Two questions for the locals,
A few minutes ago there was a really loud siren in royal oak, not an up down up down, just a one minute rise one minute hold one minute fall. Really weird and really loud. What was that?
Also what's with the flashing green lights on buildings I've seen it all over the place now, on petrol stations and other buildings a small green flashing light outside, what's the deal with that?

Tornado siren, always on the first Saturday of the month.
Don't know what the green lights are you're talking about.
I believe it's part of Project Green Light.

Yeah, any tornado siren sounded at 1pm on a Saturday is almost assuredly a test.
Every community has to test their tornado sirens the first Saturday of the month during the summer... Probably all you heard
Or the Russians are invading.
Just a heads up for people. A section of I75 from 696 going north is closed this weekend. They are making repairs and bridge work.
Basically every road I take to go somewhere has some kind of construction at the moment.
Ohh and there is a Art Fair in Ferndale. On 9 mile.

And of course, I have to drive up North tomorrow to my sister's house. X_X
It's up to Square Lake. I just looked it up. Ohh and it's both directions too. My mistake.
Great news everybody! Mosquitos are spreading a fatal illness!
Yeah it's like 14 miles. Woodward is going to be jammed with all the diverted traffic.

That's from Erebus! It's this massive haunted house in Pontiac that is pretty famous.
Yeah! When I was in elementary school. I'm not sure how it's held up in the 20-something years since then but it terrified my mom and me then. It's on a list of best haunted houses in the country.

How can you be bad a boardgames? Anyway, as long as you enjoy them and the company who cares if you win or not!
That's true! I have trouble paying attention to the rules. I played the house on haunted hill and it was fun but I was just copying what others were doing as best as I could.

Sound strategy. You should come to the board game meetup. 😁

Anyone been to Detroit Shipping Company? Made a trip out today, lots of great fun food!
DSC is great!
Detroit City FC won away at NY Cosmos tonight and can lock up the only ever Members' Cup trophy Wednesday in Pontiac against Michigan Stars. Either way, the match at Keyworth in Hamtramck on Saturday is going to be unbelievable since it *should* be pretty much celebrating the win on the whole season.

Question folks, what are good options to get to Toronto? Is there a good train/bus connection from Detroit?
I've taken the overnight greyhound a couple of times, rather convenient. Leaves Detroit a little after midnight and gets to Toronto 6:00 AM ish. (thought this was a few years ago, maybe the timings have changed).
You could cross the border yourself and take the VIA Rail train from Windsor to Toronto. It's about a 10 minute drive from the tunnel. Average trip is just over 4 hours, so not bad at all. They have parking where you can leave your car, although I'm not sure how much it is. Round trip tickets usually range between $70-130 Canadian, depending on upgrades.
Yeah, I'm not readyIt's too early for this. The leaves still haven't completely fallen off the trees yet.

Leave leaves where they fall it's better for the environment and the ecosystem.

Since moving here I have noticed a lot of people ignore red lights when turning left assuming there is no cross or oncoming traffic. In particular on Michigan-left turns.
Every time it surprises me and I am like "bruh, you are breaking the law!" as I have never seen it this frequently or blatantly anywhere else.
What's the deal?

It's legal to turn left on red if traffic only goes in one direction, hence why you see it happen at Michigan lefts
?
Turning left from a one-way onto a one-way is legal. Which is the case for Michigan lefts.

Ok then. The more you know. This will freak out the missus next time I attempt this maneuver for myself.
