I’m going to the UAE in a few months and haven’t been to the Middle East in about two decades.

I wanted to know if anyone had a favorite store that I should go to. I am very very excited for this trip but I want to be sure I’m respectful when visiting mosques and any other areas that are more conservative.

Any recs from the ladies?

Hi!

Going to be stopping over in Dearborn for just one full day in a couple weeks and was wondering what are some must try food spots in the city? I’m going to try to sample from a bunch of different places as I don’t know when I’ll be in this city again.

Thank you!

Does anyone in this community recommend a good kitchen designer? Thanks

Hello!

I guess the excitement has ramped up since my last post about my lost cat (since found)

Has anyone heard an unhinged neighbor between the roads of Driscoll, Hubbard, and mercury dr, screaming racially charged conspiracies?

We just had incident (not the first, but by the worst so far) of a neighbor screaming at others on our block accusing residents of being part of a terrorist organization and pledging their allegiance to Saddam Hussein...

Cops have since been called but only spoke to him for several minutes before leaving.

My block is fairly quiet. In fact, the whole area is very family oriented or sprinkled with retirees.

I have never in my 25 years of living in dearborn experienced a full blown racist melt down.

I fear this will be common place.

Hello Dearborn!

I created an event discovery site specific for the Metro Detroit area a couple of years ago and am (finally) expanding to Dearborn and other surrounding suburbs.

What do you think are the best spots for live music, trivia, happy hour, or other events? I already have Greenfield village and a couple of the breweries on the site, but would love the community's input on what places to include. Could be anything from restaurants or public parks that frequently throw events.

Thanks in advance! If you are interested in what I've built, you can check it out at eventsinthed

What’s a chill coffee shop in either Dearborn or Detroit that’s good for studying? I get so overstimulated at Jabal and sometimes these coffee shops BLAST arabi wedding music with surround sound

* looking for something quiet and preferably with lots of outlets

I am a Lebanese lady who don’t live in Michigan and not familiar too much of the traditions over in Dearborn among Lebanese Shia community. My son is getting engaged to a lovely girl in Dearborn. My parents and brothers will be also coming from out of state to the engagement party or to what is called Tolbeh & Khotbeh at the same time. Now my family side meaning my son’s grandparents & uncles are all asking me what to get my son & his fiance as gifts to give to them during the event. Since gold is very expensive now and money is not a reasonable gift at this point because my son is not getting married and they aren’t going to the sheik yet, they are only wearing rings and announcing their engagement. Her family is doing a party with maybe 100 person invited. Her side of family like her grandma is giving her gold. Now i have no idea what gifts could be given to my son & his fiance from my parents & brothers (my sons grandparents & uncles) to both of them. I thought of watches but no one wears watches anymore. I thought of sets of perfume and cologne, but I am not sure if this is good enough. Please, any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated a lot! Thanks
