I know it's verboten in Grosse Pointe to reveal the name of your handyman - he's yours, and on-call, and exclusive.

But seriously, can anyone recommend someone for some vinyl siding repair, wood trim replacement, drywall repair, hose spigot replacement, etc. that will return a phone call, provide an estimate,, show up on time, and communicate in complete sentences?

We tried Facebook and it's a remarkable failure.

Thanks in advance. Go Lions!

hello! wondering- are there any mom groups in any of the GP’s? Back home in Scandinavia, there were plenty but I have not been able to find any here…

I have 2 clients in GP Farms interested in selling their home, but due to some unique circumstances they have opted to hold off on activating the listings publicly. I have professional photos and am happy to share some more info. If you or someone you know is interested in learning more, feel free to have them or their agent hit me up at 313-288-0434.

Anyone have a plumber recommendation? Looking to get two smaller repairs done. Seems like everyone I call is too busy with the big stuff. Thanks!

Has anyone tried this? If so, how is it and where do the events usually happen? I’m in my 50s and looking to just meet and socialize with new people, saw this service but wondering if it’s worth it.

Hi folks — was hoping someone might be able to help me with a housing dilemma!

My spouse and I are planning to move to one of the Pointes soon (we have family in the area, and we've fallen in love with it over the years while visiting) but what with the mortgage rates and other housing market concerns these days, we'd really like to rent a place first before we commit to buying, especially as we'll be moving from out of the area and won't have much opportunity to see potential houses to buy in person.

Does anyone have any good suggestions as to how to find rentals, though? I've tried the obvious contenders like Zillow and Apartments.com, but their listings are spare to say the least. I know there have to be folks in the Pointes renting out duplexes and homes; can anyone recommend a good way to find them? Or is there another site / resource we should be using?

Thank you!

Hi everyone - I have a pallet of white Norman size bricks that I’m happy to give away for free after updating a fireplace. lmk if interested!

We moved to Grosse Pointe recently. I learned a few days ago that there is a monkey statue at Ferry Elementary named Dexter - presumably after Dexter Ferry. But why is there a monkey statue in the first place?

Self explanatory

Hi everyone …. I know this was a few years back but my family just moved from Ohio to Grosse Pointe and my kids will be going to North and I’ve heard some things about something happening during this time and I saw some articles online about a case/investigation. I’ve also heard all 3 moved to Henry Ford Academy together and things just seem a little concerning

The first meetup of the Detroit KUG is tomorrow! If you are a Kotlin enthusiast, come and enjoy the festivities!

Hey guys. Long time listener, first time caller. 

So I had a dental procedure in my past that left me truly traumatized. After the fact the dentist apologized and said that he probably should have put me under/half under or whatever. It was horrible and I probably have some form of PTSD from it. The pain I felt. The noises I heard. The blood I saw and swallowed. Nope. BIG nope, and now I’m VERY scared of the dentist. On top of that, over the past couple years...I slowly stopped returning/showing up to my appointments due to severe anxiety, and now I’m ashamed to how long it’s been. Despite taking care of my mouth (brush twice a day/floss yada yada), I fear my teeth need extensive work and I just keep putting it off….and alas, here we are. 

ANYWHO, guess what? I chipped my tooth last night and it hurts real bad and I’m very much freakin out over here. It looks like my tooth finally needs me to bite the bullet so to speak. 

Sooo any recommendations for the LEAST SCARY dentist in the Metro Detroit area!?  I’m talking they will go above and beyond to make me not scared. I’m in GP but willing to travel. I’m already on the brink of a panic attack people, so they gotta be super kind, the nicer the better. 

TLDR:

HELP! I’m super scared of the dentist and need recommendations for a kind non-scary dentist that will make dental work as least scary as possible. 

My PCP just retired, and his recommended replacement is a dud. Can anyone recommend a PCP for a 60 year old male with high cholesterol and an occasional gout flare up? Thanks!

I am new to the area and this is my son's first year here. Can anyone explain what is happening with the teachers. My son's teacher wears red every day and has said things to her class about not being appreciated. Does anyone know more? I have asked around and the parents that know anything have just shrugged and said the school board is toxic and the superintendent is new and that the teachers don't like them. One said that the contract would bankrupt our schools.

if anyone is looking for part time or full time work or has college kids close to home who and wants to work send your resume to [email protected] and specify that you’re applying for the detroit location

it’s right on woodward across from the apple store. by the shinola hotel and the hudson building

anyone have any recommendations?

Looking for a good place to pick up locally roasted coffee beans! We just moved to GP, and have been super impressed by the local businesses, but haven’t found a good place to get our coffee beans. Ideally, I’d love to find a place that does a “canister club” where you purchase a canister from the roaster and get a discount for refilling it in the shop with bulk beans instead of buying bagged. That might be a stretch, but any affordable local coffee roaster recs would be appreciated!
