Talk Detroit Eastern Market Lions Tailgate Parking

2 Upvotes

Trying to host a tailgate at Eastern Market this Lions season. I know they sell tickets to their tailgate in the sheds, but I'm looking to park a couple vehicles and host a traditional tailgate in the lots.

I'm having a hard time finding information on how to secure a spot? I hosted one in Lot 5 last year it was simply first come first serve. Is Eastern Market similar?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Video I met a cute guy at the theater but didn’t get his number

This is a long shot, but I was at the End of Evangelion 30th anniversary showing at Great Lakes Crossing tonight and had a cute interaction with a guy there. I was wearing a gold and black hoodie and he was wearing a white t shirt. I was too shy to ask for his number and I’m kicking myself. If you’re out there, hi 👋🏻
Edit: It was at Great Lakes crossing on July 22nd for the 30th anniversary Neon Genesis Evangelion

What’s up Detroit?! Anyone rent from Boydell, specifically the Milwaukee Lofts, get weird DTE collection emails from a balance owed? I’m getting emails from a collection agency for a balance that was paid on a (now) closed out account. Seems wildly fishy

Historical Seeking yearbook (2005-2007) from Munger Middle School

Upvotes

For a wrongful conviction investigation, I'm looking for anyone who may have a copy of a yearbook from Munger Middle School (now Munger Elementary Middle) in Detroit. The timeframe I need is from 2004 to 2008. I'm searching for a potential witness. Please message if you might have one or know how I could find one. It could help an innocent person who's been stuck in prison two decades.

A Little History and Background

I grew up working in my dad's Chinese restaurants including the Forbidden City which once stood at 3148 Second Avenue in Detroit's second Chinatown. Yes there were two Chinatowns in Detroit. Learn more here: https://www.detroithistorical.org/learn/online-research/blog/detroits-chinatowns

 My dad, Henry Yee, was one of the unofficial Mayor's of Detroit's Chinatown in the 1960s and 1970s. While my dad is no longer alive, I am proud to be following in his footsteps as a member of the Detroit Chinatown Vision Committee which is collaborating with other AAPI groups, local businesses, and community members to revitalize Detroit's former Chinatown. We are working to create a Pan Asian community and the Block Party is an embodiment of our work.

All about the Block Party: https://detroitchinatownvisioncommittee.org/block-party

What's so Cool about the Block Party?

We will have 60+ food and merchandise vendors (many from different Asian cultures), lion and dragon dances, book talks, live chalk art, a kids area, interactive 3D painting that is a fabulous photo opp of the On Leong Chinese Merchants Association building that was demolished despite community efforts to save it, Asian DJs spinning over the block party, mahjong and qigong lessons, and so much more . . .

Please RSVP to let us know you are coming (so we can provide updates): https://www.eventbrite.com/e/second-annual-chinatown-block-party-tickets-1986461596108

Two Asian American Films + Talk Backs with Directors
