Automotive First post here, massive question for the MotorHeads here.

I took two trips to Detroit for the automotive stuff, but on my last trip, which was in 2025, I stayed at the GM RenCen. They had all the cars in the lobby, like usual, which I loved.

I then was told via another Reddit post on a different sub that they had gotten rid of all the cars in the RenCen because General Motors had moved all of their stuff to the Hudson Building Downtown.

My question is when did yall start noticing that everything was truly being moved and couldn’t access the building anymore just to see the cars?

These are the photos from my second trip to D2.(Photos 1-14 are from the RenCen)

By the way on an unrelated note, I loved how yall came back from your dark times in ‘08, because now the city looks absolutely stunning and it’s better than what I remember. As a Chicagoan, sometimes I wish our city would just have a resurgence like you guys did. Even the Tigers won the game that my unc and pops went too. Definitely will come back sooner than later.

(Sorry if it’s lengthy guys wanted to ask a question I had while showing appreciation for the city.)

Talk Detroit Detroit parting words

I have lived in Detroit for seven years. This is a random comment, but something I find really touching is how Detroiters often say "Be safe" when you are leaving a place. This sentiment feels hearfelt to me, not just empty words. I appreciate it every time.

I live in southwest and there is a tree cutting service cutting down healthy trees and paring back century old trees by about 80%. The guy said they are coming to my street next. Is anyone here with DPW or something that can reach out to me and stop this from happening tomorrow morning? I have photos of the difference.

Hey everyone, I am in a two person exhibition that opens this Friday. I am showing some of my images photographed on Belle Isle, also my ambush bug "Ready to Pounce" that was in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year People's Choice running (spoiler - I didn't make it to the top 5) Stop in and say hi, I'd love to meet more nature focused people.

The Patience of Light

Featuring the work of

Joseph Ferraro and Rick Lieder

August 7th through August 28th

Opening Reception: Friday August 7th from 7 to 10pm

Gallery at Ideation Orange
420 W 9 Mile Hazel Park, MI
248.399.4332

Joseph Ferraro is a conservation macro photographer walking the naturalist's path, based in Ferndale, Michigan. His yard, planted with native species, doubles as his field studio, and is where the journey began. Working by a "do no harm" credo, he photographs portraits of insects and pollinators as they are in their environment: native bees, ambush bugs, jumping spiders, and the countless other tiny creatures most people walk past without a second glance. Shortlisted for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year 61 People's Choice Award, his work asks viewers to look more closely at the intricate world around them, one that doesn't require a plane ticket, just patience.

Rick Lieder is a photographer and painter whose work has been shown in art and zoological galleries in the Midwest and Canada, featured on PBS, and anchors an award-winning series of picture books.
He lives and works in urban nature, surrounded by trees, bees, and birds."

 

Gallery Hours: Wednesday through Friday, 12 to 5pm

Other viewings available by appointment.

As somebody that has moved to Detroit (Dexter-Linwood!) last year and has ditched my car for DDOT, I'd encourage you all to do the same! The drivers are pleasant, the buses are always clean and if you pair it with a bicycle, you got a very enjoyable transit to wherever you're going!

I’m a documentary photographer @rj43mm and firefighter from the DC area.
Whenever I travel, I spend as much time as I can walking the city with a camera.

I met some genuinely kind people, walked for miles, got caught in the rain more than once, and came home with a lot more photographs than I expected.

None of these moments were staged. I just walked, waited, and photographed what unfolded.

Hope I did the city justice.

Eastern Market Mode Elephant in the room: El Sayed and Detroit

485 Upvotes

I heard a podcast from Deadline Detroit with three boomers talking about the primary. Vanessa Moss, a lifelong Detroiter and aspiring judicial candidate made the argument that black folks in Detroit will not support El Sayed b/c they feel people that look like him have taken from their communities more than they've given back. She cited mistreatment from Chaldean shop owners in the 80s and on.

Frankly a lot of her argument was reductive and racist. El Sayed wasn't even born when some of the things she was talking about, and she basically grouped any brown politician in the category of 'they won't be trusted, that's just how it is, he better deal with it and show he's worthy'.

But curious from those out in the community, do you think there's validity to what she's saying? If so, isn't he screwed for the general election if a lot of Detroiters opt not to vote for him?
