- The Ferndale contingent of Blowout marches on. Enough has been written about whether a more focused event held on one weekend in Hamtramck would have been better (it would have), but walking through Ferndale does allow ample opportunity to laugh at the club scene that seems to have sprung up there.

- Hamtramck will be lit up with people getting lit today--gorging on pazcki and alcohol. Various bars throughout the city (remember there is about a million) will be holding events packed with bands and drink specials. Check out the New Dodge, Whiskey, Belmont, and Kelly's for some of the best day drinking. Then, take a nap and get back out there for a night time of gluttony.

- A new study finds African-Americans are increasingly fearful of suburban White males. In the study, conducted by the Pew Research Center, 65 percent of those surveyed responded favorably to the statement: ‘I, or my children, will likely meet their mortal end at the hands of a White male 18-30’.

“I’m not saying [...]
