The fourth annual Marshmallow Drop and Family Resource Fair goes down this weekend in District 3 and halal marshmallows will rain from the sky.

A helicopter will fly over the Heilmann Recreation Center and drop the marshmallows, in which participants can gather them (or just eat them) for a stuffed backpack filled with goodies.

Other festivities include free meals (including halal goat), live music, a DJ, horse, pony and train rides, a video game truck, bounce platforms and more.

There is no other house in the 48205 ZIP code, or even the entire city, like this house on Coram Street. On the outside, it is a typical midcentury colonial, the kind you’d find all over the east side. What makes it unique is that the architect of the 1940-built home, who also had a hand in plotting other homes in this subdivision, designed the home for himself and his family, meaning there are flourishes throughout that suggest a custom-built home.

Three times a week, Viranel Clerard starts his day at 5 a.m., where he gets up and photographs art around the city of Detroit. “My goal is by the first snowfall of this year is to get 3,000 murals up on the blog.”

“It’s a lot of murals to get up right now. The goal is to have all murals documented on the blog.”

At The Neighborhoods, we’re interested in hearing from everybody in Detroit about what matters most to you.
