Four future projects Detroiters can expect around 12th and Clairmount
If one were to go through a list of the most notable of intersections in Detroit — Mack and Bewick, Dexter and Davison, Seven Mile and Gratiot among them — then 12th and Clairmount might be at the top. Detroiters know it’s the historic site where the 1967 rebellion broke out, but for those living there — especially those still living there long after the last tank left — it’s home.
Community meeting to be held for 12th and Clairmount-area residents

The stories of one of Detroit’s most marginalized communities are about to be amplified in a big way.
Ahya Simone is the creator of Femme Queen Chronicles (FQC), a fictional webseries following the lives of four black trans women in Detroit. She says the idea for series first started as a means of “creating something fun and comedic just to combat some of the stories around trans women of color in Detroit and the large amount of murders (of trans women) that have happened.”
Could you name your baby after a Detroit neighborhood?
We’re feeling a bit inspired by a certain celebrity couple’s baby-name choice today, so we asked the question: Could you name your baby after Detroit?
Jerk X Jollof brings taste of African and Caribbean culture to Detroit and beyond
It's a sweaty, fast-paced frenzy of sound, smell and taste: a Nigerian flag waves frantically through the air, pulled by a young woman wining up to Maleek Berry’s hit song “Kontrol.” Colorfully patterned West African-inspired clothing dots the pulsing crowd. The song shifts to something faster: “Scene” by GBM Nutron. The sweet sound of Soca brings the dance floor to life, and the temperature reflects it. My glasses begin to fog, my legs ache from dancing, and my lips still tingle from the suya I ate earlier.
