It is in the back of a house that I believe is somewhat of an artist's commune. The venue itself was brightly lit, and the stage was huge. There is a gender neutral bathroom located under a DJ booth, that was interestingly decorated, clean, but smelled like sewer gas. The venue is BYOB, and they take "donations" at the door. The donation was pretty much mandatory, but since Hubby's band was playing there, I coughed up $5 (they recommend donating $6-$10). There is brightly lit parking on the street, but don't park in the bus lane, that is clearly marked. Some idiot did, and we had to stop the show and make an announcement.

We came to the North Rosedale Park Community House for the Focus: HOPE Holiday Music Festival in…read moreDecember. I really had no idea what to expect. The event was totally sold out, and packed to the max. The main floor was filled with big, round tables. They had a few options for food like a cheese & fruit platter & chicken tenders. There was wine, beer & soda available as well. The service was pretty good. There is a 2nd floor as well and some people were sitting up there. I think they were the musicians and their family though. The event itself was awesome. I'm not a folk or country music fan, but I love good live music. There was a good variety of music (folk, country, blues, or all of the above). The energy in the room was amazing. This is a charity event that people attend every year. I'm so glad we were invited to attend. The Community House is definitely old & holds a lot of history. I loved the atmosphere & found it to be very intriguing. It definitely needs a lot of TLC, and looks like they're having some serious structural issues. The good news is that they have a plan, and hopefully they'll be able to fulfill the vision for a new Community House. It's clear that the community takes pride in this little landmark.

We were very very pleased with how everything turned out and had really great interactions with everyone who worked there. One note is that they don't provide catering or any other services like that. It worked out fine for us because we were able to bring in the companies from in and around Detroit that we loved.

Lots of walking here, it takes a little bit to figure out the space but I can also have access to the people over here. There's also inexpensive phone charging equipment.

Visited this venue while in Detroit for the Puma Circuit basketball tournament, and it definitely…read morelived up to hosting a large-scale event. It's located downtown and easy to find due to its size, it gives major convention center energy. They do have an attached parking garage, but with how busy the tournament was (teams and families traveling in from all over), it was often full and figured the price would be high, so we didn't park there. There is street parking and several nearby garages, but pricing varies depending on demand. If you have time, shop around for parking because some garages charge way higher. The tournament took place on the main level (first floor), and entry wasn't cheap. They offer both day passes and weekend passes, with different pricing for adults and students. Payment was convenient, they accept both card and cash. For 1 adult weekend pass, it was $75.99. Before entering the main courts area, there were several stands set up where you could purchase drink/snacks. Staff at the entrance checked for wristbands, but I didn't notice strict bag checks so outside bags, food, and drinks seemed to be allowed, at least from what I observed. Once inside, the setup was impressive. There were around 20+ courts (I'd say about 22), signs and maps were available to help navigate. Each court had visible numbering on the basket posts, along with digital scoreboards and shot clocks. I did notice that some games enforced the shot clock more consistently than others which confuses players. Restrooms were located along the perimeter walls, clearly marked and easy to find. For the most part, they were clean and well maintained despite the heavy traffic. Seating was available for spectators, which made it easier to move between games and still find a place to sit. I really enjoyed stopping by the Visit Detroit booth while in Detroit! They had a nice variety of freebies: stickers, pens, and plenty of booklets, maps, and pamphlets highlighting things to do around the city. My adventurous side (and love for a good freebie ) was definitely excited! It was a great way to get a quick feel for what Detroit has to offer, and it honestly made me want to come back and explore the city even more. This is a well-organized venue for a tournament of this size, just be prepared for crowds, parking challenges, and higher entry costs during major events.

I worked with The Loft multiple times in 2018-2019 for training events produced by my employer. The…read moreLoft was fantastic to work with and easily accommodated our requests, which included that which they were probably not used to: unconventional seating (this was hands-on hairstylist training,) extra extension cords/power strips, comfort with hair care products and heat tools being used in the space, and unconventional timing. The team at The Loft is on top of their game, is easy to get ahold of, and is great with follow-up. The catering was excellent, and I loved that they had vegan/vegetarian options plentifully available. Onsite staff was accessible and always willing to lend a hand if we needed to reset something in the room. Only a couple of snags we ran into: 1) in the warmer months the loft had a particular... odor about it. I don't know if it is because there is a workout studio below, or the neighborhood, but we had to cover it up with candles. 2) One particular event which took place in January the loft was without heat for the entire day of our training. An apology was made, but we were not given any sort of compensation for the inconvenience. Overall, it's a great unique space and I would recommend it.

We rented the large conference room a couple of times, and the staff is always warm and friendly. We were able to seat 20 people in there fairly comfortably.

You also have access to the public spaces - lounge areas, kitchen and coffee area - and you can have catering delivered. It's super convenient!

On day 2 I spent the full 10h marathon of dancing even there was a bit of rain it wasn't that cold anymore.

Movement 2025: A Spiritual Reckoning in Four On the Floor…read more I would've written this sooner, but my weekend itinerary was stacked: pedicure, wax, hair trim, stomach pump, and three hours in a sensory deprivation tank in Sterling Heights, where I may or may not have briefly died. That reminds me of the previous NDE I had toward the tail-end of May...my annual tradition of face-planting somewhere festive. Memorial Day weekend in Detroit is sacred. It's the only time of year when it's socially acceptable to fall face-first off a deck and a stage in the same 48 hours, provided you're wearing sunglasses, sunscreen, and a plausible expression of joy. I don't attend Movement. I haunt it. I materialize at Hart Plaza like a low-frequency apparition in a kimono and hot pants. I never have a wristband, yet I am everywhere: main stage, the VIP section, behind the frozen lemonade truck, briefly in the Detroit River (don't ask). This year's lineup was decent, I guess. Could've been better. I say that every year, and yet every year I end up on my knees in front of a subwoofer in the rave cave like I'm worshipping the bass as a wrathful deity. At one point, a man in a mesh tank top tried to sell me "artisanal molly" in a prescription bottle labeled Wellbutrin. I declined. Not because I don't party, but because I'd just inhaled some truly heroic rails off a stranger's god-tier cleavage and was waiting to see what happened (again, don't ask). Festival highlights included: - Being called "Ma'am" by a child in a bucket hat before he handed me a blunt. - Interrupting a set to demand the DJ play "Prince Ali" (1992 OG version, of course) and somehow succeeding, despite a crowd that clearly wasn't ready for Agrabah basslines. - Hearing "Deep Inside" and feeling every bad decision I've ever made vibrating in my spine and cervix. - Watching a man in full leather assless chaps negotiate a porta-potty truce with Grandma Techno (she easily bested him after she mowed him down with her Rascal). My Movement prep list for 2025: - Industrial-strength saline mist and tissues for when you get hit with a pesky Colombian cold - Emergency slutty outfit (weather inappropriate, crotchless, fierce) - Vintage Adderall (orange ovals for life, baybeeeeee) - Laminated list of local bail bondsmen - 1 tube of Vicks for the "traditional" reasons - Bra with enough secret hiding places to make the Underground Railroad blush By Monday night, I was 78% wild animal, 22% polite enough to order food without frightening the staff. My phone had a shattered screen, 4% battery, and 87 unanswered texts, most of them asking either "Are you still alive?" or "Who the fuck is Judith Merkintosh?" To answer the former: barely, but beautifully. To answer the latter: I'm a public service announcement with great tits and a world-class vagina. Just ask anyone at Regulars' Night. Yes... anyone. Five stars. See you next year. Or sooner, if you check the dumpster behind The Lex... or catch me doing the Friday morning Walk of Shame down Trumbull, still holding a frozen lemonade I didn't pay for.
