5 Best Restaurants in Dearborn, Michigan You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Dearborn, Michigan — a city where minarets rise beside steeples, where the scent of cardamom and charcoal mingles with the sweetness of baklava and the sizzle of shawarma. Here, the streets are stitched together by generations of Arab-American families, Polish grandmothers, Yemeni bakers, and newcomers drawn by the promise of something soulful simmering in every kitchen. The architecture is a patchwork: brick bungalows, bustling markets, and the neon glow of diners that never close, each corner humming with the stories of those who call Dearborn home.

Ranking the 5 best new pizza spots in Metro Detroit

Halloween is Saturday, and while it's a big night for candy, it is also the No. 1 day for ordering pizza. The last 12 months was a massive year for pizza news in Metro Detroit , with new places opening, businesses expanding and even some national attention. We saw new pizzerias open all over Metro Detroit, from downtown to Downriver, Hazel Park to Harrison Township. Here's a spotlight on the top 5, which I have all tried recently. Here they are in order of my favorites. This is based on the pizza only, not the ranch dressing, the vibes or the service. While this is a ranking, I do recommend all the pizzerias on this list for their quality, taste and value; you can't go wrong with any of these. 5. Armando's Pizza — Clawson This newly opened Clawson pizzeria is the first Armando's Pizza location in the United States, the others are all in Canada. I recommend the Drunken Uncle pizza, which comes with cup-and-char pepperoni and dollops of ricotta. The round, chewy crust was a bit thicker than a New York-style pizza and had a great char. They make a Detroit-style, too. Open at 3 p.m. Wednesday-Sunday, 204

Juan Atkins, Detroit pioneer who coined term 'techno,' dies at 64

Juan Atkins, the pioneering Detroit techno producer who was so essential and elemental to the sound and revolution of electronic music that he is credited with coining the term "techno," has died, his talent agency announced on Sunday. He was 64. Atkins was found unresponsive in his hotel room in Mexico City on Oct. 31 before a scheduled performance at the Yu Yu Cine Club, according to reports. He was later pronounced dead at a local hospital, Resident Advisor reports . Atkins was a member of The Belleville Three, along with his junior high school classmates Kevin Saunderson and Derrick May, who are credited with inventing the techno genre. He was also known for his work with Cybotron, Borderland, and more. Atkins' 1985 track "No UFO's," released on his own Metroplex Records, was named by Rolling Stone as one of the "200 Greatest Dance Songs of All-Time" (it was listed at No. 94), and Cybotron's 1983 song "Clear" was so influential that it later became the musical bed for Missy Elliott's 2005 single "Lose Control." Atkins performed many years at Detroit's Movement festival, the annual Hart Plaza celebration of techno music, as well as its forebear, the Detroit Electronic Music

Walk Into Fleetwood Diner In Ann Arbor And You’ll Find A 1940s Counter Open Late

At 4 a.m. in downtown Ann Arbor, most doors are locked and most lights are off. One tiny spot on a corner never got the memo about closing time. It has a handful of tables, a short row of stools, and walls so covered in stickers that you could spend an entire meal reading them. College students, early risers, and road trippers all end up at the same counter sooner or later.

A day in the life of a scare actor at Wiard’s Night Terrors

The fall season means cider, donuts and corn mazes, with many setting out their Halloween decorations the moment the air gets a chill. For many, Halloween is a chance to put on a costume and pretend to be someone else for the day. Some people are even hired to dress up and scare others. Ypsilanti resident Casey Jones is one of those people. Jones works as an actor at Wiard’s Night Terrors, where his job is to dress up as a character and to scare guests. He has been a scare actor for three years and has been working at Wiard’s Night Terrors for the past two.
