Hi everyone! I’m 23F and am moving to the area this weekend. I figured I’d make a post to introduce myself and hopefully make some new friends.

A little bit about me: I love crocheting, going on walks, going to cafes, and reading philosophy. I’m always up for grabbing coffee and having good conversations!

Feel free to reach out if you’d like to connect!

With Halloween coming up on Saturday, I thought I would share all the events happening around the area that I have found so far. Add whatever I missed to the comments and hopefully this thread will serve as a resource for people asking what to do for Halloween this week.

Hello, does anyone have dog boarding recommendations near Royal Oak? We’ve taken them to All American Pet Resorts in Royal Oak a couple of times because we absolutely loved the one we used to go to in another state but we have a few things we aren’t thrilled with about the Royal Oak location (their cameras often don’t work, we don’t get photos or a report card after their stay like we did with the other location, one of our dogs came home with what seemed to be poop on his head, and now one of them came home with a loose tooth which I know is probably not directly their fault but we’re overall just not too pleased even though the staff has been nice). Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. We prefer a structured day where they have a few group playtimes and then rest times (rather than a few places we’ve seen where they are at group play most of the day). Thanks (:
