More Mind, Less Grind: Women of Detroit hip-hopnew
There's a definite shift taking place in Detroit. Women with intelligence in music is nothing new, but the fact that they're banding together, tired of all the institutional bullshit and mainstream-encouraged hyper-sexualization — that is a wonderful thing, and it's happening in Detroit now.

"To Us, Marriage is a Sacrament."new
Lucien Greaves, Spokesperson for The Satanic Temple, speaks with us about gay marriage and Gov. Rick Snyder: "Gov. Rick Snyder allows his loathing of homosexuals to trump his adhesion to the Constitution. What we’d like to do is school Snyder on the Constitution, and school him on the First Amendment by performing a gay marriage in Michigan. To us, marriage is a sacrament."

When 555 Gallery cut a Banksy out of the old Packard Plant in Detroit, they said it was to "preserve" the street art. Now, strapped for cash, the gallery intends to sell it, raising all sorts of questions: What are the rules of street art? Who really painted it? And how much is it worth?

Detroit's Real Estate Market Sees Reboundnew
The latest third quarter data shows that Detroit's real estate market lead the nation in year-over-year increases at 44.3 percent. However, behind the numbers lurks a less ebullient reality: Detroit is the only market in the nation to still remain below the highs of the last decade.
