Having moved from California, I was nervous that the DMV experience in Michigan might be around the same. Thankfully, it was such a pleasant experience and it was nothing like California -- which is a disaster and you spend an average of 4 hours there to just get a new license! I told everyone back in California how PAIN-LESS this trip was. Many of them were wishing they could experience the same .... but that will never happen. Lastly, book an appointment. It's SO EASY online. I showed up 15 minutes before my appointment. They took me right at my appointment time. How professional and responsible is that?! Highly recommend this location and I plan to return should I need to in the near future.

36 District Court located in downtown Detroit…read more A large Square windowless building with minimal air circulation makes you very claustrophobic. It works pretty much like a factory. This Court serves everything from landlord tenant to Minor felonies. You will see people standing in line at counters on every floor. Each floor has its own designated Court system that it services. You will find real estate at one desk. landlord tenant at another desk. You will find probation department at a different desk. You will find traffic fines at a different desk. If you are coming to this building please be sure you visit their website to find out what items are not allowed in the building. I can tell you that they do not allow cell phones, ink pens, and no food or water. It is best if you only bring your ID wallet and car key if necessary. This court handles lots of cases and they get you through as quickly as they can. Please be patient with the bailiffs and also the court Personnel or they may possibly lock you up. I saw someone arguing in the hall and suddenly the court security personnel pulled out handcuffs and the police came and escorted the person into a holding cell at the end of the hall. If you are here for landlord tenant go to the second floor to the information desk for information about your case. The legal clinic is on the 4th floor and it is not open everyday. You need to be sure that you understand what documents you can bring in and in what form before you come to this building. Always Be sure you look it up on 36 District Court website because they give specific information that changes almost daily.

My name is John Ali, and I regularly handle shipping for StockX-related orders. On a typical month,…read morewe ship well over 300 packages, so I'm very familiar with how shipping locations operate and what basic customer service should look like. Unfortunately, my experience at this Hamtramck location was extremely disappointing. The employee I dealt with, Tina, was dismissive and unhelpful from the beginning. I asked a simple question about getting a label, and instead of assisting, she made the process unnecessarily difficult and confusing. I was told I needed to purchase tape, was charged for it, and never even received it. When I asked for a receipt, she did not provide one. At that point, I decided I didn't feel comfortable continuing the transaction. I asked for a supervisor, and the number I was given did not work. When I requested that she contact a supervisor directly, she refused. Another employee nearby did not step in to help resolve the situation either. Instead of trying to fix the issue, I was ultimately told they would not ship my package after already taking payment. The situation escalated further when I was threatened with the police over a situation that should have been handled professionally from the start. Given the volume of shipments we handle every month, reliability and professionalism are extremely important to us. Because of this experience, we will not be using this location moving forward and will be taking our business to another shipping facility. I would strongly recommend others consider alternative locations if they expect clear communication and respectful service. -- John Ali

In addition to Baird, there is the Old Wayne County Jail and the William Dickerson Detention Facility. This jail is newer and in some ways, cleaner, than others. But it has many of the problems that are prevelent in other urban jails. As a social worker I occassionally visit detention facilities and, frankly, I've seen better. The process for visits is very chaotic and traumatizing to both the inmates and the family members. Staff are rude to visitors, professionals (like myself) who are entering the facility on business, and even to each other. It's hard to find visitng hours for this facility, so I'll paste them in here. Monday: Last names starting with A through H (7:30 am until 10:30 am) Tuesday : Last names starting with A through H (6:00 pm until 9:00 pm) Wednesday: Last names starting with I through Q (7:30 am until 10:30 am) Thursday: Last names starting with I through Q (6:00 pm until 9:00 pm) Friday: Last names starting with R through Z (7:30 am until 10:30 am AND 6:00 pm until 9:00 pm Saturday: Minor child visitation with approval and by appointment only. Children often get arbitrarily turned away from visits, even when they already have approval and have an appointment.

This is a beautiful building with an excellent location in downtown Detroit.  I am looking forward…read moreto the redevelopment of this building in particular, or, in worse case scenario, whatever ends up here.  There is plenty of parking.  It is easy on and off to three major freeways.  The utilities in the area are first rate and being put in to a world class state.  The building is classically built with large emblazoned letters on it announcing 'Loyal Order of Moose'.  If you are looking for a great place to settle your office or set up a branch over the next few years this is an opportunity not to be missed. "This building opened in 1922 and was designed by the firm Baxter, O'Dell & Halpin. The building has been vacant for decades, including 10 years under ownership of the Ilitch family, which paid $1.5 million for it in February 2007. In 1994, there were plans to turn the lodge into a nightclub, but that idea never came to fruition. In August 2017, Olympia Development of Michigan filed with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality a document calling for asbestos cleanup at the 45,000-square-foot building noting that it was headed for rehab."

During my visits in June and August 2025, I found a city that's actively reclaiming its narrative. Downtown felt safe and well-patrolled, with a visible police presence that added to the sense of security. The streets were impressively clean - no litter, mostly empty but some overflowing bins, just a well-kept urban core that defied outdated stereotypes. It's clear that the city is investing in its public spaces and infrastructure, and the results are tangible. Beyond the surface, Detroit pulses with energy and pride. Historic buildings have been thoughtfully restored, green spaces are inviting, and the mix of old and new architecture tells a story of resilience and reinvention. Whether you're admiring the grandeur of the Guardian Building, strolling through Capitol Park, or hopping on the People Mover for a loop around downtown, there's a sense that Detroit isn't just surviving. It is thriving. The city still has challenges, like any major metro, but what I saw was a community determined to move forward, with grit, grace, and a surprising amount of charm. I enjoyed my time here and look forward to returning when my work gathers next year. Hopefully that's in the summer again because Detroit winters? Ouch!

I explained to the clerk the reason for my visit. The clerk pulls up the marriage license application but does not see the actual license. I am so glad that I take pictures of all of my vital documents just in case something like this happens. I show the picture of the marriage license to the clerk because at this time she is asking, "did you turn it in?". I'm like ma'am I have an actual picture, so she was able to take the number from the picture and look for the license. Now me and my husband only been married for three years so why is it not in the system ma'am.

The structure includes polished black granite, fluted pilasters and sculpted eagles that symbolize its purpose as a federal building. Inside, the courthouse boasts an open central court above the second floor and houses one of its most remarkable features: the Romanesque-style Chief Judge's Courtroom. This room was salvaged from the previous courthouse at the insistence of Judge Arthur Tuttle, who oversaw its careful disassembly and reconstruction. The courtroom's marble and mahogany details were preserved in over 150 barrels and reassembled using original blueprints, making it one of the most beautiful examples of courtroom design in the country. The building is named after Judge Theodore Levin, who served as Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan from 1959 to 1967. It is possible to go inside the courthouse whether you have business with the court or not. However, cell phones are not permitted. Pictures of the inside are available on the internet.

It is also the place where my brother was sworn in as a US Citizen. The building is enormous -- it is the size of an entire downtown block in Detroit. For a historical building, the architecture is interesting and modern. It was the former site of Fort Shelby and the US Post Office. What I especially remember about this building were the beautiful, intricately hand painted domed walls when walking in. Sculptures by architect Parducci are also on display. As beautiful as it is, typical federal courthouse goings-on happen in there. No cell phones, no cameras, no fun. My brother was supposed to be sworn in with 200 other people at this building. However, they never called his name and he had to say, "Wait a minute! You didn't call my name!" And it took about 10 minutes for them to find his certificate in a folder, and on top of that his middle name was misspelled. It was very un-glam.
