Costumers?

[–] AnalogyAddict@lemmy.world 29 points 4 months ago

You know, LARPers.

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 23 points 4 months ago (1 children)

“Costumers” make the costumes. Clearly Mr Mathers was providing craft services for a movie being shot in Detroit.

Aren't customers at countries' borders or something? /jk

Huh; I don't believe that it is really him.

If this is the real Slim Shady, would you please stand up?

I laughed out loud at “Cold product”, even with cold drinks they’re referencing “Lose yourself” lol

It's right in downtown and it's more of a wing of another restaurant. When I went it was packed with spaghetti, more than I wanted to eat.

More importantly right next to 100+ year old music venue...

Like sure, it's Detroit, but probably one of the few expensive locations.

Tell me you don’t know anything about literally every metropolitan area on the planet without telling me you’re a fucking rube.

Large swaths of Detroit aren't that great. That's probably true of any major city, but Detroit is 143 square miles. Manhattan is 23. Thar creates a lot of opportunity to be in a not-so-great part of a city whose population is roughly a third of what it was 70 years ago. The city runs a land bank you can buy decapitated houses from for $1k. Even on the retail market, large swaths of the city are very cheap.

All that said, Detroit might finally be turning around. The city experienced its first year of population growth in forever last year and more and more people I interact with are either visiting the city and spending money there or are actively considering moving there. There are also a lot of Detroit run small businesses popping up and the region has a strong "buy local" vibe to it.

/Someone who lives nearby and would love to see the city succeed.

Damn, are there a lot of houses that had their heads cut off?

[–] Neato@ttrpg.network 20 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Not got much takeout lately have you? That's not expensive for a meal.

Well let's see... 9 USD is about 62 DKK.

Honestly... Not bad. That's about the same price as a sharawma box here in Copenhagen, maybe even a little cheaper, depending on the quality. If I want to buy a burger from a food cart, just a single burger at the street food place near the Nørrebro shopping center, that'd be 85 to 90 DKK, which is about 13 USD for a burger.

The Iranian food stand sells food for 120 DKK per portion, or 16 USD. Pizzas in the neighborhood are between 90 and 110 DKK. A single durum shawarma is about 70 DKK. You get the idea.

Depending on the quality of the spaghetti, I'd go grab some regularly. Compared to what I'm used to, that's a pretty decent price.

Of course, McDonald's and Burger King are cheaper, but... That's just trash. Some real trash.

Bro that makes Dnmk seem more expensive than Norway& Sweden . Are these real actual prices ? For 130 SEK I had a fried chicken sandwich that could feed a family in Stockholm.

[–] cuchilloc@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Double checked, 165SEK - but in a restaurant where you actually sit down and have nice service and atmosphere . Not a fast food cheap-looking fast-food wannabee, food on cardboard kind of place. https://maps.app.goo.gl/FtXxgUBmtmmeAr4r6?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

I wasn’t impressed with it. It was fine but it’s just spaghetti.
