A former Detroit Avenue merchant has dropped its federal racial discrimination lawsuit against the city. Just 4 Girlz, a Detroit Avenue women’s clothing store — that closed earlier this year — filed a based on a building department inspection. Filed by Just 4 Girlz co-owner Steven Kessler, the lawsuit claimed that city inspector Kevin Kelley made racist remarks during an August building inspection. The city — as well as Kelley — has vehemently denied the accusations.

On Thursday, Kessler dismissed the case “with prejudice,” …

Swarming is a natural process of hive expansion. If you see a cluster of bees like this photo shows, do not panic. They are not aggressive and are in fact rather docile in this stage. Don't kill them. They are leaving the hive with their queen (in the center of the cluster) to make a new home. They wait here surrounding the queen until their scout bee's return to tell them where the new …
