From my notebook:

• Nextdoor Neighbor, Stoney Creek District: "Hi there, - We live off of Rolling Oaks and Hixon. Waste Management has not come down our private road for two weeks. I think they are afraid of Ice maybe. We now all have two weeks worth out there and the animals are happily indulging..." (Nextdoor)
• Nextdoor Neighbor, Pointe Place: "I need someone to climb up my attic and see what is happening up there. - There are some animals there for sure. Message me if you are able to help me. No need for contractors to respond. Looking for a handyman to help. Thanks." (Nextdoor)
• Nextdoor Neighbor, Stoney Creek District: "Is anyone else in the area North of Rochester hearing a low frequency sound - coming from seemingly everywhere when you step outside? It sounds like a very large jet aircraft passing by but it never stops and it never gets quieter. Weird." (Nextdoor)
• Nextdoor Neighbor, Hampton Circle: "Phone and tablet chargers - I am not tech savvy so forgive my ignorance :) I have a Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphone and tablet. - The chargers that plug into the wall seem universal but the cords are not. The end that plugs into the device ..." (Nextdoor)

About me: I was born and raised on Detroit's Westside, in the hard working blue-collar Polish neighborhood of Warrendale. I'm a Detroit Public School graduate who fought hard to earn my education. My aspiration into journalism came as a young kid, when I began following the corruption scandal of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. My first break in to the journalism world began with the opportunity to work at the Michigan Journal, where I primarily reported on campus and local news throughout Dearborn community. I eventually worked my way to news editor. In correlation to work in journalism, I had an amazing opportunity to study and write about many different cultures and backgrounds at the Piast Institute, which also helped me prepare for this role. So with first-hand experience growing up in a tight-knit neighborhood, I know the importance of delivering news and telling stories that impact local communities. And as a breaking news editor at Patch for Metro Detroit, it's my job to deliver that news. So feel free to contact me about news tips or your own unique experiences at dylan.siwicki@patch.com
