Twenty-five years after 9/11, the trauma of that day still lingers vividly in the minds of many—including a fifth grader in Metro Detroit and his teacher, who rallied her class to support New York firefighters. Experts explain how intense emotions during such events leave unforgettable imprints on memory, and while some find healing in remembering, others may benefit from mental health support.

Jackson City just passed a sweeping new ordinance targeting unattended belongings, unauthorized tents, and excess property—anything over a 32-gallon bin is now deemed a public nuisance. Set to take effect in 30 days, the law includes a 24-hour notice (sometimes as short as 4 hours downtown) before removal, with exemptions for essential items like meds and legal docs. While officials say it’s neutral and aimed at everyone, residents like Lucille Valle fear it’s unfairly impacting homeless people. Critics—including one council member—argue it ignores root causes of homelessness and could worsen the crisis amid economic strain. The city promises free retrieval of stored items within 30 days, no ID required, and no fines or jail time. A deeply divided community grapples with how to balance public space and human need.

Comic book fans are bracing for potential price hikes as U.S.-Canada trade tensions loom — since most comics are printed in Canada, tariffs could hit shelves soon. Though comics aren’t currently on the tariff list, collectors and retailers like Marcus Embry at Summit Comics are watching closely, hoping to keep prices stable so fans can keep their escapist reads affordable. With inflation and other factors already affecting pricing, this trade dispute adds another layer of uncertainty — a reminder that even our favorite stories are vulnerable to global economic shifts.

Border crossings in Michigan will briefly shut down Friday, September 11th, at 8:46 AM for a solemn national remembrance of the 9/11 attacks. All major crossings—including the Sault Ste. Marie, Blue Water, Gordie Howe, Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, and Ambassador Bridge—will pause traffic, ring taps, raise flags, and observe a moment of silence. Expect closures lasting just 30 minutes or less, with normal operations resuming immediately afterward. Plan ahead if you’re crossing the border that morning—it’s a small inconvenience for a powerful act of collective remembrance.
