Horoscopes (April 12-18)

by Cal Garrison

By Metro Times editorial staff

ARIES (March 21- April 20): You can’t be expected to know how to manage this. When life looks like the “52-Pick-Up Olympics,” hardly anything rests in our hands. The laws of serendipity are about to release you from this craziness, long enough to grab a hold of yourself. Certain things will never improve. You can learn to live with that or walk away. There is no right way to handle anything. Your story is too unique to diagnose here. For now, spend less energy trying to uphold the status quo and put the emphasis on trying to understand that what is unique about you came here to shine.

Horoscopes (April 5-11)

By Metro Times editorial staff

ARIES (March 21- April 20): If you’re paying attention things are probably ready to pop. They will or they won’t, depending on whether you’ve been straight with yourself. So far so good. What happens next comes down to your ability to stay balanced in the midst of a maelstrom of change. Old habits are bound to crop up and point you straight down the Bunny Trail. So will the people and things that go with the territory. Who knows how much leeway you’ve got? In your shoes, I would do my best to keep the light on and be mindful of the need to keep impatience, and my ego, on the back burner.

Horoscopes (March 29-April 4)

By Metro Times editorial staff

ARIES (March 21- April 20): You can’t afford to let this get to you. It’s hard to say how you’re going to play it because your skin is so thin and you’ve had it up to here with people and their B.S. That being said: Did it ever occur to you that you’d do a lot better to embrace whoever or whatever it is that’s driving you crazy? I say this to play the devil’s advocate and to remind you that that best defense is always the one that offers no resistance. Think about that before you decide to shut people off, up, or down. This is no time to be alienating the very people who have the ways and means to help you.

One-Eyed Betty’s One-Eyed Betty's has the hands-down most outrageous beer selection in Ferdale with 47 beers on tap and more than the proverbial 100 bottles. But it’s not just about quantity: It’s a darn good selection, constantly rotating, and seemingly churning up offbeat picks, such as German Hobo, a malt liquor brewed out near Lansing, or Hidden Effect, a barley wine from Plymouth. Then there’s the food menu, with choices rich enough to become almost a caricature of bar food — given such dishes as “beer cheese soup” and “bacon with a side of bacon.” 175 W.

Kuzzo's Chicken & Waffles 19345 Livernois Ave., Detroit; 313-861-0229 It didn't take long for the lines to form once Kuzzo's opened its doors. The irresistible comfort food combo — chicken and waffles — is obviously the main draw, and Kuzzo's is the latest in Detroit to try its hand at the dish. But it also offers up a host of other soul food staples. The early raves have held up and momentum has remained strong, which is a solid test of whether a restaurant is merely trendy or built for longevity. MT file photo.
