Ever wish A place (workshop) existed where you could build a project, somewhere to relax while programming, be able to think and share ideas, and learn while lending a helping hand? Well you are in luck, Royal Oak being the home of many arts, crafts and entrainment outlets, has gained its first Hacker Space. A 1500sqf environment dedicated for builders, crafters, thinkers, and coders, is equipped with a workshop, classroom, loft, future AV room, and many other possibilities.
After months of weekly meetings at The Coffee Beanery in Berkley, i3Detroit has made its home located downtown at 322 East 4th Street Royal Oak Mi.

So it was a nice hot evening, decided to go for a walk downtown. I just knew when I steped off the porch it was going to be an interesting night, and I should have at that moment turned around and grabbed my camcorder.
