Hello all,

Having been recommended Free Geek Twin Cities by several techies on YouTube and PeerTube, I have been looking for a local version. It looks like there used to be a Motor City Free Geek in Royal Oak, or Troy, depending on which listing you find.

Does anyone know if it still exists? Or if it went away, what happened?

Thanks in advance. :)

I have been wondering about that too. I don't know when it disappeared. It had to be at least ten years ago when I helped with their newsletter.

As to Motor City Free Geek: The founder/owner had a hard time with it and recently passed away after some time in a nursing home.

I worked there for some time.

Who was the owner? For the life of me, I cannot remember who I worked with on the newsletter.  Which I'm not sure ever went out as he was determined to begin issuing it from the founding even though considerable time had passed between then and when I worked for him.
