DETROIT, MI - Detroiters, whether they're in the city or suburbs, are passionate people who aren't afraid to express their opinions.

Now they got an opportunity to spread their wealth of knowledge to the world about - of all things – their best place for ice cream.

We're a new operation here at Mlive Detroit, so we're seeking your advice. Tell us, our colleagues in other cities, and loyal readers where to go for the state's best sweet treats.

You'll get fame, glory and a sense of accomplishment.

And you'll also give reporters a reason to avoid staff meetings.

Now we're ready to here all about ice cream.

We're open to all suggestions.
