This on the local news this morning about a local neighborhood here. Watch the video and then read the story. The text has the website address as well.
P.S.: I have no connection whatsoever with this at all, just wanted to share it.

It keeps buffering on me, I'll watch it later. I've yet to spot a single decorated house in my hood, and there's probably 25,000 houses and apartment buildings in this area. Sometimes I hate living in the city.

People in Michigan need a little fun this year.

Pretty much take your local unemployment rate and double it for most of the state.

That among other things... While the country has been in a recession for about a year and half, we have been in one for about 4 years now though.

On the plus side you can pick up a house in Detroit for less than 8 grand.

I am not anywhere near Detroit. I am on the southwestern side of the state. The one area that is doing a little better. Coincidentally, it is a more conservative area too....

My family is mostly from Mi and WI, Escanaba. I was lucky to have been born and raised on the Pacific Ocean.

Isn't there a beachside park along the highway in Escanaba? If so, I have bad memories from that park. LOL. I have cousins that live in Milwaukee. You and I could probably have some very interesting discussions.
