My kind of neighborhood!!!

Post by Boogeyman » Wed Oct 28, 2009 5:45 pm

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.

Cool.

People in Michigan need a little fun this year.
All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

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. :)

Probably, at least until da beer and fried foods kick in. Then we'd get into some stoopid fight over ta yoos an auger or saw to cut holes for da ice fishing. And then fall inta da lake.
