Actually, I live in Oakland County in Michigan.
I take your point, though. I was just peaved off when I wrote that. Most of MI is a great place with good people. It's unfortunate that a large number of persons in places like Flint, Detroit, Highland Park, Pontiac, etc that make it look worse than it really is.
I'd still move out in a second, if I could, but mostly because of the weather.
My including you in the response was just a courtesy ping.
I spent more than the first half of my life in Oakland County, and still play around in the Paint Creek every chance I get.
