Oh I'd like to take said individual for a car ride in Bloomfield Hills, better yet Franklin Michigan.
If you had the money of those in Franklin, you'd burn yours...
Also show them the West Side of Telegraph i.e. Franklin and 2 blocks North of the Detriot Skate Club on the other side of Telegraph where it becomes Pontiac and see what Lefist regimes do to a city aka just like Detroit.
Also show them Grand Rapids, all places up North and in Farm Country.
We are so not Detroit as a State.....
In the current Forbes there is a Chart indicating states where you should invest or not invest in a house or muni bond. Michigan is faint pink, ok, not faint blue and not ok. I would imagine some counties, like Wayne county, might be dark blue however.
I admit, I was surprised.
Yep, my lady lives in GR (I’m in Waterford, so that’s convenient!)...and GR is damn nice for a larger city. All true about Bloomfield Hills, Franklin, Novi, Northville, and on and on. I love riding my motorcycle through any of those areas in the summer. How about Old Orchard Trail (south side of Orchard Lake)? Some of those people (mansions) have TWO lakefronts I think. Sweeeeeet.
I appreciated your other post on this thread too.
“We are so not Detroit as a State”
Just about 15 or so years ago a local Detroit news anchor at Ch 7 Action News by the name of Guy Gordon was reporting on some kind of crisis in the city when he concluded his remarks by saying, “After all, we’re ALL Detroiters”, as though their entire viewership should share in this deep sense of community even though some of that viewership is more than 40 miles away from the nearest boundary of the city.
Ever since then, I watch the local news more as a critic than I do as an enquiring mind with a need to know.
