We really shouldn't forget Brightmore. What a lovely town that is and just think, you will never spend wasted time scrounging for a dirty needle.

Well, it certainly would be one of my top choices!

My favorite location would be a nice spot right next to I-94 (east side, so you can get the benefit of all the fumes in the area), just down the street from the beautiful, soaring smokestacks, boarded factory windows (many with unique, locally designed artistic artwork), rustic fuel storage tanks and marvelous train system.

Yup. Wonderful. And best of all, you're not technically in Detroit, but close enough you can enjoy all the ambiance of that fine city and it's many blocks of "open space" and historic older homes. Don't forget to ride their marvelous billion-dollar 2.1 mile long 'People Mover' to your favorite downtown location inhabited by friendly citizens, fine restaurants, exquisite shopping and crowded, bustling streets - or even visit scenic nearby Hamtramck!

God's Country, that's for sure!!
