I’m from Monroe County, not the city proper, but to his Western Wayne County ears I have (had) an accent—speak very fast and run my words together.
Do you have a Monroe County (Monroe) accent? How do you like Arizona?

I don’t have an accent, but the rest of the country sure does. After living 63 years in Monroe, the winters started becoming a nuisance. Now instead of being confined to indoors for 6 months in Michigan due to the cold and snow, I am now confined to the indoors in Arizona for 6 months due to the heat. I guess the plus is I don’t have to shovel the sunshine and I get to see my 2 granddaughters (5& 7) almost every day.
