    Also: Detroit is hosting the Final Four this year. And it has casinos. NCAA + gambling = not misery.

    Do not underestimate the power of the Red Wings. Just looking into Nick Lidstrom's dreamy blue eyes can...

    Chicago? Chicago?


    Michigan residents eagerly leave the state to go to Chicago. Nobody gets excited about going to Detroit.

    i feel like my town, new orleans, was disqualified on a technicality due to not quite making the population mark. although we did win the crown for most dangerous city, so i guess we can be demure and bow out of the most miserable pageant.


    plus, it's carnival, so fuck all you miserable towns, we're gonna be drunk in the streets for the next three weeks.

    @southernbitch:


    I took a walk through the lower 9th last year. Apart from the fact it looks like the place was nuked, I felt totally safe. So what gives?

    @AJB_: there aren't really a lot of people in the lower nine anymore.


    now, if you said you walked around central city and felt totally safe, i'd call some serious bullshit on that statement.

    @Back to Bristol Cities: "Property owners unable to sell in the rapidly declining Detroit city housing market would use this night as an excuse to burn down their homes to collect insurance money. These incidents were blamed on Devil's Night hooligans, greatly adding to the notoriety of the night."


    Who wrote that? Coleman Young? WTF?

    Evaluating quality of life based on local taxes is just silly. New Hampshire and Delaware are both sans sales tax, yet both pretty much suck compared to Maryland and Vermont.

    I'll trade you one quarterback controversy between Kyle Orton and Rex Grossman for your Kwame Kilpatrick and a SEXY text message to be named later.

    I think Detroit should just go rape Grand Rapids to prove a point now.

    When choosing where to live the first thing I ask myself is always, "How what part of a dime am I willing to give to the government when I buy a candy bar?"
