Every time I consider going to the Santa Fe Opera, she opens her mouth. Thus, fun things keep getting done....

You can get a house here for around $60,000 if you look for it.

There's no way you'd be nominated as cultural ambassador for Detriot now!

That's funny! Though to be fair there are some nice areas around Detroit like Farmington Hill's and Royal Oak etc.

I have heard houses along 8mile are pretty reasonably priced though.

Detroit, yep know it well. How is the Renaissance Building nowadays? Last time I was there they had torn out the great restaurent at the top, and GM had taken over the place. I used to have a girlfriend in Westland, and visited the city quite often. My famiyl live just across the river from you in Windsor, my Aunt, Cousin and her kids.

Bloody cold in winter though, glad I live here in the sunshine state.
