That made me crack up....

Its funny that some cities will FIGHT the plans of building a walmart in their city.

If I had a personal website, the "stop the killing" billboard would be at the top of the main page. I mean, my masthead couldn't be "DRUDGE REPORT" because I'm not Matt Drudge. So, I'd have to come up with something else.

The latter is heavily favored by all the chowdah-eaters I know, especially those I met in my undergrad days at the University of Michigan.

Which unpronounceable NJ suburb would that be?
Hackingschnack?

Agreed.

My votes for Prettiest go to Ann Arbor, Traverse City, Holland and probably Marquette situated right on the lake in the U.P.

Grand Rapids is coming up and a great city too but it's not on my top 3 for prettiest cities.

Hehehe. How right your are.

It seems to me that often happened so that servants could live near by, but not too close ...

It's unfortunate but I'd have to agree that Flint is pretty ugly. Parts of Pontiac give it a run for it's money but... Eh, who are we kidding, there's a few in my opinion. Sad.

Romulus is not that pretty, either.
