I grew up in shields just outside of Saginaw. Where in Saginaw do you work? I actually live between midland and freeland, but no one usually knows where freeland is.

Well, my cousin passed away suddenly in October of last year, so I came out for her funeral. The last time I was out before that was when her father passed away some 16 years or so ago, so not very often.

Seems to be a few of you in the Tri Cities area up there. Originally from Detroit but went to school up at SVSU. Now down in southern MI between Coldwater and Sturgis. We might have to take up a collection and send some Vernors to Country Mouse out there in LA LA land!!!

LMBO!

Nice, still in MI though... Awesome! I really like Michigan. I have lived here all my adult life. I love all the seasons. Last few years the snow seasons has not been living up to the Michigan's notorious rep.

Well, I'm sorry to hear about the lost in your family... Hopefully Michigan will attract you with our scenic views and good food.

I like it, it's 30 minutes or less, gives me a chance to detach from the day.

I totally understand about being able to detach from the day. I work in Saginaw and live in Burton just on the east edge of Flint... I have a 35 to 40 minute commute depending on how heavy my foot gets, LOL!
