Greetings All,

I've been checking out the site for a while now, and have even posted some stuff. Thought I should step in and introduce myself. I'm not big on self-gloss, so coming up with a nickname took some thinking. I've always been proud of growing up in the backyard of the automobile's birthplace. There's huge history here. I guess you'd have to be from Metro Detroit to understand the passion. It will always be home. Unless of course I'm filthy rich when I retire. I'm not holding my breath.

I've been smoking cigars for a couple of years now, and am really enjoying all that goes with it. It's whatever you want to make of it. I'm sure that you all know what I mean. As for the cigars themselves, I've found that I like a wide variety. If I had to pick two favorites (Cuban and Non Cuban), they would be the Juan Lopez Seleccion #2 and the Avo Signature or Domaine robustos. Okay, that was three. See what I mean?

I'm a huge sports fan, pulling of course for all of Detroit's teams. I've always been a big Red Sox fan, as well. When I get married (it's getting closer), she can decorate our home however she likes. But the autographed Ruth/ Ted Williams photograph stays put!!

Other than that, I hope everyone out there is having a great 2004. I'm not a real big "chat" or "forum" type, but as I said before, this is one that I've been using. I'm sure I'll be popping in frequently. It's a great source. Thanks again, everybody!

NO Way!!! I thought they usually picked sunny, safe, southern cities for that honor!

Maybe they thought that the likelihood of locals actually showing up for the game was low since Lions have NO chance of getting in!

Actually, it's the locals who held a gun to the NFL's head and got the Big Game. The Ford's (who own the Lions) built a gorgeous new stadium (it really is pretty cool), and asked to be put into the rotation. The rest of the auto lobby joined in for added muscle, and voile, Welcome to Detroit! Real people in the area think it's a joke. Personally, I think Detroit's a decent town and has been doing some great things to turn itself around (albiet our idiot mayor). But a Super Bowl Host City? :r

I gather you meant literally when you said hold a gun to their heads!

I've actually heard some good things about MC from a friend who lives there. I agree, a superbowl city? too funny!

Yes, it is safe with regards to tourists, because they are not preyed upon. They like to save the violence for the locals, which for the most part involve drug deals, etc. Lines of violence and demarcation are tracked with interest by local authorities. They can actually tell you what side of the street is safe, and what side is not. It is phenomenal amongst U.S. cities in that there are micro-zones of crime. So for stuff like SuperBowl, it is a great place.

Churchlady, try N'awlins for Halloween sometime. It is absolutely sinful! Nothing like a sinful night of debauchery in the French Quarter every now and then. :D
