I'd be lying if I said I weren't jealous of the Purdue All-American Marching Band members going to the Motor City Bowl. Despite the moaning and groaning, they are still going to get the chance to put on a great show in front of an appreciative audience!
However, I just saw
this article about the murder rates in various cities around the country...and Detroit ranks #1.
"New York City, is one of its safest; with a murder rate of 7.3 per 100,000 people, it comes in at No. 50 on a list of the 72 American cities with a population over 250,000."
I know where I'll be spending my Christmas Break!
