i realized i really like michigan after being in minnesota too. they rave about their abundance of lakes here and im just like NO NIGGA YOU AINT EVEN GOT A CLUE. I LOOK AT CANADA WHEN I LOOK ACROSS THE LAKE BACK HOME.
On the way home from chicago, I was surrounded by native chicago-ers on the bus, and we got to talking. Basically: Chicago beaches = littered with zillions of people taking up every square inch and dirty diapers, Michigan beach = clear water, sparse amounts of people, NATURE, real sand? (not including metro beach), Childhood in chicago = shopping, shopping, clubbing?, shopping, materialism. Childhood in Michigan = free to roam around, ride bikes, play in BACKYARD, enjoy being outside. Chicago = $900 to rent out a basement (affectionately called a garden level apartment) with 2 small ass windows equivalent to dungeous. No backyard, no front yard, lucky to have a potted plant on a balcony just so you can be close to aforementioned clubbing and shopping. Michigan = $900 for a 3 bedroom historic home backyard front yard garage driveway abundant garden, basement larger than a "garden level apartment", within walking distance to shopping, bars, etc
( ... )
People on the bus actually asked me what we wear out here- like to go "clubbing", and were terrified of arriving in Detroit. Didn't believe me that it wasn't THAT scary, and there's actually a lot of culture, and no we don't dress like Amish people?
