No trees landed on my house and I'm not moving back to Detroit. Unless someone offers me a great job. :p

Haven't you heard? Ho' foods is coming! And Buffaloed Wild Things!
Lord No! There's more than enough Yankies here already! ;)
Infrastructure on the east side of Detroit? Last I looked, it was pretty well past its useful life -- as a generality.
On the other hand, nearly unlimited fresh water from Lake Huron is a really rare asset. Name one other city with a connection to one of the world's largest freshwater lakes upstream of virtually all industry.
Sandy was bad news, she really did some major damage. That was f...d up!
Sandy was one mean bitch.
My wife is named Sandy, and yes, I am afraid of her. Call me whipped, I can take it.
when do the "I got blown by Sandy" T-shirts come out?
You are exactly right jiminnm!!! Does this look like Nevada or Arizona Strong??? I took this picture in NEW MEXICO today!!!

that's lovely. I have only ever been to the far western border area of NM.
I've visited several times over the years and really liked it. I can't remember the overpass, but the view down to the Rio Grand is breath taking, literally.

Jim, when I drive to Detroit from my home in Las Vegas, I always take I-40 [[I hate that drive through eastern Colorado and Nebraska. Yuk.) and just love hitting the NM border. Eastern Arizona [[painted desert area) is nothing but flat, boring countryside for 200 miles, once you leave Flag. But NM is a pure delight for all....what, 360?....miles across 'er. Beautiful cliffs, buttes, and mesas all the way to the Texas panhandle. Well, then it gets boring again until Missouri. If I had to leave NV, NM would be my #2 choice for living.
Ray, any time you want a tour, let me know.
Sorry, but I can't do anything about the chain of billboards between Albuquerque and Santa Rosa.
For Cline's Corners? Aw, no big deal.
What struck me about Detroit weather was the high humidity; not as bad as Georgia's of Central Florida's but noticeable making summers seem hotter and winters colder. I prefer brisk 10 degree weather in Wisconsin to standing around in the slush, when it's 32 degrees, waiting for a bus in Detroit.
Unrelated but came across this. Someone posted this with the message: "Sorry for all the folks having trouble right now, but I thought this was pretty cute. I hate being so dependent on electricity." Come to think of it, I don't know of any Amish who bought into a flood plain. One of the comments to the photo was, " attitude dudes!!!!"http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...17442760_n.jpg
