She decided to pay another unscheduled visit with two of her male companions which she owed money for drugs.
On your lakefront mansions comment, right, nothing changing there. The Art Van's who left for Oakland county years ago finally gave the house away for 3.8 when they were asking 16M. And then there is Bill Ford and family who now call Ann Arbor home. And let's not forget how many lakefront mansions have been torn down over the years and subdivided into smaller homes because no one can afford them. Other than that, nothing has changed much on the lakefront.
The schools in BH are the best in the region and improving not falling like in GP. They are diverse in student population and there is no issue or masked racial tension like what is happening in GP. Look at a town's schools. They are always the compass for the direction any town is headed.
