    Geez.

    No one is forcing you to go there. If you can't enjoy yourself without stuffing your face go elsewhere. Believe it or not plenty of bars do quite well financially without dealing with the...

    The 'wimpy' team they will play would be Stanford. Decidedly not wimpy. In fact, they are in many ways a mirror image of MSU. The Rose Bowl should be an old school display of smash mouth, physical,...

    Yep. Its a tax sale nothing more/nothing less. I'm rooting for the third place guy. Hults might come up with the money and might secure the property and even clean it up a bit but I have little faith...

    You pointed out the major difference. Federal law precludes discharging as I understand it federally backed student loans. And as I understand it they will take your social security at the other end...

    Moore was a guest speaker for one of my classes at MSU right after Roger & Me came out. Take it for what it is worth I enjoyed the movie alot more than anything he said to our class.

    She might want to look up the definition of automatic stay. But then again I'd hazard a wild guess that the publicity from issuing meaningless orders is worth a few votes during her next election...

    That's not correct. Orr was not the first. The Jefferson County, Alabama case put every creditor on notice that Full Faith and Credit may not mean what they always assumed it meant....

    Northbridge obviously had the advantage of being built after 900 North and Water Tower Place which IMO is why it is decidedly not vertical. When I lived in Chicago in the Mid 90's new retail...

    Duggan is a pretty simple name but I'd still expect some ballots to be disqualified.

    I live pretty far from Detroit these days -- Alaska. So I have first hand experience with a high profile...

    Bham, My experience from twenty-five years ago mirrors yours. About forty percent of my graduating class [[approximately 120 of us) attended either UM or MSU straight out of high school. I was...

    I don't see anyone saying that and really meaning it. It's really a question of whether write-in votes would count. IMO Barrow is jumping the gun and probably has no standing to challenge anything...

    The Embarcadero in San Francisco was removed though it took an earthquake. The Alaskan Way Viaduct on the water in Seattle [[also earthquake damaged)is currently being replaced with a tunnel. I think...

    I believe Gilmore was president of Upjohn and his family owned a department store in either Battle Creek or Kalamazoo. He didn't set out to start a museum he collected cars as a hobby and it just...

    Nice try but people would still be shooting each other over arguments related to coke, meth, heroin and pills. Legalizing pot [[which is fine with me) probably doesn't make a dent in the homicide...

    Last time I checked Gilbert owned the Cavaliers. Even though they suck [[about as much as the Pistons) you do still count them as a sports team don't you?

    I suppose maybe he put an offer on...

    Whether you like Gilbert or not it is pretty clear that when he buys building he puts it to use. For example, some of the tenant announcements today were for one of his Woodward Buildings on the ...

    You might want to read the details its much more than just a market. Catering, prepared foods, full bar, outside seating and while they don't mention it a delivery service. It's exactly what you want...

    Well Detroit still had around a million residents and a black middle class. And an official unemployment rate only a little north of 10%. Sounds like those were the golden years by comparison.

    We can play smoke and mirrors all day. For example, Miami's MSA runs all the way north to West Palm.

    One thing you cannot ignore is that the Detroit MSA/CSA is experiencing zero growth and is...

    You do know I was poking fun at the blame this or that crowd. BTW: pretty much my mom's entire family [[they live in West Tennessee) switched parties in the late 70's early 80's.:p

    In all fairness to Republicans, Alabama was run by Democrats for most of the last one hundred and forty years [[post reconstruction). Not that we should let facts get in the way of our fun. I do think...

    Obviously, quite a few people are blinded by their hate of LBP or simply lack basic understanding of how fault is determined.

    Cite me any statistics that demonstrate simply locking up more people will solve the problem. Michigan has gone from having under 10,000 people incarcerated in the early 70's to in excess of 50,000...

    Don't forget the City of Los Angeles which experienced rapid growth in the first half of the 20th century going from 100k residents in 1900 to 1.9M by 1950.
