Hey DetroitPole, I'd like to ask you a question. Please answer honestly. Were you born and raised in the city of Detroit or did you move in from outside of the city proper?

You have never been nice to me, and personally attack me every time I post anything. Whatever I disclose you will likely use against me.

I live in Detroit. That is all you need to know.

I think you lived in the suburbs previously, and then moved to Detroit.

And you have the nerve to attack the Mayor for doing the same thing. Get off of your high horse.

While I think it is fair to criticize Bing for breaking the campaign promise, I also think that it is understandable why he is living in the mansion. First, the mansion must be maintained regardless. Second, most of the funds for the recent renovations have been raised privately. Third, the Manoogian family donated the mansion to the city specifically to be a residence for the mayor. Fourth, I think that Bing's campaign promise was probably partially motivated by the tarnished image the mansion receieved during Kilpatrick's administration. Now that the mansion has been renovated, I think that this is one way for the city to move forward.

Wow, I called that one from a mile away. You really do have it out for me. How about this instead - next time you think about asking or assuming something about my personal life [[and I'm the one with nerve?) - just go fuck yourself instead. What are you even doing here? You love the suburbs and hate Detroit. Great, you are absolutely entitled to.

For everyone else: I don't think the issue with most people is that the mayor moved to the city. I think the issue is that he moved and hasn't put any stakes down. He has been renting a condo and hanging on to his place in Franklin. I would want the mayor of all people to be a true believer in whatever city I lived in and want to really hunker down for the long haul, political office or not. That is how I feel, anyway.

I'm getting sick of this "typical Detroit fashion" crap, too. As if 900,000 people all think in lock-step. Then say anything about the suburbs and everyone gets their panties in a bunch. Isn't there anyone on this board anymore who even LIKES Detroit and Detroiters? And I mean today, not glory days nostalgia Detroit.

I hate to burst your bubble, but I don't have it out for you. I just call hypocritical BS when I see it. And looking at the history of your posts on various threads, you spew copius amounts of it laced with far too much profainity.

As for me hating Detroit, nothing could be further from the truth. But if it makes you feel better to say that, if you think it increases your vaunted "street cred", go ahead and thump your chest and scream from the mountaintops that you are a serious badass because you are keeping it real, you live in Detroit.

You are seriously entertaining, little guy. Please keep your posts coming.
