Some pointers from a friend that worked WAI

[L-16B]

Yeah, you're doing this all wrong, kid.

What you do is you say, "Hey, do you want to go and catch a football game out in Ann Arbor?" Then she'll say, "Where?" because you guys are bumpkins and have never been to a civilized town in your lives (don't worry, I grew up in the same circumstances, but I got past it and so can you), and you'll say, "Ann Arbor, where the University of Michigan is."

And THEN she'll say, "Ugh, I'm NOT going to Detroit."

And then you give her the answer everyone from Michigan gives, "Oh no no no, Ann Arbor isn't anywhere near Detroit. It's a solid hour west of the city. Ann Arbor is a college town, and nothing like the rest of south east Michigan."

Get her there on Friday, take her downtown, grab lunch at Zingerman's, dinner at Grizzly Peak. Go to the game on Saturday. Get her drunk on amazing Michigan beer.

Sign a lease on Sunday.

That everyone at Skywest is scared of Detroit, or thinks Detroit is the entire state of Michigan, or that there aren't great places to live in Michigan, blows my mind. Actually, you know what? It doesn't. Because I'm from Michigan, and I live in Salt Lake City. I understand why the Zionists don't want to leave Utah, and are in fact afraid of any metro area that isn't the Salt Lake Valley. But your entire company is missing out in great beer, affordable living, fantastic football, and some of the best camping and hunting these United States have to offer.

The skiing, mountain biking and rock climbing is terrible, and doesn't exist in any quantifiable way. But if you've got more going on in your life (and I don't), then check out Ann Arbor. I lived 20 minutes west of the employee lot and sat reserve in my quiet suburban home.

@amorris311 and I drove to Ann Arbor to be creepsters and stare at girls to get us out of our crash pad in Romulus. We gave it two thumbs up

I've always said you can do everything you want from mountainbiking to skiing and even surfing at an OK level, but all together that adds up to a pretty great place to live.

For the 2 months out of the year it's not a solid sheet of ice

Well played, minus the last one. "Clinging to a piece of shipwreck debris in the Northern Atlantic" is not the sport for me.

We almost died too because people don't know what stop signs mean.

Not to mention trying to swim when you go in wearing that.

Still too cold. Any place that makes you spend 10 minutes covering every inch of exposed skin to go outside to have fun for a little while before you get cold anyway isn't for me.

It's on my to do list! Love the history of it. And was a good layover too!

I try to block out all the bad memories that year of being in purgatory/pinnacle

So there were lots of fat/old girls there?

Nice try, but we all know this wasn't taken in Michigan; there isn't a cloud in sight.

Attractiveness isn't socioeconomic, chief!

Scarlett Johansen in a beat up Pinto is still Scarlett Johansen.

What is ghetto to you? I hear people use this term a lot to describe person, places etc.
