Everything Michigan.... - The DIS Discussion Forums

I've noticed lately that there are a lot of Michiganders and Michigeese on the DIS. This is a place to talk about all things Michigan. The economy, Detroit, Kwame, Granholm, Favorite Places, etc...

If you plan on attending the DIS meet, pm me or post to the thread and I will add you to the list.

The new temp mayor Ken Cockrel--I hope he does as much as possible in his short time as mayor to straighten up Detroit.

I can't believe all the money they are going to waste with 2 primaries and 2 elections over the next 13 1/2 months.

They should let Cockrel stay in that position until next November, they'd save $3million in a city that is already in a $50+ million deficit. And to put Monica Conyers in charge of the Council!?!?

I hope Freeman Hendricks runs again, I'd like to see him win.

Dave Bing has decided to run for mayor. A very classy guy.

I just looked that up, here is some background (for those like me who didn't know who he is) on him from the freep:

By looking at that article, he's already proven he can run a business, maybe he could shape up Detroit too.

Im a part time michigander! I live there when I visit my mom. Anyone heard of menominee?

*Fantasia* · 01-18-2009, 09:38 PM

i got the 40% discount postcard. can't use it.. those dates will collide with the children's school schedule. i should just give them a call and tell them that my children are not on school vacation during those dates given.. "so what can you do for me?" or maybe i should just tell them to stop sending me postcards until they can give me dates when me and the children can actually go without interrupting their studies.

WINTER Poem

It's winter in MICHIGAN
And the gentle breezes blow
Forty miles an hour
At five below.

Oh, how I love MICHIGAN
When the snow's up to your butt
You take a breath of winter
And your nose gets frozen shut.

Yes, the weather here is wonderful
So I guess I'll hang around
I could never leave Michigan
I'm frozen to the ground!

S.C. I love your poem! I'd laugh but my face is frozen.

Another thing, does anyone notice the weather guys (channel 2, 4 and 7) never have the same exact forecast. I can't stand channel 7! Dave Rexroth likes to scare you! Even my friends notice! He always blows up the weather to make it worse than it will be! The other channel 7 weather guys- Jeremy and Sean are following Dave's antics too. The only good one on channel 7 is Jerry Hodak. Anyways, I don't watch channel 7 in the mornings anymore due to Dave. I've switched to channel 4. Now it seems like Guy Gordon tries to make the weather scary and he's not the meterologist. I'm not liking Andrew Humphrey (channel 4) on the weekends either. He's never accurate and likes to scare you too. I do like channel 2 - Rich Luterman at 10:00. He's pretty nice and not so scary like the others. What news channel do you watch?

I don't watch any of them.. I call them the most inaccurate forcasters out there.
