Now I'm a little further north like you, but I'm around Utica. To those not from around here, Warren is the suburb directly north of Detroit, with 8 mile (like the movie) separating them. Yep, Eminem grew up right around the block from me, but I'm quite a few years older. Kid Rock was more around my time. Interesting note about 8 mile today. I just had to drive down it the other day. There are around 50 Pot stores lining 8 mile, because none of the suburbs will allow a pot store in their city. It's crazy seeing all those "clinics" lining the road. HEY NEIGHBOR!!!! Getting ready to drive through Utica in an hour or two!!! (Heading to Gibralter to get my ring fixed), As for 8 mile, you must be referring to The House of Dank, King Seaweed, etc, lmao! There used to be one in Pontiac, Sky High, but Oakland County was having none of that. They continually raided them until they finally forced them to close. I don't personally "partake" because it just doesn't agree with me, but know a lot of people with their med cards. Oakland County has made it their mission to make sure the evil plant (haha) doesn't get sold legally in their county!! lol! Anyway, I'll be sure to wave as we drive through Utica!!! ETA: I lived in Warren right across the street from where they filmed part of 8 mile, it was such a pain in the butt!

MMB Jameson Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I am a new user to the SL forums but definitely not a new user to SL. Sioux Falls, South Dakota here.

Rolig Loon Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) I have been working down my bucket list of places that I have always wanted to visit. Every time I visit one of them, I come back thinking how great it might have been to move there when I was younger. And then I look around here and realize that I am already living in the best place.

I know some people are not so fortunate to live somewhere they love. But I think a lot of us are. And not just because of the scenery, or the politics, or cultural opportunities etc., but the people. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I truly do love where I am now, both for its physical beauty and for its culture and people. I feel more at peace here and more in sync with my neighbors than I have been in any of the other communities I have lived in around the US. Still, I worry increasingly about living in a bubble. I find myself saying inside my head that, "I'm glad I don't live where I have to deal with heat/earthquakes/drought/poverty/crime/people of the "other political persuasion ...."., and yet some of those very factors are things I found compelling or at least more tolerable when I was 40 years younger (well, not crime ... ). I can no longer imagine moving to some parts of my own country where I once looked eagerly for job opportunities. At one time, I thought seriously of emigrating to (or at least living for a few years in) Scandinavia or the UK, but I am content simply to visit those places now. I do love where I am, but I think maybe I am getting stodgy. Maybe in my next life .... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolig Loon Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 @Aislin Ceawlin LOL. That cartoon reminds me of two that my mother had on her refrigerator for years. One had the caption "I love humanity. It's people I can't stand" and the other simply said, "Other people are no damn good." If it hadn't been for her many good deeds to family and community, Mom could have been a good misanthrope. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
