Hello Mr. Radio Dave and fellow Michiganders. I'm Laura from a Detroit Suburb.

I see lots of HI's and Hello's but lets try for topic. Like, what we like about Michigan.Or, what the heck, what we dislike about Michigan.

I like the change of seasons but HATE the LONG winters when its cold for 5 months.

I love having the lakes in all directions.I just wish Summer was a bit longer.

I've found people in MI are definately more friendly here than other states but I hate that so many are leaving because of our economy. Gov. Jennifer must find other industries to come here now that the Auto Industy is heading downward.

I'm sure the Soo is cold and miserable in the winter if you don't do the winter sports or activities but the summers must be gorgeous up there. Take the good with the bad I guess.

Well, I like the fudgie shops and the other little shops up there but I'm not into the bar scene either. Anything near the water works for me though. I bet Fall is gorgeous up there too.

I LOVE the weather here. Yes the long cold months would be nice if they were shorter. But, after 13 years in Florida I'll take the long cold. LOL! A little warm cider a fireplace and a sweet man will make me happy. drinker bigsmile

Lets see what is nice about Michigan, the lakes yes but jobs are gone, quite literally. So would the last one leaving Mich. please turn out the lights. One good thing we are the second highest taxed state next to California, but they need it out there for all the fruit and nuts. If we are loosing so many jobs why do they have to raise taxes on the rest of us? Won't it just drive people and jobs away?
As for the holidays I am stuffing myself with turkey. And have to work Those days. No complaint, Doctors police fire and nurses all have to work that day to, so I will be in good company.

All your points are good ones Dave. I just hope a smart company will swoop in and take up shop here, hire thousands of people to get our economic ball rolling again outside of the Auto Industry. We have great educated people here, good colleges, access to the rest of the world thru our waterways. Beautiful lakes, low air polution...Our seasons are nice, (winter is long but not always FREEZING), no earthquakes, mud slides, no fires that burn up hundreds of homes... no 100' temps, etc... Something has got to change soon, I just have to believe that.

Ya, Gov. J. Gran. isn't who I voted for. I wonder if a business man would have us in a better position right now, had DeVos won.
