LOL... classic!

My husband was born in Toledo and got the hell outta there the first chance he got. But growin' up, they'd go into Michigan 'cuz the drinking age was lower than Ohio's. He's told me what a dive Detroit is. Flew thru there once but never "did" the city. However, a couple years ago we went on vacation that took us into New Orleans. As a kid, we went there every year 'cuz there were races in nearby Gulfport we went to. Hubby had never been to NO before and as we're walkin' down in the French Quarter, he looks at me, points at all the trash and says, "Who ever said this place is THE place to come to? It's looks like a glorified Detroit."

I think we'll be going back to Toledo this summer to visit his elderly Mom and flights into Flint are way cheaper than both Detroit or Toledo. I've never been to Flint.... doesn't sound promising from what you all say.

Flint is a joke...and you'll spend more in gas driving from Flint to Toledo than you would save by flying there.

Flint isnt terrible but its nothing great at all. Detroit is a complete dump. Im usually there once a year for the auto show and that once a year is still more than enough.

I grew up in Ann Arbor, and the only reason anyone would ever go down into Toledo was to pass through on the way to Cedar Point.

Another vid.........This one is long and boring, but somehow addictive because of the utterly depressing scenery.

I'm from Saline.

And the only reason anyone went to Ohio was for cheap cigarettes.

Great town to grow up in 30 years ago. Mainly snobs, now. Family still lives there. So did you go to Huron, Pioneer, or Gabriel?

I really miss hanging out at Gallup Park.
