from Lakewood, Ohio, then from southern Michigan as well.
love the lakes there, and the countryside. it doesn’t have the majesty of the mountains, that I currently live in, but the land has it’s charms.
I have always avoided the the city of Detroit, however, since the 70s, except for an occassional concert, which were affordable at Cobo Hall... at least back then.
movie making is now mobile... I haven’t thouroughly investigated the issue back there.. they have lousy weather for 7 months a year, so I wonder if that has to have something to do with slowdown in movie work being filmed there.
Part of the reason for these “incentives” is the fact that dozens of other states are also using them to attract filmmakers.
I don’t like it but its how the states compete.
Its kinda like NASCAR. If a team comes up with a spoiler modification that gives them a .01 second edge and it passes NASCAR specs, next week every car on the track has the new spoiler.
If it were me, I would cut taxes for all businesses across the board and call it good.
Growing up walking through the neighbors corn, stalking deer with my 0.410 pistol (it was legal back then) while carrying my 12-guage long-barrel to knock down the geese. Then, mid-morning, hitting the lake to catch a limit of blue-gills for dinner.
What greater “outdoor” opportunity exists?
