Thank you. People outside of the state must think the whole place looks like Kuwait.
I would like to live on the western side of the state, but my most of my family is on the east side, and has been for over 100 years.
My late wife’s family lives in Holland (though they are still my in-laws as far as I am concerned) so I know how conservative the area is. I met her in Detroit while we were both attending Wayne St.
Living in Chicago I understand how easy it is to paint an entire city or state with misleading colors. I feel as safe in my neighborhood as I do in Holland and have no fear of even leaving a door unlocked if need be for a while.
