I grew up in and around a very small town (Hanover MI) of about 350 people then. Now I live in a town less than a 3rd as big. I also like people but don't want to live with them jammed in all around me.
I go to Detroit to pimp conservatism to the folks. Being urban they'll always require more services but I point to the fact that I have free market choices of the services I need like garbage pick up. I also go as a means of providing them with an opportunity to see a real live tea partier.
The metropolis I call home now. My closest neighbor is about 25 yards away.
My brother owns 65 acres not too far from hanover. just west of pulaski, on 30 mile.
killed a few whitetails there over the years... :)
I lived in homer until I was relocated to the tuilp city in 1971. my parents, both sides, are all from springport/homer/albion area.
small world...we were born in the same building, as I recall..my grandparents are buried in albion cemetery, on the river, right up the road from there.
cascarelli’s in homer has the best pizza.
