Grew up listening to Bob Seeger playing at area high schools.

I grew up in Warren until 7th grade...then Birmingham. Had/have lots of Polish relatives in St. Clair Shores...and Bob Seeger...geesh....People can't believe I used to pay 25 cents to go to dances where he was play at local at "Teen Centers"!!!!

Also saw the Beatles during their first American tour at Cobo Hall (I was in 6th grade!). Couldn't hear one single song with everyone screaming (including me LOL!)

Always said Northern Michigan was "Gods Country"...but guess not compared to Colorado!

Warren Huh. I had some real good friends that lived two blocks East of 9 mile and Vandyke. Yes folks it is one mile north of the same 8 Mile they made a dumb movie about.

After I left active duty I moved to Roseville around 12 and Gratiot. I worked at the Ford Axle plant in Sterling Heights.

When Carter was in office and mortgage rates were around 14% and lines to get gas were a mile long and the country was torn up with run away inflation and layoffs every where..(Oh I forget we're not suppose to bring up these kind of memories because we are now experiencing the worst economy in our nation's history)I got layed off for six months and decided to move to Colorado.

I go back to visit, but I don't stay long.

ps Just think if you live in the Upper Peninsula would you be a Yooping Freeper or a Freeping Yooper?
