If you knew me in real life, you'd know that I was pretty openminded and I have to listen to everyone's points of view. For the most part, I keep my mouth shut as to not have to debate with everyone because it can become tiring. But for now, it's fun.

It's the internet.

As I write most of this stuff, I am laughing my rear off as opposed to getting upset. It is amazing to see you guys all see my point of view now, though. So I guess my "closemindedness" worked because most of the time people that I come across in this town are very pigheaded without knowing their facts.

Just see me as Keith Olbermann to your Bill O'RLY? (That was written on purpose, for those of you keeping count.)

Now that THAT is out of the way... the friendliness can begin.

And I actually saw Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 for the first time about a month ago. So I am not a Moore Lover who was there opening night. Surprised?

WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The name actually is a song title from a band called "Q and Not U."

I take it more as loving one's home. I love living here sometimes, and then other days I loathe it, but I'm sure everyone feels that way wherever they are.

Post Weheart...

I share your sentiment. I love my hometown of Detroit but I realize that it may not be the best most welcoming place in the world. But then I say who cares! DETROIT WHAT!?!?!?

This is what happens with trickle down economics and outsourcing...

Spirit of Detroit in front of city hall...


20 foot long Joe Louis bronze fist!



Abandoned houses are a common sight in Detroit...



Abandoned factories too. It's sad. What once was, is no more...






They still love America even with all this despair...





Detroit in it's hay day...

Cool pics! Thanks for sharing.

Couple comments:

1. I LOVE the Joe Louis Fist!
2. Is that Randy Peterson in the Budweiser billboard?
3. Did Michael Boettcher design that Budweiser billboard (missing half of logo)?


Weheartourhive_ Thanks for explaining the inspiration for your username. I've been meaning to ask. I'll have to look up Q and Not U.

The Joe Louis fist...

It's a symbol of the strength of our city despite being forsaken by all. America would not be as storng if it wasn't for Detroit. These are pics of the original Model-T plant.

Hmmm... just how open minded are we talking here?

Let's hear some examples.
