SF, Beantown, NYC...i've lived in all of them. they are all overrated. our biggest problem as Detroiters is that we believe the marketing (through TV, film, radio, etc.) of other cities with being cynical of our own hometown. In the end...Detroit has a unique heritage and actually deals with the issues of American life in a way that other places don't. the issue of race in SF is a non-issue: black people don't live there. Poverty...yeah right. Keep it real. Make a difference. Come on back to Motown. come back to Detroit.

I understand what you are getting at - it totally fits who you are, and what you do in life. While your presence will be missed here, I am glad that you have the freedom and the guts to take it by the horns out there in CA. Not to mention the utterly dismal atmosphere this state has of late - while the economy seems to be on the upswing in almost all others. Michigan geeks will always miss you, and you always know you have peeps back here to call on, if needed. -b Thanks for taking the time to write that response to me, John.

I used to come to SF often for my work, so moving here was a very slippery transition; rather than a "move", i feel like i just swapped the time chunks i spend that i spend here vs. in detroit :-) I like SF a lot. amazingly different than detroit in some ways — the same in a few other ways. but someplace new and dense with lots of old and new mashed together is always great, no matter where it is.
