Hell freezes over every year.
It's call Michigan.

If we have summer, we can't enjoy it because no matter where you are, less than 8 feet from you is some kind of construction.

If you like construction, you can't enjoy it because no matter when you live here, because of the lakes, weather is probably going to be snow.

h8 Michigan. Are mittens flammable?

Some are. But I hear state sized mittens are susceptible to nuclear fallout.

Indiana ftw. Purdue University.

I might be up in Michigan to snowboard in like 2 and a half weeks.

We got a couple of inches of snow in eastern Pennsylvania last night. Where is this global warming that people keep talking about?

Al Gore got into a fist fight with it in the Atlantic Ocean over the Summer.

I agree, Michigan weather sucks.

I rather like it. Only thing that sucks is waiting for the train and no bench seats available in the little wind protected area.

Yeap. Totally love Michigan weather.

We just recently got our first snow fall that Stayed not to long ago

I come up to Michigan a lot to see family in Tecumseh and Grass Lake (near Jackson).

Michigan weather is pretty -ty though.

Where the - do you live? It's been snowing for at least a month and a half, and sticking mostly.

Hell, it's snowing right now.

Quit your bitchin, tonight we got - 10 and snowfall, we are michiganders this - be shorts weather.

-10 is warm.

I think the high here today was -19? -18 maybe in some spots.

Everyone freaking lives in Michigan.
D:

I want to move, Michigan sucks.

It's true, everyone lives here.

Also, everyone wants to move.

Well, unless you live in Ann Arbor. That's a great place.

I miss A2.

Heh. We got snow (sort of) for the first time in a few years down here. Never stayed on the ground long, but we got a light coating on decks, plants, some cars, etc.

^ I say sort of because it's nothing compared to what you people get. It started as flurries, got a little stronger, then disappeared. Want to trade? It's been a while since I've seen real snowfall, and I wouldn't mind taking it off your hands for a week or two.

Not flammable.

But move-out-able

Leaving the glove is great..I moved out a little over a year ago!

Yay for Kentucky!



If you hate it as much as you say, stop complaining and work your way out.
You'll miss it...atleast a little.

Even I do...and I HATE snow..alot....alot

It's not -that- bad... it's just that so many other places are way better.



Did you live there?

Fifty degrees out last friday, then 3 degrees yesterday, I love living here.

Can we has Michigan meet soon please?

I'm down for a meet.

Woot! 2 people. Anyone else want one?

Id like to have something like 7-20 people

(if that many even play Achaea that live in/around Michigan)

Im sort of quiet so the more people there are the less attention is one me!

Where would it be at?

Ann Arbor? Eh? Ehhh?

I'm down for wherever

Ann Arbor is too far for me here in Grand Rapids.
I'm a poor college kid, gas doesn't come easily around here.

Unless I eat beans. zing

Bump, come oonnnnn guys let's get something going

I got a job at craig's cruisers. The go karts are the shiznay. You should all go ride them, and play laser tag, oh and mini-golf. Y'know, CC is just the shiznay all around.

PLUS.. my craigs cruisers is getting the __FIRST__ coin operated Guitar Hero machine in the country.

I'm excited.

Holy -, you live in Grand Rapids. I could make that trip.

Who all wants to go go-karting?

It's actually a lot more complicated to operate (not drive) those Go-Karts than it looks.
It takes 5 people on a busy day, (two minimum).

I'm actually going to be around GR/Grand Valley this weekend. If anyone else is around, PM me.

I'm likely going to Michigan for grad school. So. Someone tell me about Ann Arbor.

Too bad I saw this too late. I live like 5 minutes away from GVSU.

Ann Arbor kicks some pretty decent ass. It achieves the 'melting pot' status and the average citizen makes 40k+ a year. Because of this you get a real nice mixture of people without many bad apples.

What are you going to grad school for? What kind of interests do you have?

Going for an MS in Human-Computer Interaction.

I like parks and lakes. Shopping. Theater shows when I remember I like them. Museums and old stuff. Call me boring, but I like going out during the day more than at night, so I'm less interested in nightlife, though I wouldn't like it very dead at night either.

Oh... this is important to my survival... know if there are Asian grocery stores about?

Right now, though, I'm more concerned about housing... would you recommend having a car, or is it pretty easy to get to places walking/busing? I'm thinking that if I had one, I could live further from campus (cheaper rent!), but not sure parking and gas would be worth it.

If there's one thing I'll give Michigan: it is the single most underrated state for wildlife, camping, biking, etc. Ton's of outdoor activities year round. Ann Arbor has some decent museums, Detroit does as well. I'd say Ann Arbor's general nightlife is less flashy and more pub-ish, but I am the kind of person who tends to avoid raves, techno halls, or whatever you kids call it now days.

There are tons of Asian stores in Ann Arbor. Several right downtown.

I'd recommend living off campus. Rent is cheaper, you can generally walk to downtown with no problem, and most apartments here give free parking. As a student you get a cheap parking pass on campus. I'd also recommend having a car because a lot of activities or just general life will require driving. Sadly the Motor City has crappy public transport and is sprawled out over several counties.

What public transportation?
You're funny.

On a more serious note: If you live in Michigan, get a car, with salt-resistant paint. <--I actually have no idea if that is real or not.

i said the same thing. Detroit Metro, pretty much all of Michigan, has bad public transport. The only exception is Ann Arbor's local SMART. The bad thing about them is they service such a small area it makes it pointless for anything outside of the city.

Sounds good.



I'm saved!





Ok, car is good. I don't know anything about salt-resistant paint either... :/

Thanks for the recommendations.

Only reason I say salt resistant is because:
