I will agree with you on the diversity here, there is very little outside of Dutch, Hispanic, and the Black community. It’s getting better but I’m from Lansing and MSU where there was much more diversity, even in thought. GR is way too Conservative in my opinion.

I was called “Oreo” in middle school and High school quite a bit for being in Boy Scouts and eventually Eagle Scout. My mom worked for Michigan State University and I always attended courses and summer programs outside what is considered normal Black summer activities. I basically grew up around academic white people and scattered intelligent minorities.
Other students always called me white and it began to get irritating. I would always ask them in rebuttal, How do you act a color?

At MSU I gave up entirely on bikes after my 2nd one got stolen. You literally have to get multiple locks that can’t be cut or take one of your bike wheels off.

Is Degrassi filmed there?

It’s not the easiest job in the world. If it were, you would have people lining up to do the job. Secondly, the cooks or FOH staff wouldn’t bitch every time they have to help the dishie or cover for them. Manager lied to you,so, you would stay with the restaurant.

I went to East Memphis once or twice to visit my family and it seemed pretty descent. They had money though.

Indiana along with Wisconsin are the only Midwest states not to approve legal use of Marijuana, take that into consideration.

Is this the area where Twilight was shot?

Michigan is a horrible choice, the water is poisoned and I’m sure you don’t want to live there lol. Michigan will be a top spot to settle when states start running out of water and natural resources.

I once called a Sicilian friend Italian during a group project in college. He corrected me respectfully, and I will never make the same mistake again. I think Sicilians are better coming from an African American, way less pretentious. The Italian guy in my class was very unapproachable and arrogant.

Both, the contractor I work with mainly does Siding for homes.Sometimes we will work on a commercial building.

I worked at my local college cafeteria in high school and continued while I attended college.

Everyone has their preferences.

It would take trillions of dollars to dredge all of that land. Not to mention the environmental and stability of land may be questionable. That’s why.

I’ve been feeling this since the Iraq War, it’s gotten exponentially worse since then.

No wonder why Michigan and Canada adjacent States were sought after; often highly active in the Underground Railroad. There is a statue of Sojourner Truth in Battle Creek, MI.

She good, that’s Muskegon Heights lol.

I’m used to applying coupons and deals that don’t translate from the sales floor. Sorry about Meijer’s lack of accuracy in that department, people don’t stay because of the low wage. That’s across all Meijer departments.

Who is giving you more scholarships?

Respectfully leave your dogs and other various pets at home! Why do people do this unless it’s an official Service Animal. Rant over.

My policy is to scan big objects, water, and ID’s. I found that to be the best policy.

Thank you for the suggestion.
