This map is great but it takes all the fun out of those, "I once knew a girl from Nantucket" limericks.

Back in grade school, our teacher had to hide the "J" encyclopedia from us because we sat around laughing at the map of Japan with Fukuoka, Fukahoma etc

Recently unearthed Pompeii Satellite Dish Network receiver. It was still tuned to the Discovery channel when found. Some alarmist rhetoric show about end of the world, cataclysm, apocalypse, yadda yadda yadda.

Goat or Wilfred?

Yea for smart asses!!!

I just had mayo on corn on the cob lately at a Puerto Rican restaurant and it was pretty good. Don't think I'll do melon though. It looks hideous.

No Craig, there's a river there followed by a different country.

Where else can you go south from the US and arrive in Canada?

OK, everybody say it with me in their best Homer voice, "Mmmmm, khak."

Holy crap we were just there a couple weeks ago! Their scaled down starship USS Riverside was unfortunately not there that day. The axle had broken on its trailer somewhere out on the road and it was being repaired. No serious damage to the ship I was told.

As noted already by mig, all caps is essential for and a standard for architectural and engineering documents. Seriously google, the world does not revolve around you.

I said Star of Bethlehem not Beef-lehem!

There's an old journalism saying, "If it bleeds, it leads." That tends too be the case with most coverage of Detroit. Honestly, 1/3 of the city is the burned out crack houses we expect to see, another 1/3 is average and uninteresting and 1/3 can hold it's own against most cities in terms of liveliness, architecture and character. Google street the Palmer Woods or Indian Village areas for some "cleaner" areas of the city. Don't look at the suburbs to see what the city is like.

The artsy music crowd is what I was a part of in the late 80s early 90s so that crowd is nothing new. Basically it was cheap and wide open then too. Old brick warehouses with a loft for dirt cheap. Those areas haven't really grown substantially though (that I know of) and I wouldn't expect any hipster apocalypse there.

The picture link has lots of pictures now. Somehow the thing fell over in practically one piece and all the windows are intact.
That's some kind of engineering! (or photoshopping)
