There is one... next to Alter Rd. And ever wonder why Mack Ave is divided by a median with very few crosswalks from Cadieux to Moross? 3 guesses. The problem is that another wall will result in finger pointing and wild accusations from the broken side of the street. Excuses for poor behavior seem to pass for newsworthy events in Detroit. The cops do a good job. Support them. Thats the answer.   more ›

Its always sad when domestic issue arise, but it is a good lesson for everyone. Just because you are a woman doesn't mean you can use physical force against a man who is probably fully capable of defending himself. She should face the same penalty that a man would for assaulting his wife.   more ›

So the border patrol caught some illegals working on lakeshore. LOL. Do they notice the lawn crews? Or did that slip past their watch? I wish they would just let our local cops patrol for everything and stop the wasted money on green and white cars that drive in circles. My personal favorite is the woman peeing on someone's front porch. Now that puts the last three letters in "class".   more ›
