Gah! Anyone else hate where they live?

In all fairness I don't think that the OP is comparing Peterborough to Baghdad...he just hates it. That said, let's compare Detroit to Baghdad, may be more interesting.


Sad thing is, I see all the potential and WISH Detroit was otherwise. I still dump thousands of dollars in donations hoping it will help...

In complete honesty, I cannot say I love Detroit the way it is today, but I will always love it for the place it once was.
Motown!!! forever.
It breaks my heart to think about Detroit - I lived in one of its suburbs for 3 years, going to school. Wow, the musical creativity that still comes out of that place, out of all that misery and hopelessness!
The janitor at the school I was at used to carry a rifle in his trunk. And this wasn't yesterday either.
If it wasn't so dangerous to live there, I'd love to buy one of those grand homes built during the Golden Age of Motor City.

As for Baghdad, I'm willing to bet it *still* has way better food (and coffee) than all of Ontario put togther. Something about old towns...

I'm sure many of you have seen this photo essay of Detroit: Detroit in ruins: the photographs of Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre | feature | Art and design | The Observer

Make sure to look at the gallery of photos. Haunting and unbelievable.

I cry every time I see it!
Beautiful shots though. Sob.

If your at Big Bear, Arrowhead (east) or Henshaw (SE. I can't think of any others in the mountains and close to LA), isn't that more of a "get away" than Henderson?

Arrowhead area (I guess my 68 hours of work over the last four days is catching up with me...not SE, E of LA!). Actually, Henderson is a "getaway" from cabin fever!

Ah, love it up in the Arrowhead area, just don't get up there enough.

Ladies and gentlemen, starring Sean779 and porschefan: Babies on a Plane. Voice-over and cameo by Samuel L. Jackson.

Far worse than Snakes on a Plane. But that would be a five-minute movie at best, today.

One of the few advantages of modern-day air travel . . . The flight attendants will kick crying babies and their equally obnoxious parents off of the plane. If you can't or won't control your child, than leave it with a trusted relative back home before you get on the plane.

Damn. Those photos were truly tough to look through.
