Given how much I hate pumpkin pie, I would LOVE to have a pecan pie instead.

I'm sure a lot of you guys knew Michigan was a big-ish player in the maple syrup game, but I did not.

I've read a little bit about the post-WWII period in Europe. Obviously nothing like in the US, because the war was fought there, and it wasn't fought here. That's why the US became the major global power in the first place.

But what I hadn't realized before i started reading about it was just how harsh the period 1945-1950 was in Germany. It was essentially a lawless wasteland where revenge murders were common and even the occasional pitched battle occurred, and now only in eastern Europe.

And if you were a German—hoo hoo hoooooo. You had major problems, especially if you were part of the siaspora that populated the countries Hitler took over in the attempt to germanize them (or Nazify them, if you prefer).

That's the backgrounding to this here map.

I like where I am at, so, green. I hear Des Moines is an up and coming, which I like, and NoVA could work as well. Heck, I could even be talked into going back to Columbus.

Now this one is more interesting. According to this, Macomb County is in the North East, Downriver is in the Mid Eas (along with Birmingham, and I don't mean Michigan), and the city of Detroit is smack on the black line dividing them.
