Start communicating
Hello_Detroit
So I recently moved to West Bloomfields from Chicago=(?.it is definitely a big change for me. My experience in Detroit has so far been 50/50 both good and bad=). I must admit the weird Michigan turns are a bit annoying:) and not having any friends here is definitely hard. Well there are quite a few villages on naseeb for all the Chicagoens but none for the Detroit/Michigan naseebers. How weird is it that a Chicago native is creating one=)
Well, I hope this will be a fun village for everyone in Detroit/Michigan area or beyond to post up coming events, exchange ideas or just express your opinions=)
Welcome to our village?..

has added a new journalI thought it would be good to have one in Htown and finally meet some old friends or new friends might end up with a friendship for lifetime or great memories Well a few things to do great places to shop like the Galleria, Rice Village, seven more malls to choose from or other shops around the city. Tons of places to eat with all types of Restaurants like Mexican, Indian, Asian, Sushi to name a few but BAR B Q and Crawfish or Seafood is few of the best. A tour around cities sites or just catch a Houston Rockets Game at Toyota which a right next to Hiltons America, Discovery Green Park and Minute Maid Park where the Houston Astros play all located in Downtown Houston, great museums, parks and the one of worlds biggest Medical Center is near by. I am thinking of having this meet up like early to mid March the weather is good but for now this is just a start up phase and nothing is set :)
The Dates and Times could change, I made this event just to see who interested, depends on how many people do come I will arrange transportation and hotel that is why such a advance notice so everything organized and goes smoothly. This is research only and nothing is set in stone. Maybe I can pull of a few surprises who knows :)

has added a new journalI am moving to the Detroit area in August. I am thinking about buying. I will be working downtown so I am thinking about buying in the Grosse Pointes. Any suggestions? I have family in Bloomfield Hills and Troy but I hear that the commute to downtown from these burns can be a pain.
My concern is buying and then having trouble selling in case I end up moving in a couple of years. I welcome any comments on areas I should look into and if I should even consider the Grosse Pointe area.

True, I wouldn't suggest to buy at this time if you have not plans to live in Detroit or Michigan for at least 5 - 7 yrs.
