Hello everyone! My name is Al, and I've been browsing your forum for two or three years now. I'm from a small town in the thumb, but was born in Detroit. My father is Detroit born and bred (7 mile and Livernois area I believe)and my mother is from Farmington Hills. I've learned a lot from you guys in the past couple of years, and I finally decided to join. I'm sure I will learn a ton more from you guys in the future. Hopefully i can contribute a little to the forum..I don't live in Detroit but I have always had a weird obsession with it so I know a fair share. Talk to you all soon. thanks, Al |

I certainly am no veteran around here, but I've been hanging around, bringing down the neighborhood, for a little while now, and I welcome both of you. Generate a thick skin. There are some very aggressive citizens in this on-line community. |

Welcome, Al. That 'weird obsession' is the Spirit of Detroit. You can be infected with it generationally, even if your parents bailed. Never doubt it, further you get from caring about the people and the city, the greater that internal nagging becomes! |

^^ "...even if your parents bailed." Nice one Gannon. So predictable. Didn't you recently declare that you'd be posting less due to some change in your mental health ? What happened ? Oh yeah...welcome to the forum Atothel and Sean. |

Heh, talk about predictable. I declared I'd be posting less because my mental health issues have been healed and I'm quite busy on various projects to make the city a better place and to put people to work. Shouldn't expect any different a reply from you, as you so boldly HIDE behind your anonymity. You must be very proud when I walk into the same room as you and treat you like I always have. So, ever consider why are you such an asshole? Hell, MY parents bailed. I'm not concerned with the lost generation(s) as much as I am anyone and everyone who cares about this city. Even YOUR bitter ass, if you can do some good here. Cheers! |

Lesson #2: good treads slightly more than occasionally degrade into a heated off topic pissing match. |

Hey, welcome to the forum. But, be advised, you probably should have titled your thread, "Hello, forum. Introducing myself." Or something like that. That way, you are guaranteed 10 or 20 posts before the obligatory threadjack. |
