Born in Munising, Michigan. Live in Elkhart, Indiana
February 11th, 2020 at 12:19 AM ^
Goshen here!
February 11th, 2020 at 8:10 AM ^
Grew up in SW Michigan but now in Mishawaka, IN about 10 minutes from ND. I prefer the 3 hour drive to Ann Arbor rather than drive 5 minutes to hell.
February 11th, 2020 at 12:38 PM ^
Yeah, Benton Harbor here (now Far South Side Chicago). I dutifully toe the company line and say all the right things about hating the Buckeyes, but in my vitriolic heart of hearts, it's all about ND. I suspect that's widely endemic to those of us from "Michiana." Sure, I want to beat OSU, but really, this past season was bliss for me. Can't help it. Still smiling. The year before, it was over after game 1.

I call Middlebury (IN), one of the most delightful, idyllic All-American small towns, my home town...a wonderful, wonderful place to spend ones childhood. We moved to Pinckney going into HS-hence our family converted to fans of the U of M...then back to Goshen. A short stint in Americus, GA then the Indianapolis area for about 15 years. We now live in the Newton/Hesston, KS area-will leave as soon as we can...must be here for family reasons...6 1/2 years to go-counting the seconds.
February 11th, 2020 at 9:34 AM ^
Grand Marais, went to college in Goshen. Got the hell out of there as soon as I could. No offense to Goshen or Elkhart County but I’m not sure how to finish this sentence.

My hometown Belding is pretty farmy.
February 10th, 2020 at 11:39 PM ^
Spent 18 long years in the place Alex Kotlowitz wrote about in "The Other Side of the River." Have lived in D.C., Baltimore, Dayton, Oxford, London, Canterbury, Heidelberg, Aix-en-Provence, San Francisco, Los Angeles, three places in Colorado (total of 15 years), and the last ten years in far northern California.
Well, you asked...
February 11th, 2020 at 1:14 AM ^
That Kotlowitz book is riveting (as is all of his work). Almost moved there as a kid but my Dad turned down the job to keep us in Ypsi... happy he did.
February 11th, 2020 at 1:40 PM ^
I was a senior in high school when Eric McGinnis was murdered. Knew several people in the book (not Eric). It's funny because a few years later, I'm bellied up at the Touchdown Cafe (nna the Blue Leprechaun, I think), and Michael Rosenpenis comes in a sits next to me. We chatted for a bit about writing, and I was telling him about the Benton Harbor/St. Joe dichotomy, crazy stuff that happened there, and how someone should really write about book about it. He was so smug and dismissive.
February 10th, 2020 at 11:40 PM ^
From Bloomfield Hills but the military sent me to DC, HI, TX, and shit over the ocean.
Now I’m in PA, but have my eye on that girl to my East (MI)
February 10th, 2020 at 11:48 PM ^
Wouldn’t she be west...
February 11th, 2020 at 12:01 AM ^
I’m in PA? So unless she’s in NY, I don’t get it
February 11th, 2020 at 12:06 AM ^
I'm confused...
February 11th, 2020 at 12:17 AM ^
Pretty sure he means you could go West and still reach Michigan?
February 11th, 2020 at 2:04 AM ^
Yes, confused. Not sure what he has his eye on, but it's not who or what he thinks it is.
If he has any hope of actually locating 'that girl,' seems like he's going to need to get a handle on some minor directional details.
February 11th, 2020 at 9:21 AM ^
Maybe he means he wants to take the long road.
February 10th, 2020 at 11:41 PM ^
Grew up in warren/troy, went to UM for college and moved to Manhattan (NYC) afterwards.
February 10th, 2020 at 11:42 PM ^
Indianapolis originally. I moved to Orange County, California 8 years ago and don’t plan on leaving. I’ve been bouncing around Anaheim, Costa Mesa, now Aliso Viejo/Laguna Hills area. I’m not sure which city I’ll end up retiring in but it’ll be in Orange County.
