HAPPY NEW YEAR -- WELCOME 2006
Holidays were fun. Christmas in Detroit sounds like a bad Lifetime movie, but it was a most enjoyable visit and another place ventured.
Hamtramck - great food shopping, Polish bakery, Eastern market -- interesting places; lots of history, but the inner city -- so battered and beaten. A once elegant lady -- Detroit is a sad shadow of a former glorious and booming city. Half-hearted efforts to bounce back, they have built it -- but no one comes.. It needs the Gods of industry to smile once more over it's abandoned locales blessing its inhabitants with jobs and good fortune. Some how it just keeps missing its mark. Keep the faith - Motown, perhaps there is a new day dawning and the sun will again shine upon you.
Great hospitality extended by new friends. Rochester Hills - wow! Lovely houses, snow falling on Christmas night, outlining a charming brick facade with wreaths centered on a double-doored entrance -- a vision of a Christmas card in my mind's eye.
Thanks all for a special 2005 Holiday!
