It's funny to read stuff mentioning both Erie and Detroit in the same paragraph. It's like my worlds are colliding. Anyways, I can say that living here in Detroit I can honestly say that if I had a choice, I'd be back in Erie. This place is horrible. As for Wayne State, is the de facto choice for Detroit residents --at least those who couldn't qualify or afford to go to U of M. Funny.

Living in the plains of Colorado also makes one yearn for Erie. The first gloomy, overcast and rainy day we had after moving back was so glorious.
