oblong Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Some organizers wanted to do a "Spark in the park" at Hazel Park. Residents fought it and it was squashed. Now I'm not commenting on whether pot is good or bad or whatever.... but good for the residents of Hazel Park. I saw a few of the attorney organizers on TV lamenting the decision and I wanted them to be asked "Why don't you do this where you live? Have it in Northville or Birmingham or Bloomfield Hills.

chasfh Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 How about the city of Detroit? Do it at Belle Isle? Just throwing the idea out there, I have no skin in this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In true stoner fashion, The Greenhouse (and that same owner) still has its outlandish Christmas lights up in April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in HP for a couple years recently (2019-21), and you can’t throw a rock without hitting a dispensary there. I’m still in a couple community groups, and there was a lot of pushback and their city council denied the permit. They were expecting 10,000+ people and the council person I’m friends with said they are still open to holding a much scaled back version, but as it was they ultimately thought it was too large for a city the size of Hazel Park in terms of resources. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblong Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I just see the whole thing as a bunch of guys in suits and corporate people from the "boojie" suburbs (that's a term my wife and I use) getting rich off the lower income communities. Let those cities get the stigma and we'll get the money. We'll laugh at them. I'm not judging the use of it at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerbomb13 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Hazel Park isn’t as cheap as it once was! It’s become hip from all the people that want to live around Ferndale and Royal Oak but are priced out of those communities. There’s still a lot of the old guard though with the hipsters sprinkled in. I lived two blocks away from 8 Mile, and after my next door neighbor had her home burglarized I got the hell out there. My redneck neighbor across the street also said to my face “this is what happens when the (n-words) move in”, which didn’t help. I liked living next to 75 and 696 though because it felt like I was close to everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biden is having typical elderly cognitive slow down, but I see no signs of Dementia. Trump actually was given a dementia test, so we can assume that doctors thought he might be showing signs. I think his mental health problems and general unfitness are something other than dementia though. I do not know anyone in office who specifically has dementia, but there are several who lack either the intelligence or sanity or both to be fit for office. Since the only other defeated president still alive is Jimmy Carter, I will assume that he is your favorite defeated president. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday after a speech, Biden shook hands with the air and was lost leaving the stage. Its really just sad that his family would put him and the country in this position. As for Trump, his current cognitive skills don't matter because he is nothing more than a private citizen. Biden is the POTUS so its a big deal. Also, I don't know if Trump took a cognitive test or not but I do know Biden refuses and for good reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I don't follow the liberal handbook like everyone else here then you figure I'm trying to start a fight? I enjoy respectfully discussing and debating issues but since my views aren't from your handbook then respectfully doesn't happen much here. I'll just start agreeing with everything here so I don't hurt the delicate snowflake feelings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
