Wease Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I would say roaches are not very common in more northern areas of the U.S. But down south, they breed like no tomorrow. When I was in the Air Force in Mississippi, you'd walk out of the barracks at night and see a bunch of them on the sides of the brick buildings. Big ones, too. I can count the number of times on one hand I've actually seen a cockroach in Ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturg1647545502 Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 you have to remember with these online hotel deal sites they are bargaining with hotels that have empty rooms;they might have have empty rooms for a reason. We had a similar run in with a hotel in denver where they were closing and leveling it the day after we left. We still use the the sites, but we check the actual hotel ratings before we pull the trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Hater!!!!! lol I lived in Flint for school from 2000-2005.

Patterson Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 God hates Michigan. True story. So much, he used up all his material on them and moved on to Cleveland. Next is Dayton, Cincy, Toledo, and then out west to finish off California. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTHER91 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Being from The UP I can tell you the closer you get to Ohio the worse it gets.. The Marriott is Livonia is where we always stay when we go to the auto show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Don't get me started on Dearborn. I have to unfortunately support some insurance agents there and they are always douche bags. I thought New York agents were pushy and aggressive but Dearborn is worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOPR Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Yea. wont catch me down there with a family at night. At least with out a gun. Now flint about 10 years ago you could go out to the "cruse" and be out all night with a bunch of cool ppl with some fast bad ass cars. now after the FF movies which i do enjoy dont get me wrong. It is all fucked up now and you have drug deals underage kids drinking stabbings and shootings. so now you wont catch me there either with out at least 2 guns. there is a reason Flint is now rated the #1 worst place to live. Detroit used to be #1. hence me saying there is worse. Good job on the reporting that hotel wish your family the best in not catching anything! I lived in Flint for 4 years; it's a total shit hole but it's really not that dangerous in most areas. The places that are dangerous you wouldn't want to visit anyway.

NOPR Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 As bad as it was then, I hear it's worse now. It's not. The worse that thing that happened while I was there was a few people mugged when walking around in the middle of the night. And cars get broken into. The same shit that happens on OSU campus. On the bright side, the police are so busy with real criminals that you can literally do whatever you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last school term at Kettering there were 3 freshman walking back to the dorms at night. They were stopped and robbed at gun point. When the students only had a couple bucks cash on them the guy got mad and pistol whipped them in the face. Still sounds pretty violent to me.

Right, but I could also tell you ten similar stories from OSU campus. I'm not saying nothing bad happens, but for the most part the frequency and severity gets greatly exaggerated, and it's not that much worse than a lot of other big schools.

Mallard Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 NOPR where in Flint did you live? What bars did you go to? I spent a lot of time in Flint and at OSU and I must say my experience on OSU's campus doesn't even compare to the stuff I saw in Flint. To keep this on the subject of Dearborn; TLC has a new reality show about being a muslum in America where they follow 5 family's in Dearborn.

To keep this on the subject of Dearborn; TLC has a new reality show about being a muslum in America where they follow 5 family's in Dearborn. I lived at the corner of Dupont and Flushing. We mostly went to Rube's, the Torch, or Churchill's. I do know a guy that got mugged walking to Rubes, but I also read about shit like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnlREKXll6c at OSU. Again, it's not like Flint is a great, safe place to be I just think it gets exaggerated a lot. I also think it has gotten a lot better as time has gone on, at least close to the school. but anyway, Fun Fact: Dearborn has the second largest Arab population outside of the Middle East.

Doug1647545489 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Never felt scared or threatened when I live in MI. Only thing I hated was the winter and the attitude of a lot of the people that lived there. I do miss cruising up and down Woodward on a nice summer night.
