so yeah, a truck blew up outside my house

Tikker · Post by **Tikker** » Sat Jan 07, 2006 1:19 am

it's just about midnight, we're drifting off to sleep watching a movie and all of a sudden there's a big bang, and the house kind of shakes a bit

now, we live semi close to the train tracks, so having that kind of sound, and the house shake a bit isn't particularly new

but it came from the wrong direction, and just felt wrong

it also woke up the baby, which trains never do

anyhoo, I jumped up and looked out the window

holy fireball batman

about 6 houses south of us, there's a vehicle just blazing away

amazingly, the firetruck was there in UNDER 4 minutes (which was crazy)

You're obviously from the wrong side of the tracks.

I live on the other side of your railroad tracks, and my cardboard hardly moved. Earl complained a bit, but heck he always is.

weird. I"ve had many weird things happen in front of my house. my parents' house that is.

the weirdest one was when I was getting into my car to leave when an SUV came through the yard, rolled over our chain-link fence and then two cops flew up behind them and chased them on foot through our back yard.

the two kids stole their mother's vehicle. :rofl:

It was probably the Canadian mafia, firebombing a rival mob bosses truck over counterfiet ham.

My uncle had a high speed chase end up in the entrance to his cellar. Seeing pictures of the car wedged into the concrete was very Ccc.

That was one of the highlights of my trip through Michigan too...so sad.

Tuggan · Post by **Tuggan** » Sun Jan 08, 2006 11:34 pm

what was it a highlight for? 8 mile is just a plain old road full of industrial and commercial businesses, its even worse 'downtown'.

god damn eminem.

Minrott · Post by **Minrott** » Mon Jan 09, 2006 5:55 am

Seriously I've been to Detroit. What other kind of highlight is there? You don't even have as assinine black people stuff as Milwaukee, like the "Black Holocaust Museum."

I must have missed that day in AP History.

I was driving up 75, and there were some beautiful churches

Detroit is a bit of a shit hole. I don't live there but on the outside of it (Warren for about 6 years, now I'm in Shelby Township).

They are trying to make it a "big city" of sorts like Chicago or something but with the way things are going around here, I think they and we are screwed.

BTW, kizzy check your PM

Glad they didn't get the wrong address Tik, but if you have neighbors getting hit with "bombs", I'd think about moving :p

There is pleanty of stuff Downtown worth seeing. Theres a fuckin TON of history in Detroit.

With the casinos being brought in, the baseball all-star game, and now the superbowl the city has really picked up. States been bustin ass to make the downtown area presentable.

5 years ago it wasnt even worth going into the city, now its actually quite fun.

The Kizzy · Post by **The Kizzy** » Mon Jan 09, 2006 2:41 pm

Casinos do not equal history :boots:

Captain Insano · Post by **Captain Insano** » Mon Jan 09, 2006 2:41 pm

Detroit is the world capital for white gangster rappers. If that isn't reason enough to go there I don't know what is.

no, but being the oldest city not on the east coast does. the casinos are what started turning the city around, and bringing people and money back into the downtown.
