Wither Michigan
Another Town Bites the Dust..
Ypsilanti was never what I'd call I nice town. It's always kind of been the poor step sister the nearby Ann Arbor. But it is kind of sad that yet another rust belt city in my home state falls into obsolescence, adding to the list of cities near death like Saginaw, Detroit, and Flint. Oh wait, Flint is dead. Kind of sad too that most of the people I know from college at Michigan didn't settle in the state, they, like me, went to find greener pastures elsewhere. I'm afraid it will just be getting worse in the years ahead.
