Interesting fact: Birders around Grosse Ile area are seeing a startling new bird, more often associated with Florida — the large white pelican. Naturalists say it is moving east from its usual summer nesting sites in the north-central plains. A white pelican’s wing span is 9 feet.

I've spent some time Walleye fishing in front of this house, even though I don't remember seeing it. Also floated by it on the BobLo boat a few times.

3. 9 times the sq ft of my house and

I can barely keep up with that. I can see me in the small apartment above the garage.

4. Same here.

I look at that place and think..meh..I like my little cracker box of a house.

6. Before I'd buy that house, I'd demand they wash the roof.

Filthy!!!!!! Now on to find some more change in my couch.

7. Nice crib. Drapes and blinds must cost a fortune.

10. I worked in Detroit for 30 years and

moved, on average every 2 years to a different apartment. Now I have settled down and am in my fourth “forever home” in 20 years.

11. Every Sunday, the Detroit Free Press features a house ...

... in an article titled "House Envy".

It pisses me off that they ignore the other deadly sins. I'd like to see "House Sloth".

12. I had a friend that was all about Michigan out houses.

Kind of a hobby. He could get a job at the freep and do "Shit House" column.

13. I know just the place to read his column, ...

... and then put it to further use.

14. And a Michigan two-hoper vs a

single or triple might make some good reading. I just don't want to fall into that trap.

15. I'd buy it myself but...

I can't afford the amount of Windex I'd need to keep the windows spotless.
