Yes, Michigan, the feeling is forever, but soon I will (ad)venture into the great metropolis and leave this place behind. However much of a morass it seems at times, Flint is my home and I am proud to say so. It's sort of like falling so in love with your toilet, you can't bear to use it anymore.
10. All kinds of flowers growing wild in my yard
9. Not locking my doors
8. Hearing the actual quote "I know all about dirt plugging up machines. I used to live on a dirt road," uttered in all seriousness
7. Pointing to my city on my hand
6. The bittersweetness of midwest living
5. Striking up conversations about rebuilding carbuerators with turkey-hunting exotic dancers (you can't do that just anywhere)
4. Farms: one-inch corn sprouts and the bright whiteness of newborn calves might be the most precious thing imaginable after waiting all winter for the last patch of snow to melt
3. The fact that even in the summer, cottonwood trees make everything look freaking snowy
2. Tucows
1. Living within 15 miles of my entire family
