I like to refer to it as the "Armpit of the midwest."

I grew up in Iowa, so I'll say hi.

HI!

Now I live in FLA.

Question, why are Iowa and Missouri in the "Great Lakes" section? This is the first time I've ever heard of either of them being included anywhere other than the "Midwest" It's been a few years since I've been home, but as far as I can remember Iowa & Missouri are as "Prarie" as Kansas & Nebraska.

Nice, I lived there for 8 months about 2 years ago when the plant was changing over to the new Tahoe/Yukon. I didn't have my V then, but my G6 was always parked in front of Stokes.

I'm Seth and live in metro Detroit, and other parts of the country, travelling around as an engineer for GM.

Between the steel mills and the stockyards, it made me think more of a Mech Wars battlefield, a week later.

I believe there is a bar with a shower somewhere in between. I had the opportunity to spend five summers in one of the local foundries, good incentive to hit the books in the September. Real work sucks!
BTW, a friend (also from GC) recently picked up a silver 04. He now lives in the High Pointe neihborhood, on the road that runs between McClausland (sp?) and onto highway 40.
