    New around here from Detroit

    hmmm. well it is a pretty blown up spot. But i highly doubt that any people inside at night have anything to do with any gangs (you would just figure that you would have to be pretty stupid to congregate any illigal activity in one of the most heavily watched spots in the city). This building is...

    Lugubrious living in Detroit

    CCS Graduate? Go to the trumbullplex, while not a punk house by any means, its still a good spot to get your foot in the door in the Detroit art/punk/activism community. You should be able to meet whoever you need to get yourself in the right direction.

    Crossing Border From Canada to US

    as long as you have passports you should be cool. It also depends on where you cross at, i have no idea where your planning on doing this at, but make sure you are actually able to walk or bike across. I live by the boarder and i know here you cant bike or walk across (because of the river), but...

    tobacco prices....

    i was in the upper peninsula in michigan (on a reservation) and got a tin of bugler for $30... absolutly outragous, over twice as much as it used to cost off a reservation. but here a bag bugler is $4 and something cents. ive really gotta quit with prices like that.

    Chicago, IL

    Wicker Park isnt the worst place to spend time, a bit expensive though... but i guess thats chicago in general. There is that one really cool book store (i forget the name), and reckless records is worth checking out.
