Unless you have been to Detriot.

Then you know it's something to consider.

Been to Detroit, it's not that far-fetched.

There are only a few good things about Detoit. The Red Wings and leaving town.

so is it free everywhere? it's in like every store here cuz it started in the city that i live. it's so funny how some people take those articles seriously too. the horoscopes are also super funny. i think this week's best one goes to Cancer: You will sin to a new low during a game of Monopoly this week, when, in an attempt to dissuade your opponent from purchasing Oriental Avenue, you'll casually remark that ''it's not called Oriental Avenue for nothing"
