The public transport was recently expanded with a millage, and we are going to get a train station in the next years so great for millenials and seniors. There is an unemployment office, and other government offices are easily available. My only concern about living here is that the closest hospital is St. Joseph Health System which has treated myself and family members negligently.

Here since 1957, this memorial is dedicated to Spanish-American War veterans from the area. The war…read moretook place in 1898 in Cuba and Puerto Rico in the Carbibbean and in Philippines and Guam in the Pacific. In the end, Spain relinquished sovereignty over Cuba and ceded Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippine Islands to the United States for $20 million. 475 men from Kent County fought in the war. 60 died. The caption on the statue reads, "Presented to the city of Ypsilanti, Michigan by the members of Company G, 31st Regiment, Michigan Voluntary Infantry, War with Spain." It then lists the names of the commanding officers as well as each of the non-commissioned sergeants, corporals and privates who served. Unfortunately, I was not able to get a good photograph of it. The statue sits in front of a Domino's pizza pick up location and as the soldier faces to the East, it was impossible to capture it without facing directly into the Sun.

BURN IN HELL Or at…read moreleast while attached to a hearse. The man that designed this custom built bar and grill does just that at least once a year when he treks with the trailer to Hell, Michigan with his "open casket" grill. The grill, which was built over the course of 80 to 100 hours at The TechShop of Allen Park, is made out of a modified casket. The shell of the casket is mounted to a portable tow-behind trailer, so it draws onlookers when being transported behind a hearse, but with no visible tie-downs. (Video of the creator talking about the grill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0RXI8DHWgo) It contains a four-burner stainless steel grill that boasts 48,000 Btu of power. It boasts 496 square inches of cooking space, with electronic ignition and porcelain-coated, heavy-gauge wire cooking grates and a 20-pound propane tank. The other half of the casket includes a marine style waterproof radio and a 27-gallon cooler with built-in drainage features. Of course, the grill wouldn't be complete without tools that all have "Open Casket Bar and Grill" laser etched into their handles, and custom-made salt and pepper shakers. Why a hearse? Because the creator, Steven Frye, is also the founder of the Nightmare Cruisers Hearse Club for car enthusiasts. The club boasts more than 120 members, mostly from around Michigan, though some join from across the country. "We like to get together and do the cruises," Frey said. "When we do these cruises, we like to hang out with our friends, old friends and new friends. Anyone that has a hearse is welcome to join us, even if you are just a hearse enthusiast." Frey first bought his hearse to promote a product, "Dr. Frybrain's Pumpkin Embalmer," though most people thought it was just a name for his hearse, rather than an actual product. After a couple of years of explaining the product on the car, Frey grew tired of answering questions and instead just painted over the advertising. For a time, the club also held the record for most hearses assembled in a parade in 2011. Frey said the rule for any gathering of cars is that is has to be a parade; otherwise, the record would be held by the manufacturer. "We held the record for about 11 months," he said. "Then a group in the Netherlands broke the record. Almost all of them were 'in the business,' though. Only three of our hearses were owned by funeral homes.

This is awesome! I…read morehave seen this set up at the different car cruises around town, and I also saw it out at Hell Creek Ranch last year. The attention to detail is very professional. I've seen other casket grills, and none of them even compare. This one looks like it came direct from the factory. No other casket grill has a built in cooler, or on-board tunes! They normally only cook for club members, but you can generally get a casket-grilled hot dog for a donation to charity! Well done!
