Here's someone I can give two thumbs up to, the first for taking an interest in this and the
second for, and correct me if I'm wrong, not growing up in this country.
Well cele, looks like you only get one thumbs up.

Except for Michigan. The capital is not Detroit because it was too close to Canada.That's because they are located at the center of the population mass when the state's were formed.

Actually, a city up here in the UP, around 550 miles from Detroit, was in the running for Capital of Michigan. Calumet, Michigan, in the late 1800s was a huge mining town and one of the bigger cities in Michigan.
Some say, that this is the only possible place that the Vikings could have gotten copper from. Interesting...
Hello all!!! Sorry I haven't been on much. I had to deal with Hurricane Sandy and I currently have no roof. Yesterday we had a nor-easter snow storm come ashore and my bathroom suffered more damage. No body is working with my family and I. It is a pain. Anyway school has been tough but I am handling it every day. Just wanted to stop by and say hi!!

I'm from Chicago. I didn't hear anything about that. Maybe it was only in the city?Are there any members here from Chicago? I was just talking to a friend there and he said all their TV and radio stations suddenly blacked out and there's military helicopters all over. I can't find anything on the internet though.
EDIT: Apparently some sort of elaborate military exercise. How bizarre.
