Greetings all and thank you for the welcome. Newbie to this site and still getting used to navigating the site. I live in a one stop light town in Southwest Lower Michigan right off the big lake. Looking forward to getting to know you all better and one day make a meetup or pipe club event. Been smoking pipes for over 25 years, off and on.
Michigan has a strong presence on this forum, with brothers of the briar all over the State.

I was born in Detroit, grew up in the Metro area, lived in Lansing for 18 years, and returned to the same subdivision I grew up in almost 6 years ago.

I enjoy fishing for walleye and small mouth bass on St. Claire. That's great about Michigans large presence. I would like to get to Paul's one day soon.

Sad. The randomness hasn't been explained yet. However, the quick response and promptly figuring out the suspect's address prevented a second chapter (since an assault rifle was found on the suspect's kitchen table).

Wow, that's incredibly frightening as a parent with young kids.

Damn, that's terrible. My coworker got a work email warning about this incident, but we have regularly gotten fake spam emails as training from our company. Since we couldn't find anything on any news sites about it to we thought it was a fucked up spam training thing.

Coverage was a disaster since media was covering Trump being in Detroit.

The mass text alert put the shooting at Spencer, which is a semi-isolated park about a mile away. The splash pad is actaully in the middle of a busy two way street, with a middle school and ice cream shop across the street and housing behind the park with businesses nearby.

Really not too surprising, when it comes down to it. It's the way of the world, these days.
