How much would it cost to drive to Detroit, MI from Cleveland, OH?

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

greenpaperclips asked:

Hi!
I’ve been looking for information on fuel costs and toll costs to drive from Cleveland to Detroit, and I can’t find anything!
I found a fuel cost estimator from AAA and it said it would be $36.44 round trip but that sounds really underestimated, I was thinking that would be the cost each way.

So this is for anyone who’s actually done the travelling first hand:
How much?
And how long?

Thanks!

Is it a good investment to buy real estate in Detroit?

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

kris76 asked:

I was reading that housing prices are very low in Detroit right now in some cases less than the price of cars, would it be wise to buy property there, and sit on it hoping the prices would go up? I am from SoCal, and would like to invest in property, however the money needed just for a down payment in Southern Cal, could buy 2 or even 3 houses up there, and my thought is now that I am 30 in a few years when I am ready to retire I could make alot of money off of it. I know the economy is poor there, and its not a very desirable place to live right now, but it may be worth the gamble right now, as it may change in the future. What are your thoughts?

Did Detroit really give Saddam Hussein the key to the city?

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

Alicia asked:

I heard a rumor that Saddam Hussein and Jerome Bettis are the only people ever given the key to the city of detroit. I can’t believe Saddam ever got the key, but my friend swears it’s true. Can someone please tell me the truth? As disgusting, violent, ghetto, and corrupt as Detroit is, I can’t imagine they would have done this.
