"They talking about us" - Lions forum sweep

I thought it was a fun read and the term "Banjoville" made me LOL. For those of you that don't know, Detroit is the biggest s-hole of any city in the US. It's crazy how much of Detroit is in ruins, they have photo galleries out there showing you how bad it is. I truly feel bad for that city. Meanwhile, i would think most people know Charlotte is one of the most modern cities in the US

for example, 6 of the 12 tallest skyscrapers in Charlotte were built since 2000....2000, 2002, 2007, 2010, 2010, 2010

compare to Detroit, were only 2 of their 20 tallest skyscrapers were built since the 70s: 1989 and1993

Hurricane Irene hit North Carolina in late 2011 and destroyed thousands of homes in North Carolina. Google "fema trailers north carolina irene" and you get tons of 2012 articles about North Carolina residents still living in FEMA trailers

Hurricane Floyd hit North Carolina in 1999, and FEMA spent hundreds of millions of dollars on North Carolina, including thousands of FEMA trailers

Alma Knight looks from the porch of her hurricane-damaged home past the FEMA trailer where she and her husband are living in Stumpy Point, N.C., on Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2012. Her house is still being rebuilt months after Hurricane Irene.

 

In 2014 FEMA was involved in mudslides in Washington.

2012: Dozens of states on the east coast due to Hurricane Sandy, particularly NJ and NY.

2011: Numerous states due to an outbreak of tornados, particularly Missouri.

2008: Misc disasters in TX and LA.

2007: Wildfires in CA.

2005: LA, Mississippi and Alabama-Katrina, Rita and Wilma.

FEMA is involved everywhere, but if any one place is linked to FEMA in the average person's mind it's Louisiana.

Detroit should get a reality show called, "Finding a Manufacturing Job."

Sounds like a plan to me. I would imagine if you sent a lesbian, a wooing fat guy, and 2 guys who just hang out with them to detroit, they couldnt do any worse at finding jobs than they do finding bigfoot.

He's on point for the most part.

Detroit could make a killing if they started marketing themselves as a filming location for post-apocalypse hellscapes.

Zombie movies, nuclear war movies, pretty much anything that needs giant swaths of ruins.

Read like a bunch of poorly written drivel to me. I'm just surprised somebody from Detroit can read AND write
