Slowly Growing Economy! And Some Other Stuff! :))

It may shock you, but before I've heard the highest unemployment rate of the nation was Michigan before, with 15.1 percent unemployment. That rate is now 13.2 percent, slowly growing economy. We finally rank second now, Nevada is now 1.0 percent above us, Nevada is horrible! But Michigan IS getting better, but I don't understand why people have to move away permanently. The scenery here is BEAUTIFUL, with tons of trees and hills and a wide variety of nature. Northern Lower Michigan is pretty suburban and VERY quiet. I camp near Luzerne, Michigan, and me and my family have a cabin in Canada Creek Ranch in Montmerency County. I live in Genessee County, Flushing to be exact. I know what your thinking: FLINT! I live on the eastern side of Flushing but Flushing really is that bad. Most of the other city have some descent crime but Flushing really isn't one of them. Lately there has been some abnormal events, but it's summer and us kids love to cause trouble because we get more bored than adults at work. Flint is the 5th most dangerous city, according to crime ratings of cities in 2009. Detroit ranks 4th, down from 1st and other former rankings. Yet again Detroit is extreme poverty, we have to give them a little slack since the unemployment rate is crazy and the auto industry is failing, we need to diversify our economy, NOW! Flint is just Flint though, it's terrible there, I heard they were going to bring in the swat team it got so bad. Murders, assaults... it's horrible and makes you really scared of going there. Heck, they just got a serial killer in Flint. But I heard he did some real bad murders in Virgina as well and possibly Ohio, but I'm not sure. I know Michigan and Virginia for a fact, but Ohio I'm not positive. You should move here when the economy gets better! Many couples have moved here for weddings, saw it on the news! Maybe you should move to Grand Rapids or Flushing, like me! Well that's all for now, I may post some comments about others states n' stuff. Later!
