4 Places That Are Worse Than Detroit

The Iconic “Spirit of Detroit” monument. In its left and right hands are Detroit mascots Ulrich the Urchin and “The Naked Nicklesons”, respectively.
Unless you owe somebody $18 billion, you have more money than the city of Detroit.
Detroit recently announced that it is declaring Chapter 9 bankruptcy, because, in Detroit, the best and most proven way to solve a problem is to give up. The tragicomedy of the situation, of course, is that it couldn’t even succeed in declaring itself a failure; in essence, even having no money is too much money for Detroit to be able to handle.

8:00 am: Organic chemistry lecture. You get your midterm back today.
9:00 am: You want breakfast, but you don’t have much time before your 9:30am class, so you are forced to eat breakfast in Hinman dining hall.
9:25 am: Wait for the Frostbite Express. It will not come. It does not exist. Continue reading
