Ah, Michiana.

30 hours in Niles and I witnessed the following:

1. A grown woman at UP mall wearing boxer shorts as outerwear. Yes, yes. Some of you may remember that I once rocked this look, but a) it was 1991 and b) I was thirteen.

2. A giant SUV with a vanity plate that read: NOT GRN. Uh ... good for you?

3. A full-sized van doing 70 on the Borman Expressway with at least 4 cats roaming around in it.

4. Anti-Bush sentiment woven into a chain-link fence, at a freaking Bible Baptist Church!
