Walking on sunshine. Always tacky.

Port Huron, like so many other cities, is trying to revitalize their downtown area.

They swear they want to do it, but in my daily reading, I realize they are missing the basic common sense to accomplish ANYTHING!

Port Huron's downtown isn't geared toward any group -- not men or women, not even boaters! They are especially hellbent on keeping away those under 30 and especially, The Kids.

The few shops are the 9-5 prissy type. Public parking sucks, not just for cars, but for boats, too. Not good for the self-proclaimed, "Maritime Capital of the Great Lakes."

Not too long ago, I would cruise PH on Friday and Saturday nights with hundreds of other kids. Sure, there was an occasional rowdy car, but the tickets the police wrote well-funded the town! Now, cruising is cause for an officer to tell the kids to go home or issue a loitering/disturbing the peace citation.

No wonder kids are leaving after high school and settling down elsewhere!

I could go on and on, but instead, will give a moment to Lulu. Thinking of you!
