Michigan Does It Right

I just got back from a family trip and something occurred to me:

Michigan would be a nice place to live.

Reasoning: I've been trying for a while now to find a place to play some live poker, to get some experience under my belt just in case I should find myself in Vegas playing in some sort of WSOP tournament or something. So far, the only place I can find to play in the Albany area has been raided twice in the last year and robbed once.

I think I'll pass on that one.

In Michigan, however, it's a different story. See, they have legalized gambling there. Everyone was jumping the border to Canada to play, so they decided to keep the business for themselves. There are casinos in downtown Detroit, but here is the best part - just about every bowling alley has a poker room in it! I don't know what limits they feature (I didn't have the extra time nor cash to play with), but it is still very interesting. I may have to work that into my schedule/budget the next time we take a trip there.
