Detroit Free Press

For all of you in the Detroit area the Free Press ran a large article about TTD in today's paper. It mentions that they are only using 4 cars on the trains right now to break in the system and expect the trains to be at full capacity with 5 cars by Memorial Day weekend.

Me: That's cool, I think I have two cents.

Host: I better not take it, by the time you leave here its all you'll have.

The power tower looks so SMALL in the picture, and you can tell they haven't reached the top yet from the angle.

Yeah, I was really pleased with the article in the Free Press. Especially with all the crap that you see in the news, this article really stood out. There were no errors that I noticed, and they gave some quality information along with an awesome description of the actual ride.

By the way, here is a link to the article:

I didn't know about the article until I got to school and this kid told me about it. Thank God we have newspaper stands in school! Actually, he told me it was the Detroit News, but don't worry, I got my 50 cents back. ;)

Anyway, I brought it with me to every class today. That picture on the front page of the section looks awesome. By the time I got to seventh hour, people just started making fun of me. :(

The only thing worse than people who make grammar mistakes are the people who have to point it out every ****ing time.
