I live in a smaller city in Oakland County, MI. Oakland county to the south central and southeast part lean toward the Democratic Party. The rest of the county is very red (Apart from Pontiac and other cities). It has gone blue and red.. depending on who the election is over and who gets out the vote more.
In any event my city is only partially spelled out on the map but it does exist. If you see where it says “Troy” and then 75.. the part that says “Madi...” is where I am.
If you look hard enough you can see me waving. The city is basically divided up into two parts, even two school districts. The part I live in, the yucky more rednecky part, is not very great, but the more north you get the nicer the city.
Anyway, why do I like the city? The only reason is…
According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2008 1.9% of people in Madison Heights were of Vietnamese descent. About 0.2% of all people in Michigan and about 0.2% of people in Oakland County are of Vietnamese descent, making the Madison Heights figures ten times the state average.
Most of the people I date are Asian, and my favoritest foods are of various Asian cultures especially Vietnamese. There are a lot of great markets, restaurants, etc in my area… the only good thing about it.
What about where you live, what about it do you like?
