$2M all-glass house on Grosse Ile faces the Detroit River and Canada

All of those that live or have lived in the Metro area can dream of this one.

Interesting fact: Birders around Grosse Ile area are seeing a startling new bird, more often associated with Florida — the large white pelican. Naturalists say it is moving east from its usual summer nesting sites in the north-central plains. A white pelican’s wing span is 9 feet.

I've spent some time Walleye fishing in front of this house, even though I don't remember seeing it. Also floated by it on the BobLo boat a few times.

I can barely keep up with that. I can see me in the small apartment above the garage.

moved, on average every 2 years to a different apartment. Now I have settled down and am in my fourth “forever home” in 20 years.

... in an article titled "House Envy".

It pisses me off that they ignore the other deadly sins. I'd like to see "House Sloth".
