Top 5 non-human things I miss about Monroe, Michigan

In no particular order:

1. The creek. Specifically, being a nine year old and walking from my house to the field behind my subdivision that led to the creek so that we could catch frogs.

2. Tim Horton's French Vanilla Iced Cappucino. Better than Starbucks, better than Dunkin Donuts, better than any iced coffee drink I've ever had. Two points to the Canadians.

3. Frenchtown Mall - now the "Mall of Monroe" - where fourteen year old girls walk around attempting to look way cooler and far less awkward than they actually are and succeed in looking even more like awkward, awkward teenagers. I used to be one of those girls. I also used to work at Olga's Kitchen in the mall. That I don't miss so much.

4. The fact that on any given Saturday night, you will run into at least five people you grew up with/went to school with/generally haven't seen in a decade or more. And their conversations with you almost always start with "I had a baby! Don't know where that loser daddy a his ran off to, though..."

5. Monroe High School will always, no matter how it tries, look like a state prison.

I can't make this shit up, people.
