      I am proposing that Sterling Place become its own neighborhood, similar to "North Flatbush" and other neighborhoods named for a street. Call it a neighborhood within a neighborhood, if you will. But as Gus (resident of Sterling Place and owner of Tom's Restaurant) likes to say, "Sterling Place is a sterling street." Liberate Sterling Place! Viva Sterling Heights!

      Who's with me?

      Sterling Heights is already claimed by an awful bit of painful whiteness outside of Detroit.

      Sorry, dude, I just thought you should know.

      I'm sure it is.

      I thought about Apacadacofrobee ("apartment caddy-corner from beast") but decided that, on a t-shirt, people would just think it said "Abercrombie".

      Oh dear God...

      Official Website of Sterling Heights, Michigan:

      Headline acts for Sterlingfest announced -- Country rockers Restless Heart and Dennis DeYoung, former singer and songwriter for the rock group Styx, are among the musical acts scheduled to perform during the 2007 Sterlingfest Art & Jazz Fair in Dodge Park and the City Center.

      (But then again, Styx WAS pretty awesome...)

      I retract my proposal. I shall hereby resume citizenship in the republic of Prospect Heights. Please accept my apologies and accept my apologies.

      As a resident of Prospect Pl., I can only support this proposed rebranding of the neighborhood after the name of the street.

      No prizes. Except one's honor. Maybe pride.

      And to Sterling 2000: yeah, maybe a little...

      Dennis DeYoung...

      Wow, you said it man, regardless of Styx having one or two awesome songs. I fully believe that Dennis De Young was the worst thing about them, and their songs clearly have not withstood the "test of time(s)."

      By the way, I thought he had a condition where he couldn't bear exposure to the light of day lest he swoon or catch the vapors or something. I gather that's cleared up?
