+1 on the lousy drivers

+1 on the food, highly recommend M&M cafe and Osushi.

Be aware you are moving into a large metro area. Dearborn police
current campaign slogan is lock it or lose it, due to the high number
of thefts from unlocked vehicles. Being that Dearborn shares a border
with Detroit it will have it's share of bussed in crime. Such as
muggings, robbery, theft, etc. We do in Redford. Dearborn has a very
large middle eastern population, at least some of which do not share
western values.

You'll literally be down the street from the Lions practice field, The
Henry Ford, Beaumont Hospital Oakwood Campus. Dearborn has a very
active pet rescue; in fact I think they operate the city shelter;
Friends for Animals of Metro Detroit. You'll be minutes away from
downtown Detroit which has everything from a great riverwalk to
Greektown. Please do be aware this is a very urban area and does have
crime. You will be a very short drive from any number of State Parks
and Rec areas. You obviously know about MDLUG.
