I have been lurking a bit on here for the last 4 months or so. Thought I would say hello finally. I'm from just north of Grand Rapids, MI.
I've been pipe smoking since June. I typically enjoy a good English/Balkan (as of right now and the cold weather). I also enjoy VAs and some Aros. So I guess that is pretty typical.

Welcome from a former Michigander. I was born in GR, but haven't been back to visit for about 8 years. Do they still make Hush Puppy shoes in Rockford?

Welcome from a former Michigander. I was born in GR, but haven't been back to visit for about 8 years. Do they still make Hush Puppy shoes in Rockford? Yes they do. The mother company is called Wolverine World Wide. They own several shoe companies such as CAT and Merrell. |

Welcome from South Georgia. I am originally from Monroe County Michigan. I have a lot of family throughout the state. A lot of them are/were in Grand Rapids. It is a great state. Our parents were both fans of the state of Michigan and the name Joshua, so there is that. I'm always curious on forums if I've run across family members of those who have come from this area. Your handle also references my favorite poem by Frost. |

Another warm welcome from Northern Ireland. If you've any questions, just ask. The people here are friendly and will steer you in the right direction... Usually that direction is to your bank, so that you can empty your account so it can be spent on tobacco and pipes, but at least you'll have many guides to ensure that the money is well spent.
Enjoy your stay.
