One neighbor owned the corner drug store, and another had a furniture store, though most of our neighbors were simply employees with 9-5 jobs in retail and construction. In the middle of a Michigan winter, I stuck out my thumb and hitchhiked to Miami, the warmest place I could think of. To be honest, I would have gladly done so.
