I was wondering if anybody wanted to share some info about where they grew up. Here are some stats on my HT.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Clair_Shores,_Michigan
Cliff notes version.
The area was home to French settlers as early as 1710, at which time it was called L'anse Creuse. (should have kept the french name)
Prior to the city's incorporation in 1951, St. Clair Shores was recognized as the largest village in the United States.( should have stayed a village, would of been a claim to fame)
Notable former residents include actor Dave Coulier, and rapper Marshall Mathers (Eminem). (we egged his house one time...for real we did)
As of the census2 of 2000, there are 63,096 people, 27,434 households, and 17,283 families residing in the city ( not that populated )
The racial makeup of the city is 96.89% White, 0.69% African American, 0.28% Native American, 0.84% Asian, 0.02% Pacific Islander, 0.18% from other races, and 1.10% from two or more races. 1.18% of the population are Hispanic or Latino of any race. ( not that diverse )
The median income for a household in the city is $49,047, and the median income for a family is $59,245. ( not that rich )
Located in St. Clair Shores are the South Lake, Lakeview and Lake Shore public school districts; each of which includes a high school of the same name as the district. Private schools include St. Germaine, St. Isaac Jogues and St. Joan of Arc.
( lots of schools in SCS )
