Ghetto Bachelor Recipe #1: Crunchy Fireball Tomato Soup

If I made a lot of money, I'd probably live in New York, New Orleans, Chicago... hell, maybe the nicer parts of Gary, Indiana. But I'm broke and live in Hamtramck. Damn near every day is a fiscal battle between being able to buy beer, diner stuff somewhat resembling food, or a somewhat casual meth habit.

I doubt I'm alone - there's a lot of broke motherfuckers in Hamtramck, so I give to you, Ghetto Bachelor Recipe #1:



Ingredients:
1 can Campbell's tomato soup
3/4 can Hamtramck city water (less to make extra thick....and uh... crunchy)
a handfull of Triscuits
and a generous helping of Frank's Red Hot.

Directions:
Put all that shit in a pot, except the crackers unless you like em soggy, and heat until you see a lot of little bubbles and some steam.

Eat. Go to sleep drunk.

Broderick Tower

So I somewhat feel like a punk rushing over to the Broderick Tower after reading about it being accessible, but A and I tried last year, only to end up in some shitty diner instead. The Broderick is one of the few larger buildings we hadn't covered and it was well worth the effort.



As ridiculous as a whale mural in downtown Detroit is, it's far better than the several story tall bug/Jeep ad that fouled up the Detroit skyline for months.







Being short on time, we skipped the lobby and headed straight for the top of the building, where we came across what used to be a private bar on one of the top floors of the building.



....the view from the roof of the Broderick is one of the best in the city.
