Firekeepers ready for 2009 casino opening

Last time I was at Hessel it was 8 in the morning, Hank Williams "Your Cheatin Heart" was playing on the P.A. system, 2 locals with hangovers were sitting at a table with coffee and the waitress was doubling as the cashier and, oh yeah, the security guard at the door was also the slot attendant...what a scene. It was like something out of an old B movie.

But, don't ya just love it there?

I'm sure the tribes would like to thank all those who donate to their cause just like the state thanks those who donate. The tribes probably appreciate all the free advertising they are getting from the media, which is very nice of the media to do forthem.

We (my lovely wife of 45 years and I) consider casino gambling entertainment and as such we budget for it the same way anyone else might budget to go out for dinner, drinks and a movie. We really don't care if they are owned by Indians, greeks, Las Vegas mega corporations or the mob. It's how we enjoy ourselves and when we win, we consider it a bonus.

Yep, we must. We always stop there when we're in the area.

I see the dim bulbs are at it again. Wouldn't it be wonderful if he, she or they had a life.

Lol-I used to live about three miles from there. It is like something out of the Twilight Zone!

That's exactly how we feel about it too. We rent a cottage on Lk. Huron, enjoy the sun, boats, and have budgeted for the casinos. I would rather go there than sit in a fancy restaurant for 2 hours! Just might go back up in the fall.

is there a new firekeepers casino in new buffalo?

The one in New Buffalo is called Four Winds.
