He promised me there would be no brussel sprouts and he delivered. Thank you for a perfect gift, Anthony. Here is our post for condoDomain, if you want to see what we gave Anthony. With no further ado, I give you Anthony’s take on Beverly Hills 90210 vs Beverly Hills 48025

    Great post Anthony!

    Interesting comparison between the two Beverly Hills. I suspect once you get past these statistical differences, the two really aren’t as different as they appear. People are people no matter if they are from Beverly Hills, CA or Beverly Hills, MI. (wow. That was deep.)

  2. 2 Maureen McCabe

    The one that thrills me the most is:
    Unemployment:

    Beverly Hills, MI - Unemployed: 1.4%

    Beverly Hills, CA - Unemployed: 5.4%

    Of course most of MI is not that low… but maybe with this encouragement.. smarter, less unemployment, the rest of the state can overcome the doldrums. Fun to read. Thanks

  3. 3 Maureen Francis

    I have a blogging etiquette dilemma here. Do I respond to the comments or does Tony? Mo in Oh, I think the unemployment stats might be from the last census or something. I presume they are old, but Beverly Hills MI should be lower than much of the state just for the reasons you have pointed out.

    I also understand there is a ‘Marilyn Monroe’ in Bev Hills, MI but she’s 97 and has yet to kill herself.

  5. 5 jf.sellsius

    Love it. Very clever, Geno.

  6. 6 Christine

    Why no Brussel Sprouts??? Do the Ca like Brussel sprouts??

  7. 7 Condo Blog
