No, I've never been to Ventimiglias.
I went to college with two of the kids of previous leading prosecutor from Warren, MI. I had the brother in my classes, and I was good friends with his younger sister (her and I don't like beer, so we always shared mixed drinks together at parties). I know Warren, MI.
My father out-law was a doctor at Bi County Hospital in Warren, MI.
I lived by the state fair on the Detroit side for 18 years, just south of 8 Mile. My son is there right now visiting his grandparents and hanging out with his old school friends. If you need to "have your back", I can let him know and he can round up a posi "from the hood"....
He is less than 10 miles from Warren, MI.
