I've come to agree with you, that I shouldn't expose myself to the great state of Michigan or the veritable Nirvana of Detroit. I'll never live North of the Red River, West of the Pecos River, East of the Sabine or south of the Nueces River....
I'm sure that the folks that live outside of those boundaries are glad to be rid of me as I am to be rid of them.
I honestly couldn't care less if Detroit was the 5th largest city, so what...... I remember an interview with a typical northeastern snob that was shocked that I mentioned that I was born in San Antonio... he thought it's a nice little city. I mentioned that it was bigger than Boston and he proceeded to tell me I was wrong and that there was no way that could be.
I had a nice little chuckle when he pulled the 1980 census data up and looked it up to show me how stupid Texans are about little old San Antonio.
What did the people of Michigan ever do to you I have met all kinds of people and never had them hate Michigan like you! Geez!
The city of San Antonio is bigger than the city of Boston, sure, but that’s because San Antonio annexed everything in sight and has no suburbs. The Boston metro area, which includes everything people think of as Boston, dwarfs your hometown.
