My boyfriend, Sean, who lives in Battle Creek (which is 20 minutes away from Kalamazoo) just read through that list and he loved it! He does alot of those... even taught me to play Euchre or at least try to understand it since we don't play that out here on the East Coast. It's amazing how different it is in the Mid-west from the East coast!

Awesome post

Lol, loved that list.

Three more!

26. If you know what a "Yooper" is and have
to explain to out of state people.

27. If you had a choice of watching the
Red Wings and the Lions, you would
rather watch the Red Wings.


29. If you consider crayfish as a
bait and not a dish to be
consumed at a dinner event.​

Because it is true, true, true.

The sports teams stink. The colleges stink. The weather stinks. The people are rude.

Goodness can anything good come from Michigan?
