Also, the descriptions of Detroiters here...you've lived in that area, if I recall. Personal experience?
Yep, I'm from Detroit. *g*
Detroiters consider being lost highly embarrassing for the person admitting it, so will do their best to salvage your pride -- by giving directions at a rate of speed and tone that suggests, "Of course you know this and could figure it out on your own." Just one of those regional quirks.
