I had to go dig out my Tigers hat, fair-weather fan that I am.

The way things have been going in Nashville, the Tiges and Pistons are all we’ve got!

I’m from Flint, but attending school in PA. My family (excluding my mom) are all dopers, though I don’t know if my dad has paid up yet. Plus Anna’s SO. (I call my sisters and the SO The Junior Doper Society of Mid-Michigan. They are all in high school, though very, very cool people despite the whole teenage thing.)

Despite? I like to think its because of that fact. 😃

Although I’ve settled in Lansing for the moment, I’ll always be a SE Michigander at heart (grew up in Monroe). 😃

Yup, originally from Chesterfield Township, temporarily in Kalamazoo, moving back to Detroit next year in April. I’ll be out in Pontiac Saturday, then I don’t know when I get to come back out ☹

:: saunters in ::

Hey hey, born and raised in St. Clair Shores and going to school in Southfield. Even though there are things about here I don’t like, I think I’ll always consider the metro Detroit area my home.  
Question to Michganians outside of the Detroit area: does Detroit “count” as Michigan to you? Is it way different?

Well, I was born in Detroit but we came out here when I was three. My Dad spent his formative years in Detroit though, with summers in the Keeweenaw.

Raised in Ann Arbor, in the shadow of the Wolverines, but left when I went in the Navy many years ago and somehow landed in Joisey.

I tried my pronunciation out on the [Michigan Accent](http://www.michigannative.com/michiganaccent.html) page the other day. I still have it!
