Re: Anyone here know the Detroit area?

[(Anonymous)]

Backup up what was said before. It's easily theoretically possible to commute from Metro Detroit to Ann Arbor, but people don't do it if they can avoid it. But there are definitely towns in between that are liveable. As to "pretty, small towns"? Uh, not really. Well, go ahead and look it up on a map. Belleville has some nice lakes; my parents were recently considering retiring to a cottage there. It's about halfway between both cities, so you could have both people commute in either direction. Frankly nothing between Detroit and Ann Arbor gets too rural. "Wastelands of malls" describes basically all of Metro Detroit. Look at a map between the two. Once you get out past say, Canton and the Metro Airport (just past Taylor) you're passing out of the Detroit Metro area, and things get a bit more rural-ish until you hit Ypsi (nickname for Ypsilanti) and A2 (nickname for Ann Arbor), but still not really rural-rural. Further north of Ann Arbor, say like, the Brighton area, might have more that type of "small town" feel, but that's not really an ideal location to live if you're commuting all the way to Detroit.

From my experience (living in Ann Arbor for 6 years as a student) people just call UofM "UofM". Said like that ("u of m"). If non-student locals have a different nickname for it I've never heard it. The nickname for Ann Arbor is A2, as I said, and Ypsilanti is called Ypsi.

If what you're after is a town with some "character" there are plenty of spots in Metro Detroit that have that going on too. Royal Oak, Birmingham, and Ferndale all have interesting downtown areas. Some other cities probably do too but those are the areas I'm most familiar with. Lots of those areas have farmers markets etc. and that kind of thing too.
