I've recently had the pleasure of working with several out of state home buyers who are relocating to Michigan. Some of the most fun that I've had is hearing them talk about what is different in Michigan compared to their home states.
One question that was asked of me: "Why do people hold up their hand and point to where they are, or where they are going?"
My answer: Because we can. (How many other states can do this on their hands???)
Another question: "Who came up with the Michigan left hand turn?"
My answer: I have no idea. But I bet he turned in the draft of his/her proposal to the Michigan Department of Transportation anonymously. (If I came up with the idea of turning right to turn left I would surely not want anyone to know about it!)
Another goodie: "How is Gra-ti-ot pronounced?""
Answer: Gra-shit. (Seriously. I'm not kidding.)
Last but not least: "How far do you have to go to be up north?"
The correct answer: If you are on I-75 northbound and hit more than two traffic slow downs then you are up north. No matter how far south in the state you are.
