- mdip 3y agoWelcome to Southeast Michigan. For whatever reason, everyone within 25 miles of Detroit "lives in Detroit" even though a whole lot of us might visit the city less than once a year. The media will usually say "Metro Detroit" when referring to someone who doesn't actually live in the city[0] of Detroit and given the location of the gas station, it's probably an actual person who lives in the city. [0] In which case it could be someone living in one of three different counties.

Detroit is subordinate to Oakland County now. Maybe we should call it Oakland-Macomb for better accuracy.
- havblue 3y agoI always got the impression that it's based on not wanting to say you're from "Detroit". You say you're from Royal Oak or whatever. People get confused. You hold up your palm and point to the lower right corner. People are still confused that you just pointed to Detroit...
- hinkley 3y agoMeanwhile people living within 40 miles of Chicago 'live in Chicago'. Some insist on it themselves, others are put into that box by the rest of the Midwest.
