Go up with my family once in a while to the Au Sable up north, snowmobling and swimming. Wish we had a cabin up there...

The reason Michigan roads are so bad is because we’re the Motor Capital of the World & we have the highest weight limits allowed on our roads. Add that to the fact we have 4 seasons* w/ the changing temperatures, plus lots of snow, ice, & salt. Then, add that to the fact that everyone drives cars because Henry Ford tanked our public transportation system to force everyone to have to buy cars, so we have the perfect storm that causes our roads to be some of the worst roads in the nation. If I ran things, these big companies that ship heavy truckloads would pay a tax based on the weight limits which they carry & that money would go towards fixing the roads. Your video was very entertaining & I was cracking up. Your Michigan Left description is priceless! I hope you become some kind of a public speaker.

Detroit used to be the Capitol long ago but it was changed during the war because of it’s close proximity to Canada. Lansing became the Capitol of Michigan in 1847.

Detroit historically was the capital of Michigan then they voted to move it to the middle of the lower part of the state. Detroit is a French word and also was part of Canada later switching to the USA.. Mackinac island was 2nd to become a federal park right after yellow stone. Also no cars allowed and rated the best vacationed island in the world...love Michigan..😉hi from Kalamazoo

Ok so what dialect does soda pop come from? I've been to Arkansa, Iowa & Oklahoma a lot when I was young because I have family there.

In clarification, in case anyone thinks we're obsessed with getting back a dime...The deposit is 10 cents PER can/bottle. So upon return of a 12 pack of pop, it's $1.10. Not just ten cents.

I grew up in MI, but then my parents moved us to WV(massive shock to my 15 yo system lol). I quickly stopped saying pop and went with soda due to always getting snarky comments on the "accent" and how i said pop. Im the only one in my family who says soda, and they think it's weird as well lol. ******************* I'm the last one in my family not back in MI, but I'll be moving back up within a year and introducing my husband and daughter to all our "odd" things. This video makes me wanna go now!

I've lived in Michigan since 88 (when I was 8 ) and I still say coke. It's been ingrained in me from my southern family.

Go to Boston, where it's a "tonic", whether Coke, Pepsi, or any other soda/soda pop/pop.

Never new it was called a "Michigan" left. What about "Michigan" basements. That confuses people in Arizona because nobody has basements. One thing Iv'e never seen or done is using the palm of my right hand to indicate where I'm from, but lots of people in surrounding states say that we do that alot. Here is something really weird if it still applies. You can set off fireworks in Michigan where they are illegal to buy yet You can buy fireworks in Indiana (where they are illegal to use) however, if you have a MI ID while buying fireworks in Indiana, you have to sign a waiver saying you promise not to use them in Michigan. (or, of course, Indiana)

Thank god you under stand us you got a sub

Up north starts at clare

Some people who live by Romeo that work in Canada.

You forgot about in winter roads are smoother than in the summer and the great Michigan weight allowance 164,000 lbs for about every truck

(From the thumb) WHY ARE YOU SO RIGHT?

Point #5.. ive never heard the UP actually be called "up north." Up north was points in the LP north of the major cities and the UP is just the UP.

The streets of Michigan are covered with free beer. All you have to do is look.

Anything above Detroit is up north 😂💯 truth
