Description
I dunno how accurate any of this stuff is.I only live here, after all.
Haha but really, this is all just stuff I heard. <3
And like, I've only lived in one of these places, and my experiences with the people from other places hasn't been immense or anything, so if my generalization of a region is just toootally off, I'm sorry. xD
Also, my spelling of "yooper" is just phonetic; I have no idea if that's how it actually goes. xD
When I think east, the first thing I think is Detroit, which makes me think GANGSTAS, but I know a couple people from the better parts around Detroit, so... Have the strange middle-ground of baggy sweaters and beanies.
When I think west, I think Grand Rapids, which makes me think conservative businessmen and also art students and art and also art, and I'm not gonna draw a businessman, so. Have the smokin' (literally) kid in a hoodie.
And the U.P. makes me think of huntin' and wilderness. And mountain men?
I don't even.
WEARING HOODIES IS COOL.
KEEPING BOTH YOUR HANDS IN YOUR HOODIE POCKETS IS EVEN COOLER.
Also, for some reason there is Mackinac Bridge, Mackinac Island, and Mackinaw City?
And they're all pronounced "mack-in-awe"?
Why, Michigan.
Why.

Odd. I'm from east Michigan and I've never heard "Michiganian." It's always been Michigander. Otherwise, this is very true. XD
And the "Mackinac" and "Mackinaw" thing is so the post office does not get confused and wind up sending things that are supposed to go to the island over to the city, and vice versa.

Could be!
No problem! The Mackinac thing can be confusing. XD

Haha, I always forget what one is spelled what way... QuQ;;;

Also, Mackinac is French (and to an extent, Native American), where as Mackinaw is British, and the French owned the area of Michigan before the British, and somethings probably stuck, to a certain degree.
