Sadly...you would be located in Detroit :/

Well, Greenfield Village, anyway, but when I left Michigan 10 years ago, basically anything east of a line running north/south thorugh Lansing, and south of a line running east/west through Port Huron was considered to be effectively "The greater Detroit metro area", I guess I'll score it as "close enough" :) I don't expect that the sprawling cancer sometimes called "The city of Detroit" has done anything but sprawl even more since I managed to make my escape from the social/employment/economic black hole that was Michigan in the late 80's and early 90's.
