I love Michigan place names. My address gives people trouble sometimes if they're from elsewhere, because I guess not everyone knows Ypsilanti or Washtenaw county. :-P
One of my favorite pieces of Michigan name trivia is that a lot of our cities and counties have names that were creates to seem Native American in origin but are really completely meaningless.
"Do you know how a man makes his way here? By brilliance of genius or the cunning use of corruption.
You must cut a path through this mess of men like a cannon-ball, or creep among them like a pestilence."
