Get that tongue out of your cheek! It is good to know the region. Not many people living "up there" in Pontiac drive import brands. Check out the neighborhood over there some time...they've got a bit of an issue with police staffing and crime as well. Even the new-ish aluminum siding housing they put up where the mental hospital used to be has come way downhill. Lack of police and public corruption will do that, you know? Kinda considered part of Metro Detroit also...and as someone said, the people "up there" that you are apparently referring to probably shop at Great Lakes Crossing [[Auburn Hills...also considered Metro Detroit) and I would add whatever The Village of Rochester Hills [[Rochester and Rochester Hills...also consdered Metro Detroit). Heck, throw Somerset while you're at it - Troy...and that is only one part of one of the tri-counties [[etc., etc)
