Clare and all points south. Judges will also accept when the birch and pines disappear from the sides of the road on the highway, but that’s just for sentimental reasons.

This. Clare is both the gateway to the north and south. All other answers are bullshit

You’re the common denominator, mr. ignorant.

Indeed it does, but Pantry hears logic and suddenly he’s daydreaming about the internals of a computer, not sound reasoning.

That's actually a very reasonable answers. It marks the tier of the last two counties in MI. There's no place for sincere responses here.

If a town adopts a motto and puts it on a sign, it's legit. Pantry probably thinks Troy is NOT the City of tomorrow today

"8 Mile", also known as "Baseline" is the East to West surveying line used for the original land survey of the state, just as Meridian Road is the original South to North surveying line.

Southern Michigan is defiantly centered on it, though it goes further North than that, maybe to a line going through Leslie.

Then "Mid-Michigan" begins and goes up to about Clare, where Up North begins.

West Michigan is West of Meridian, East Michigan is East of that.

The "Thumb" is North of I-69 and East of Flint.

The "UP" is where all the Billy Goats Gruff live.

Look at Google maps... draw a line from the northern most part around metro Detroit where the color changes from green to white....

Between there and Clare is mid michigan unless you are within 40 min of Lake Michigan, then you are west Mi... or you are a crazy asshole, then you are probably in the thumb.

Homes so close together you can shake your neighbors hand from your bedroom window. And maybe even cross body block his cheaply built his house to the ground

Always seems funny to me when I see a house designed for a suburb, aka few or no side windows, built out in the country.
