Would he even be noticed in Ann Arbor?

Or is it East Lansing that I'm thinking of?

[Annie Where-but-here]

He cannot visit...unless he brings enough for everyone.

Well, turns out I was wrong. Pig-Canadian is written/spoken in the format of "oo-d'eh, ou-y'eh, ant-w'eh, ome-s'eh, eer-b'eh?"

My apologies to "His Honor" (straight face not possible here), ayor-M'eh ord-F'eh.

Perhaps he wants to emigrate, and then run for mayor of Washington, D.C...

It's easy to tell Ann Arbor from East Lansing. Ann Arbor is a gracious, progressive city, with a tolerant, welcoming attitude. It's "the Athens of the West", so-called because its streets are almost as well-maintained as those of Athens, Greece, c. 300 BCE. East Lansing is a more robust, live-in-the-moment kind of place, called "the Miami of the West" since its citizens are fond of drinking, rioting, drinking, and getting undergraduate degrees in animal husbandry.
