I will be honest, when people ask me where I live, I say Detroit/Detroit metro area because almost no one (not even people in surrounding cities) has heard of my tiny little town (I like it that way, too). 20 minutes from Detroit isn't Detroit, but if you don't live in SE Michigan, we're all Detroit. Though it's also a good way to freak people out. I've gotten "omg, you live in DETROIT???" which makes me laugh.
Though my grad school is literally in downtown Detroit (though I'm finished there), which made people worry about me going to classes. I have also ended up on 8 mile and driving down a lot of roads in Detroit is as depressing as you think it'd be.
