You Know You're a Detroiter When ...

What does it mean to you to be a Detroiter?
    
If you talk to people who live in the city, you'll hear dozens of different answers.

M.L. Elrick is a proud resident  and he's got some ideas.

Detroit turns 314 on July 24.  While the city has changed a lot over the years  we are still proud to call it home.
    
And of course, there are some aspects of Detroit living that make it truly one of a kind. For example:

- When you're done cutting your lawn - there's another lawn down the block you have to cut.

- You believe despite all the investigations, despite the decade Elrick tried to prove it and lack of evidence, there was a party at a certain mansion - named Manoogian.

- When every new business in your area tuns out to be a marijuana dispensary.

- When you go to the Detroit Zoo ... in Royal Oak.

- When you are prepared to go toe to toe over which coney island - American or Lafayette is better.

We want to hear from you - whether you are a Detroiter or a transplant.  

Post with the hashtag #ThisIsDetroit on Facebook and Twitter and tell Elrick and his cameraman what to check out in Detroit and he might include it in next Friday's report on Detroit's actual birthday!
