HAIL TO THE VICTORS!

In Detroit/Windsor, there is a radio station called The River (93.9 FM). It's slogan is "Deep. Cool. Current." which does a fair job of describing the music it plays (modern indie rock). I only recently realized that all of those words are also meant to describe a river (although "current" would be a noun in that case and not an adjective).

It doesn't describe just any river. It's the Detroit River.

We've got a major road/state highway named "Gratiot" whose second syllable is pronounced precisely like "poo poo". It's fun when out-of-towners try to maneuver delicately around it until a local tells them it's okay to step right in it. As it were.

All the French street names around Detroit are pronounced wrong.

Gratiot
Dequindre
Charlevoix
Dix

Also "Detroit" itself.
