Ilana is spending her two academic years in Ann Arbor earning a masters at the School of Information at the University of Michigan. One regional practice she just loves is how people in Michigan describe where they live in the state.
The hand of Michigan. See if you hold your hand just like this, it's kinda the shape of the state. So then you can point to the place on your hand to locate your hometown. Or where you're going.
Where on the hand are you? People ask that.
You can see that Ann Arbor is in the fleshy part of the palm near the thumb.
