I miss Meijer. People in the Great Lakes area take it for granted.

Everytime I went to my local one it was pretty spotless.

Pumping gas (New Jersey).

Never forget that.... I had a rental car and pulled up to the pumps to start filling up the tank. Some guy came out of a booth and told me that was against the law in NJ. Said that was his job to pump the gas.

Just being honest: My first trip into Michigan was around age 30, and I was taken aback when I saw local roadway signs saying the area had been adopted by the "Daughters of the Union."

To that point in my life I had only ever encountered "Daughters of the Confederacy," and I had to do a double-take before realizing I was WAY north of the Mason/Dixon.

I don't remember encountering anything particularly unique business-wise. Maybe something related to their cold weather. I did discover a place selling pies that could put Lea's out of business. And, I say that as someone who has spent decades eating at Lea's.

Maple sugar shacks
Can & bottle redemption centers


While I don't think it's as big as from the 80s & 90s, automotive undercoating/underbody companies are a very northern thing. Ziebart, Krown, etc.

Some of the shadiest folks around imho. You’d either had to agree to get locked into a contract of X gallons at a fixed rate over the entire winter and take a gamble on not just pricing but also weather or risk trying to find even shadier cash only truckers who most likely had short-delivered every other regular customer that day.

In Chicago we had a ton of places with gyros and hot dogs. In the South you only get gyros at Greek or Mediterranean places and it’s not as good.

I find the chicks up north are more sexually open and not near as uptight when it comes to getting freaky like southern girls.
