Many citizens of the Detroit area drive to "lake country" just like they do in Minnesota.

That's nice. Many people in Chicago do too.

Yes, and many of those Chicago people drive to lakes in Michigan.

I've only spent minimal time in Detroit's suburbs, but they seemed sprawling, bland, and boring to me. At least the one that I went through.

The Indian casinos are "up north". Many people also drive to those.

That's wonderful. But the Twin Cities is closer to the Northwoods/lake country than Detroit is. That's why it gets my vote.

Shall we do this whole big circle again?

I can drive from Detroit's suburbs to lake country in 45 minutes. And that's not counting the suburbs that have many lakes within their boundaries.
