In recent weeks I have been enjoying Michigan’s fall tourism advertising campaign, called “Pure Michigan.”  The radio ads, voiced by Tim Allen, are very appealing; “The Greatest Show On Earth” is excellent, but my favorite is “Nicknames”:

“Let’s go to Jack Town. To Tree Town. To Hockeytown, Ypsi and Kazoo. Let’s go to cities and towns so rich in character, so steeped in their own culture, and so sure of who they are that they go by nicknames. Let’s go to G Rap and the Clem. To A Squared and the D. Let’s discover their restaurants, check out their museums, shop in their stores, listen to their music, sleep in their hotels. Let’s go to Cereal City. Paper City. Furniture City. The Capitol City. The Motor City. Let’s go to cities and towns that aren’t like other cities and towns. And they’ve got the nicknames to prove it. Let’s go to the cities and towns of Pure Michigan.”

How many of those towns can you name?  (No cheating!)
