    If you head south from Detroit the first foreign country you’ll hit is Canada.

    There’s also Angle Inlet, Minnesota which is the only place in the contiguous United States north of the 49th parallel. To travel to Angle Inlet by road from other parts of Minnesota, or from anywhere in the United States, requires driving through Manitoba, Canada. It’s a really weird border.

      Due to its high latitude and being in the middle of a continent, it is a contender for the most extreme winters in the contiguous United States.

      Two square miles & 54 residents in North Bumblefuck, separated from the rest of the US by 60 miles. It’s an affront to reason.
