Detroit (where I grew up) has two enclaves, Highland Park and Hamtramick. I briefly lived in Highland Park. When visiting some folks in Chicago and mentioning that I lived in HP, they misconstrued and thought that I was from the luxurious Highland Park near Chicago. As if that could have ever happened!
