Detroit is one of the very few places in the contiguous 48 states where you can look due south and see Canada. Windsor to be precise.

A sizable portion of Ontario to the east of there is more southern than the Soo. To keep it mildly Beowulf related, there is a nice university nestled in the UP which does quite a bit of computing and simulation work. Some friends went there for undergrad/graduate degrees.
