Granholm

An empty building, office, storefront, or research park in Michigan usually with a "for lease" or "for sale" sign in front.

I counted six Granholms on Main Street in Ann Arbor on the way to work today.

I saw five Granholms in a row on 96.

Hey, let's go to the Shire.

carting

Carting is holding on to a shopping from a moving car and then accelerating. Once an appropriate speed is reached the shopping cart is released and it shoots off like a missile. Carting was invented in Whiting, Indiana in the late 70s.

Hey dude, lets go do some carting.
