Edge City

1)A book written in 1991 by Joel Garreau

2)A "Suburb" with a large commercial district that takes on the identity of the metropolitan center, along with all others within a particular MSA/CMSA

3)A place which is dependent on the automobile, usually growing up around a mall, freeway exit, and several office parks

4)A place which often was nothing but forest and or farmland prior to 1965, or at most a small town

5)A place where there are often surface parking lots as far as the eye can see

6)The setting of the 1994 Jim Carey box office feature presentation "The Mask." A city plagued by crime and pollution

7)A nationally-syndicated comic strip created by Terry and Patty LeBan about a Jewish American family "juggling relationships, careers and traditions at the fast pace of modern life"

The edge city as Garreau describes it is fundamentally impossible without the automobile. It was not until automobile ownership surged in the 1950s, after four decades of fast steady growth, that the edge city became truly possible. Whereas virtually every American central business district (CBD) or secondary downtown that developed around non-motorized transportation or the streetcar has a pedestrian-friendly grid pattern of relatively narrow streets, most edge cities instead have a hierarchical street arrangement centered around pedestrian-hostile arterial roads.

City Driving

Six lanes one way, you need in the be in the far right lane, you are in the lane next to that. How do you get to this lane? You shoot to the lane to your left, cut back into your lane, then move three lanes to the left one to the right, then to the far left lane, and then cut straight across to the far right lane and take your exit.

Mike: Dude, I hate people with Civics and their City Driving.

Imlay City

A small town in the thumb region of Michigan that is famous for it many gas stations, pickles, and Mexicans. Surrounding Imlay City are vast fields of muck (or peat) farms, which the Latino people seem to be oddly attracted to. In town there is a surplus of exciting things to do, including and limited to; walking around in the local Kroger without purchasing any items, driving around with your date unsuccessfully looking for something to do, vandalizing property, join a hispanic gang, flirting with middle-schoolers at the local Pizza Machine, and smoking pot. Or that one weird kid that always smells like Ass (the donkey) and never washes his hair.

“I smell pickles and Ass....”
“That’s Imlay City for ya.”
