That one hick town in the middle of nowhere, that everybody passes on the way to the traverse city area. The residence's income revolves around social security checks and gambling over NASCAR races.

The capital city of China; formerly known as Beijing and Peking. So named due to all the pollution and smog that is so thick seeing down the block is impossible; the only city where you can have a staring contest with the sun and actually win. Pollution levels are so high it has been reported that breathing the air is like smoking two cigarettes.
A small city in Northern Michigan that is also home to a military base and one of the best state parks in Michigan known as Hartwick Pines. It was formerly a logging camp. The architecture and city infrastructure is like a time capsule from the 1950's. Quite a few activities do in the area. They were about to build a theme park there. Just about everyone coming from Detroit or Lansing going to Traverse city has to go through it. About 10 Miles north of Higgins Lake. Home to Spike's Keg O'Nails. Better than Kalkaska.

You didn't get any napkins with your takeout pork fried rice? Womp womp.
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
