Royal Oak 

An inner-ring city bordering Detroit MI where affluent, majority white, young-ish and Boomer-aged families reside and congregate in the "Downtown," which resembles an upscale hospital food court.

Many of its residents will visit another inner-ring city, Ferndale, which is the gay equivalent and slightly less racist, with the intent to gain cred by claiming to have visited Detroit over the weekend.

Royal Oak is, in essence, a county psychiatric ward's worth of imbedded trauma, but completely saturated in Botox. The city's main potential, however, is that it will one day become Southern California but in the sense that it's actually Datona.
When I retire, I want to move to Royal Oak so that I can relax and finally use slurs in public but call it refinement.
