United by a love of encased meats, hockey, beer, snowmobiling, deer hunting, and classic-rock power ballads, the folks in Detroit have more in common with citizens in Windsor, Ontario, than those in Wichita, Kansas--while Toronto residents have more in common with Chicagoans than Montreal's population. Much more than a typical armchair travel book, this humorous cultural exploration is filled with quirky people and unusual places that prove the obscure is far more interesting than the well known.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ted McClelland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1556527217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781556527210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Chicago Review Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.24h x 6.54w x 1.05d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Great Lakes Book Awards - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2007 pg. 1191\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2008 pg. 15","brand":"Ted McClelland","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44071128269055,"sku":"9781556527210","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cf39f97d-e4c2-4460-b232-33e9aa0de929.jpg?v=1685434315","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-third-coast-ted-mcclelland-9781556527210","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
