Well, Royal Oak has sort of come into it's 'trendieness' since the late 90's. I remember going there right after graduating (97) and it was just becoming hip. But it isn't big enough to have tons of stuff to do.
Why didn't they go to Ann Arbor? At least there are tons of different things to do there? But I guess getting to Detroit every day for work would have been a bit of a haul.
But saying Detroit is sort of false advertising. You think these kids will be thrust into a rough, very unfamiliar environment and that it might actually be more than a sex-fest...but nope! Same old...
