You've _always_ had that on the CB bands. It's not new and it's not unique 
to Detroit, either.

Hi John and the group.  I've never had any use for the CB band and don't
care one way or another, but here in Detroit you've got potty mouths and
people who step all over one another, and music and the whole rest of it.
The last time I traveled with my mother we could have used a CB, but I opted
to use a local repeater to get help around Chicago and it worked out well.
