Someone Said This Is The Most Iconic Street In Michigan

There are hundreds of thousands of streets in Michigan. People know some streets better than others. Sometimes it could be because of the streets' retail location, its nightlife scene, overall entertainment, or historical background. They just happen to be the streets that people always visit or have an impromptu photoshoot.

When it comes to the most iconic streets, some people may instantly think of famous boulevards, famous avenues and famous roads from movies and TV shows. Amongst those famous roads would be Lombard Street in San Francisco, Abbey Road in London, the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles, Broadway in New York, and more. These roadways make their towns complete, offering those who are traveling a chance to appreciate history, modern destinations, and eateries.

Many streets have the ability to define a town, giving those who visit an experience.  Though several streets can bring about road rage or are heavily impacted by traffic, there are many streets that are loved by the people who often travel them.

According to Savoteur, a travel site, every state has an "iconic street." They named the most iconic street in each state, including Michigan.

It's no surprise that Michigan's most iconic street is Woodward Avenue. The "iconic" avenue runs 27 miles from Detroit all the way to Pontiac. According to Michigan.gov, long before Detroit was incorporated as a city in 1815, Woodward Avenue was established as a primary transportation path by Native Americans. It was known as the Saginaw Trail and later became a wood-planked "corduroy road" for wagon travel.

Whether you're a longtime Motor City resident or an occasional visitor, this street in Michigan is one of the most iconic streets. You can view the full list of ‘Most Iconic Streets in Every State’ here.

Have you ever tried a fragrance and thought to yourself, "Wow, this smells awful?" Then you wonder why and how anyone would ever enjoy that smell. Just like our sense of taste, smells are based on preference. For example, your friend may like the smell of corpse flowers (the worst-smelling flower in the world) and burnt hair while you like the smell of roses and bonfires. 

"Most people assume we all like the smell of roses and hate the smell of skunk... with the exception of irritating odors, smell is something we come to know from personal and cultural experiences." noted lead researcher Rachel Herz, PhD, in a 2005 Brown University study.

Alan R Hirsch, the founder and neurological director of the Smell and Taste Treatment & Research Foundation, explained to NPR that “the factors that influence our sense of smell are actually a combination of cultural, genetic, and environmental factors.”

There are certain smells that almost everyone loves. From the new car smell (which may not be good for you) and freshly baked bread to Sharpies and gasoline. People enjoy a variety of aromas and find some more pleasant than others. The scents we smell can change our moods and emotions. Sometimes, it can even bring us back to long-forgotten events and memories.

Here are 10 unusual smells most people enjoy.

It's probably not because it can make you high. It may have more to do with nostalgia. Sharpies and markers tend to smell like childhood to some people.
