Saginaw, Michigan. For geographic trivia, I think we have one of three rivers in the United States which flow north (the St. John's River in Jachsonville, FL and the Red River of North Dakota are the others, IIRC).
Here's another: There are 83 counties in Michigan. Saginaw County is the only one without a natural lake -- though, for the life of me, I can't think of a natural lake in Bay County (tne next county to the north), unless you're counting the Saginaw Bay.

And, if you're REALLY good at the trivia, that GPS reading above should tell you I'm about six blocks west of the Saginaw River.
