We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
Despite its name, the surrounding area is mostly flat and does not feature any mountains or hills. You literally named your town after the one thing you DON'T have. It's like calling a desert 'Ocean Springs' or naming a library 'No Books Allowed.'
Central Michigan University's teams are the Chippewas, and the fight cry is "FIRE UP CHIPS!" Your entire identity revolves around a team that's basically the college football equivalent of that friend who peaked in high school but still wears their letterman jacket to the grocery store.
In Mt. Pleasant, "bird" is the word when it comes to students, professors, alumni and locals. Your culinary scene peaked at a bar called 'The Bird' that serves something called 'Bird Burgers' – because apparently even your food needs an identity crisis.
In 1928, oil was discovered in the Mt. Pleasant area, and Mt. Pleasant High School's teams are still called the Oilers in its honor. The Saginaw Chippewa tribe's Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort sits just outside town. You went from oil boom to college town to casino destination – it's like a midlife crisis that lasted a century.
