Detroit -5 EST

I see Detroit is grouped under New York -4 EST, it should be Detroit -5 EST

@sdenike I am confused:

Hey! Thanks for the reply, and yes, while it would be the same date and time it is usually specified as its own selection as far back as I can remember. I guess its more of an aesthetic thing rather than a function?

This is basically for historical reasons. Detroit started using Daylight Savings Time in 1916, 2 years before the rest of the US in 1918.

Today though they are the same time zone.
