Zillow the town your looking for
Thing is, most locations can have a shit hole in their midst.
I live way up north, hunderds of miles from Detroit, although I was born in Detroit and was a Taxi Driver downriver for almost two years.
All this tit4tat bickering gets us nowhere.
Michigan is a wonderful State to live in and, while our economy was previously based around the auto industry, we have been diversifying with leaps and bounds.
Within the next week, my small town (pop. 3000) will find out if we will begin construction on a new power plant based around renewable energy. This will bring approximately 400 full time jobs plus all the jobs that come with construction.
Our Governor has done a fantastic job, unfortunately she is being stymied by "the Party of NO (R)"
Owl,
Not ragging on Michigan dude. Of course there are good things about it, just not not the economy. If you think there are alot of jobs, you are on crack. Granholm is a dumb skank. Detroit is not as hardcore as some people think, but the facts are it is has been corrupt for so many years, it has ruined the city. Up north is a different country compared to it. Maybe you are not hit as hard as others, but unemployment is the highest in the country.
They are cutting all the schools budgets. Detroit had the worst scores in the nation for testing, and they have to close tons of schools. Housing market is a fing joke. If you have a house in MI, your stuck. unless you forclose or lose your ass. Atleast there is the Great Lakes, but the lower lakes and rivers have the highest amounts of PCB in the state EVER. Lake St. Clair is so polluted it is not even funny.
Stay up north Owl! Most people could not move, even if they wanted to.

Grand Rapids Baby!!! I started my existance out there...we gets down in the Michi. All said about Michigan is true...you gotta be a survivor. But, Michigan is a great place at the same time....we keep it a lil underground here. If you can make it here...you're a fuckin' pimp
Word. I've been to at least 16 states and Michigan and Pennsylvania are the most beautiful I've seen yet. The impression people have about Michi is Detroit and the economy.....well, we used to be one of the big 3, we have done a lot for the US guys. We only have what...5 major cities here? So, get the cities out of your head...because Michigan is mostly farm country (your welcome for all the food and water folks, our broke asses still pay an awful lot of taxes to keep that shit in tact)...it's fuckin' beautiful here. I moved out of one of our biggest cities and live in a protected wildlife area now....gorgeous!!
Go to Grand Rapids....the bars are amazing, there's jobs and a lot of hot bitches, srsly.
Oh yeah...and we grow some amazing and legal dope here. Michigan also has the best metal scene in the country...hands down.

the people in the midwest are some of the realest people on the planet.
You can move in tomorrow and most everyone would treat you like they are good friends who have known you forever.

Grand Rapids is wonderful, and otherwise, Kalamazoo and Ann Arbor are good towns as well. The common thing between these cities is they do not rely on the auto industry. the entire country is experiencing problems due to the downturn, and shipping jobs overseas. Michigan just happened to be a mostly manufacturing state.
That being said, stay away from Flint and Detroit.
Also, in the summer, Michigan is one of the finest places on earth to be.

Ann Arbor has been pretty much unaffected by the economic down turn. Many jobs. Lots of marijuana

Ann Arbor is pretty much the only liberal city in Michigan, thus the best place for tokers.
Every year, the hash bash is held there on 4/20. Its only a $25 fine for possession.
It has a similar vibe to Berkely, Austin, or Boulder - except with worse weather.
Grand Blanc is OK in that its the best part of Flint but its still Flint and Flint is nowhere you wanna be.

no but when you consider the D with flint, saginaw, lansing, and every other nasty ass city you start to see a picture...
BUT as soon as you go outside the city it can be beautiful... there just is not any jobs and recovery is far away....
