I love Battle Creek, Michigan. I moved here over 20 years ago and have been very satified with the community. The size is perfect. The commute to work or school activities for kids is not too long yet the city is large enough for just about any interest (Community Chorus, Civic Theater, Battle Creek Area Math and Science Center, dance, sports etc ) My siblings live in the Detroit suburbs and I am originally from Kalamazoo. The smaller size allows my children to participate in Civic Theater, Girls' Chorus, Dance, Marching Band and Cross County Running in a way they would not in a larger city because these programs are too competitive for them to get in and also require so much time in larger cities that they would only be able to do one activity. Like any city, we have problems. Battle Creek has a group of citizens (private and corporate) that care very much for their city and work hard to solve it's challenges. They are our best asset.
Also I not sure how we ended up with no Jewish citizens -we do have a Temple.
