Midland, Michigan SperlingViews

I moved to Midland for school and thought it was awful. After school I moved to Orlando, FL. After four years in Florida I am really striving to get back to Midland. For raising a family or just enjoying the better side of life(relaxing and peace) I think Midland is a great town. Unlike Orlando Midland has no traffic, decent sized lots, low home prices, nicer people and is overall a great small town.
