good small town
Born and raised in Sault Ste. Marie (Soo). Never felt scared to walk down a street after dark. As a child most people still left their doors unlocked, car windows down, most could happen was a local drunk went into the wrong house! Things alittle different now, but still a good place to raise a family. I moved away from the Soo a few years ago. Not enough work, and people know everything about you. So here I am in a huge metro city. Yep good jobs great pay, compaired to the Soo but the cost of living is crazy. A couple could still buy a home in the Soo for a nice price. Ends up the big city sucks. The reasons one leaves the Soo is the same reason one ends up missing it, totally crazy! No place like the u.p. and once a yooper always a yooper! So if you got a good paying job that you can work year round the Soo is great!
