Michigan - 8/25/2012
My husband is q Michigan native. However, he move out of the state due to his career. We now have move back to the state and have live here for 5 yrs and we have really enjoyed it. Michigan, especially the Detroit area is just like in many states, yes...the economy is slow, yes...crime has overtaken some cities, especially Detroit and some surrounding areas, yes...the school system can improve, yes:..the number of abandoned buildings are a major eyesore. Overall, this state is very beautiful. We love the nature parks and trails, the crystal clear lakes, the multicultural festivals in the summer, the easy access to Canada, which we live only 4 hrs away from Niagara Falls in the Canadian side. We love the four seasons. Bottom line, you make the place you live how you want to be. If we ever move from Michigan, we would like to move to another state the offers the same or more like it.

climate - 7/28/2012
I love Michigan. I have lived here all my life and love the four seasons. Snowmobilng in the winter, fishing and swimming in the summer. The highs you get when spring comes and the anticipation of getting the annuals planted and watching the perennials come to life. It is a great place to

Michigan is Home - 7/17/2012
I grew up in Michigan so it has become familiar to my family and myself. There are so many great things in Michigan and it offers one of the best school systems in our country. However, there are many changes that need to be made for Michigan to get back on a route to success.
There is one thing that may never change in Michigan..... That cold, cold winter and the beautiful changes in the seasons. Michigan is home and there is no place like

Weather great for raindeers and santa - 7/14/2012
Although I have lived in this climate all my life, it leaves something to be desired with the cold winters and unpredictable weather during the other parts of the year. I remember it snowed in May one year. Go figure! For those who like cold weather sports such as sleding, skiing, snowmobiling, etc. .. this would be the perfect

Living in Michigan - 4/24/2012
It is so beautiful in Michigan, especially further north. You really appreciate the seasons since you get four. You wouldn't love winter if it wasn't for Summer . Spring wouldn't be a relief if Winter never came and the joy of flowers blooming along with a warmer breeze. You wouldn't love fall if it weren't for the changing colors on the trees. It's a great place to live as long as you're in the right city, every city, state etc... have their flaws, but if you can find a place that hasn't been run down with abandoned buildings are overtaken by crime, well that's about as close as it gets to Heaven.. in Michigan. Grew up here, only leave to visit other places.. couldn't leave for good... Fall is when I feel most at

Depressing, dark, not much to do, flat, no big cit - 2/8/2012
Don't move here, trust me. I've lived in NY, NJ, NM. ALL of them were far better choices. Now I'm stuck in MI for near a decade and it feels like a decade spent wasted. I'm indoors ALL THE TIME just like every other resident. People from here try to defend this state with it's "beautiful four seasons" but come on- MOST states have clear four seasons without the extremes that michigan experiences, such as PA, New Jersey, New York, Vermont, Connecticut, Virginia, and about a dozen more. It's as if the folks here believe fall and winter dosen't exist outside this state! As for wintery fun- sure, if you own a snowmobile or live near where there are man made mountains for skiing, because there is no mountains in michigan. I've barely even seen 4 hills, and I've been up and down, west and east across the entire state. I've been to every "major" city and there's just nothing here folks. There's a few pockets with money and shopping etc, like Auburn hills, but you have to have loads of money

Leave Detroit - 9/27/2011
Detroit, Michigan has to be the worst place to live, property taxes has sky rocketed, unemployment rate is the highest and not to mention the crime. The weather is horrible, I'm older now and trying to relocate to a better place to

Not bad..... - 8/18/2011
I have spent my whole childhood in MI and its a little dull and boring. But comparetively, this is a nice state cuz when you look at Kansas (yawn) or Illinois (also yawn) you'll appreciate going to Lake Michigan's many gorgeous beaches, many golf courses, our gorgeous upper peninsula and the countless inland lakes. You will also find that this state is much more forested than many other states in the midwest. But unfortunately the winters can run pretty long like for instance we got 6 inches of snow at the end of April this year....and the only other draw back to this state is the bad economy....so jobs are harder to find right now. But overall im fairly happy to be in

Great Lake State - 1/18/2011
Wonderful state if you enjoy all four season's. There is always something to do outside. If you don't like the weather just wait 10 minuets it may get worse.
