Traverse City Area - 8/6/2007
Traverse City is a lovely place to visit and to live. The state is doing poorly at present and unemployment is high. What jobs that are available are mainly minimum wage jobs. That being said, if you are retired or self employed, etc .. the Traverse City area has much to offer in every season! The people, too, are very friendly and quality of life, provided money is

The area is very scenic and outlying to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The bays offer a view of sailboats even to those who don't have their sea legs. Come and see this town, it's worth a Read More
