Hanging by a thread

In general I've found the cities in west Michigan (minus GR and exclusive summer spots) to be dying. Kalamazoo has a decent setting, but if WMU wasn't here it would be a ghost town. Attempts to keep residents in the area by offering assistance with education as long as they kept kids in public schools has still not made up for the absence of any jobs beyond the university in the area. Another college town that provides its residents with a mall to work at, and several service jobs. Chain restaurants, boring nightlife and lots of commercial beer. Beer guts, scruffy faces and ugly places.
