Review of Kalamazoo, Michigan


Not worth the time...
Star Rating - 3/27/2008
I stay in kalamazoo because of the kalamazoo promise.My teenagers are both guarenteed 100% of the promise and my youngest teenager has 2 years left of Loy Norrix before i can go anywhere. I also have a 2 year old who i will never let go to kalamazoo schools. In the last few years this town has gone downhill. There are NO jobs, NO places to let teenagers hang out safely, NO good schools, and NOTHING to keep people here. The weather has gotten almost as bad as all the neighborhoods! I would never recommend coming to kalamazoo for more than to visit someone you know that is stuck here!
