Mount Pleasant is nothing like this. My family is well employed, and stayed here past graduating from CMU. The nearest mall is 25 miles away, not in Lansing. However, downtown has many small boutiques and locally owned stores, and the typical big box stores are here, so a mall isn't necessary. You don't constantly smell natural gas. Yes, there are oil reserves (not natural gas) and some have flames burning off impurities, but you have to be near them to be able to smell them. These are all located miles outside of town. There is culture, did you bother to attend any performances while on campus? Dance and music recitals through the School of Music at CMU, University Theater, and the Broadway Theater downtown all provided culture, and national touring companies of plays, operas and ballets perform in Plachta Auditorium. Not to mention the pow-wows and Ziibiwing Center on the Saginaw Chippewa reservation. I'm wondering if you ever left your apartment or house while you were here, and even tried to experience Mount Pleasant? Or just sat there, bitter that you were "stuck" in a small town?
