Review of Kalamazoo, Michigan


Great little city
Star Rating - 5/17/2007
A city decimated by Pfizer. Don't blame the economy on the city. I don't live in Kazoo anymore, but it is a great little city. Very few cities it's size have ever been able to pull off things like the Promise and downtown revitalization, especially in spite of corporate run-aways. Compared to the rest of W. Michigan, it is a bastion of liberalism and progressiveness. And beleive me, living in Texas now I know what a progressive environment is (it ain't in Texas).
