A nice quiet small town I lived in growing up -
3/17/2023A nice lovely quiet town, lived here growing up, everyone knows each other,
the school is small, teachers can focus on almost any student who needs help,
there is a country market, bank, Mcdonalds, and some local business in the downtown area, the only reason I gave the place 4 out of 5 is because while the small town aesthetic might be the pinnacle of a perfect retirement place,
which I agree with As well, I honestly kinda wish there was more business
close by so you wouldn't have to drive 30 - 45 minutes just to get to some specific businesses with specific products you can't get in town that you might need.
Another thing I'd say as a once resident is that I dislike the annoying party traffic from NASCAR & Faster Horses that come annually, at least all the party traffic is located down the road right by the stadium for the most part, unless you live within a mile of the stadium you should still have nice quiet peaceful sleep.

We are doing better as Michiganders! -
3/15/2023The other reviews were during the big 2008 recession when everything was a bit hard for everyone, so the reviews reflect that, nowadays though in 2023 after yet another set of two mini recessions it seems things are bouncing back. There are a lot of new job opportunities and the living situation is cheap while still having some good quality of life for single individuals like myself. Good food choices with restaurants and grocery stores. Schooling appears to be pretty decent with a whole college being in town as pretty convenient. Housing prices are fairly cheap statewide, I'm a born Michigander and I believe in us as a people, we are doing so much better then New York or California or Florida for the fact that things are just cheaper and better quality of life in general. Look after your neighbors, we're all good people on the inside, I can attest that most of us human beings are just introverts with hidden extrovert personalities. It took joining the Army for me to realize that.
