Marquette, MI
Best place on Earth... -
1/27/2009I have not lived everywhere but, for the many suburbian cities, rural areas, and metro locations I have lived, and visited in the past 20 years I will give my best report to anyone who considers visiting or moving to Marquette, Michigan.
This is a wonderful place to live. Marquette and the surrounding communities have a tremendous recreation, cultural, artisitic, and healthy way of life. For quality of life, there is not one human generated area that stands above all others in what the community provides, Marquette Country offers a well-rounded quality of life. There are many different kinds of people for a University community you have diversity but, many European Americans do reside in the area. In spite of this, there is a generous amount of diversity and culture with the NMU there.
The beauty of the UP and the area around Marquette is incomparable and unsurpassed. The daily touches with nature and wildlife bring rest, peace and relaxation to any resident who seeks a bond with the outdoors. I encourage anyone who has children to consider living in Marquette. It isn't the easiest place to find work, however. There are challenges for those who do not have full-time careers firmly rooted in the community but, if you are willing to be an independent thinker, hard-worker and don't expect GAP or Macy's to be around the corner, you will never regret living there.
Good food, great times, terrific friends and an incredible quality of life.
