if i were forced to choose,

5 because of chicago; 1, 3, 7, 8, 11 (black hills) because of the relative scenery.

Maybe Minnesota.

Otherwise, none of the above.

Out of the states you've chosen, my first choice would be So. Dak. (Yea, that's where I'M from. Guess the number one choice for me would be the Black Hills area. So,

1. western So. Dak.

2. Kansas

3. Missouri

4. Illinois

5. Indiana

Just so you know~ my number one pic is because of beauty and the rest are more climate related. I don't like extremely cold temps.

So excited to be moving back to the Midwest! I'll take any of them over the East Coast!

[Jake1256]

Michigan would be the best choice. you can choose between the dense forests, the great lakes, the sand dunes, then you can go to the city, Detroit. or Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, Lansing.etc.

I actually am planning on moving to the Upper Midwest once I graduate with my engineering degree from college, I've lived in the Lower Midwest my whole life and it's getting kind of old. Places like Chicago and the Twin Cities are high on my list. What are the advantages/disadvantages of each one and what are housing prices like there?

Oh, fine. Well, I would have to say the Upper Peninsulars (Da Yoopers) of Michigan because their hobbies are hunting, camping, shooting, and drinking. And they talk funny
