Non native on the Northeast side of Grand Rapids (actually Grand Rapids Township). Love the whole area! Great place to raise a family.

Davison, just outside of Flint. Nice little town, though kinda boring. I grew up in Flint, still go there fairly regularly, and it is exciting to see some redevelopment going on... it is a long road but you have to start somewhere!

People from all over the state, not just the tri-county area. Very cool!

Thanks for the replies, keep em comin!

Canton here, don't really like it. But I'm still in school so I'm looking forward to moving out.

What am I doing in Gwinn?! Well, living, silly lol. What's out there? Well, lotsa things, if you look. No, I'm not retiring. I'm only 31......We are moving there because the U.P. is gorgeous. Yes, the winters are snowy....but, that's the way winter's s'pose ta be. Yeah, Michigan is drowning in its own horrible employment sorrows (according to some here on the forum) but, we'll manage....somehow. Why? Wanna come for a visit???

Roll out the red carpet Torrid, I'm on my way.

No really, I think your move is an excellent choice. I'm no fan of suburbia so I can identify pretty darn well with your decision. We're moving to Grand Rapids in year since I'm going back to school (originally picked a career that Michigan hates most).. and then after that who knows.. I've never been that far up north (except in Canada) although judging from many photos from friends who HAVE been to the U.P., I would say it's truly a majestic part of our country.

New Haven, just on the outskirts of Macomb County. I grew up in Sterling Heights though.

Will a bearskin rug do??? LOL! We're currently drowning here in Ohio but, I might be able to find the box with it in it lol.....JK, we don't have a bearskin rug. Oh, oh! I have a red throw rug.....Will that be OK?? Hehe! I'm with ya on your suburbia comment. I spent my early childhood in a fairly sizable city in NY but, have lived in little farm towns since then.....Until 4 yrs. ago, when we moved here. I've realized that big(ger) city living is not for me. I'd much prefer most of my neighbors be 4-legged, not 2-legged. Best of luck to you on your schooling! You really should visit the U.P. sometime. It really is a truly wonderful and majestic place!!
