Some of you may want to leave Mi, for reasons that are no fault of her own, and most of the problems your leaving for are "man made" and not natural disasters.
Later in life you'll realize how much love you still do have for Michigan, because there will be some things that you'll just never forget........

one example...
Michigan Fall Color Tours - The Official Directory of Fall Color Tours in Michigan - Pure Michigan Travel


It will also dawn on you that there are more things about Mi, to Love than to hate.
After your gone for awhile(and I suppose this is the only way to truely find out) you will understand just how good you really had it in MI,...one major thing is.."clean air". but there are many more.
You don't have to listen. You'll find all of this out on your own when other states and regions are compared. Once all of this comes to light, you will learn how to adjust your ways and head on back.

Good Luck to those in search of a better way of lif elsewhere...Your in my prayers........suggestion..just stay away from CA.

I have to generally agree with what you're trying to convey. As i'm getting older with the addtion of having lived in and traveled to other states, Michigan is severely underrated as though it is one of the best-kept secrets through-out the U.S.

Case in point - A magazine recently noted that Traverse City, in their list of towns you never heard of, is a gem to behold of sorts. It struck me as ironic that others are just now "discovering" Traverse City.

Michigan is a beautiful state, and there's a lot of it that I miss.

I go back as much as I can.

We are moving to Michigan in 2 weeks to the Kalamazoo area. The short video was absolutely breath taking. Being originally from Colorado; I miss lakes, stream, rivers and most of all the mountains. I know that Colorado doesn’t come even close to the lakes in Michigan but after my husband spent a few weeks their; he said that Michigan reminded him somewhat of Co. We are currently live in Nebraska and we are miserable the humidity in the summer is the worst. You can't even go outside and enjoy yourself because every time we walk outdoors you are automatically soaked and it feels as the breath has been taken out of you. I’ve seen a lot of posts about the winter, I don't know what the winters are compared to Co but I want to be in a state that has all 4 seasons and all the beauty that Michigan has. As for us we would never move to the south with the heat and humidty is % 100 more. Thanks agian for the scenic video it reminds us even tho reading all the megativity on these posts that we are truly making the right choice.

I understand what you mean about the humidity. I've lived S. of Houston, Tx. where the humidity is so bad you can hardly breath. Mi,'s oxygen is fresh bescause of the trees.
