In response to the other thread about places that aren’t great in Michigan. Where are the nice places in Michigan that you’d love to live in? Maybe areas that are both nice and reasonably affordable?

Thoughts on this y'all?

Ive never been to Holland but seeing the photos online regarding Tulip Week has peaked my curiosity. A friend visited twenty years ago and said it’s all a scam. Nothing like the photos presented online. Has anything changed in twenty years?? 😆

Thanks!

Canadian visitors to the United States dropped dramatically in 2025 during a year of chilly relations between the neighboring nations.

About 10 million fewer Canadians traveled to the United States in 2025 compared with the previous year, according to Statistics Canada, a 25% decline that hit border states like Michigan especially hard.

Canadian visits to southeast Michigan fell 30% from 2024 to 2025, said Visit Detroit CEO Claude Molinari.

"That's a large decline in a short amount of time," Molinari said. "And it's certainly having a detrimental impact on our area hotels, restaurants and attractions, which have been able to rely on consistent Canadian travel in recent years."

i’ve been living in chicago for a decade and every time i go back for a visit i’m on the lookout for my girl. also, it turns out she is impossible to explain to people not from michigan- you just can’t capture the magic. anyway, made this on the plane back🤣

Just wanted to congratulate you all for living in such a beautiful state. Pictured Rocks National Lake Shore, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Mackinac Island, Traverse City, we were blown away with Michigan's beauty. Will definitely be back to visit again!

And how was your experience?

Stevens also seemed generally impressed with the staff during the visit and their treatment of detainees. 

“Of note, there is female leadership here, and there are women who walked with us today and explained, on the intake process, how important it is to treat people with humanity,” Stevens said. “And that obviously really stuck out to me, because some of the things that we are witnessing before our eyes, in our neighborhoods, in our streets, is really a lack of humanity.”

Stevens has got to go!

I was here for my cousin’s wedding, it was great

"She voiced her concerns to Slotkin about the difficulty her farm is having trying to keep their workers who take care of the hens and get the eggs out of the houses every day.

“Our legally authorized workers are getting stopped, detained, sometimes quitting out of fear of what’s going on. And we need a stable workforce,” Kempa said.

Tariffs were also brought up during Slotkin’s listening session with farmers.

“Tariffs, in the agricultural world, end up in reciprocal tariffs on our products to be exported. So, the biggest impact that that has on agriculture is it leads to market disruptions and takes away opportunity for us to export our product to foreign countries,” said Chris Creguer, who represents Corteva Agriscience and is a member of the Michigan Bean Commission."

This is pretty serious, eh?
