[nfbmi-talk] places to live in Michigan

Sat Aug 17 22:12:57 UTC 2013

Hi,

I do not live in Ann Arbor but I have been going there for over 50 years and 
have friends that live there. I believe that Michael Patton gave you good 
info. Ann Arbor does have good transportation. The Detroit suberbs are busy 
places. There is a lot going on  in Ann Arbor. It also seems to  me that 
Kalamazoo is a good place to live. I have a friend that lives right down in 
Ann Arbor because it is real close to his work. His rent is quite expensive 
but he likes being near work and in the downtown area.
I do read a lot about Detroit getting more folks employed as well as Grand 
Rapids. Just  my two cents. By the way, if you want to sign up for 
NFBNewsline when you get back, give me a call at
517-258-0632.
