Since the Midwest/Great Lakes region is rarely mentioned, I’m going drop my 2 cents. Specifically Ohio/Michigan Feel free this talk shit about weather, fat people, single moms with neck/hand tattoos, bad food, crusty ground, etc.
The good things are
Cheap rent/housing
Unseen spots
Some good parks
Actually good food (best middle eastern food in the US in Detroit/Ann Arbor/Toledo)
Decent economy (it’s coming back)
Best craft beers even though I quit drinking.
