What is life in South suburban Detroit like?
139596
I am from the northern suburbs of Detroit, and I do not like the downriver area. Just didnt seem as clean. I know there are some good restaurants down there, and the school system at Flat Rock has become a "school of choice", meaning non-residents can attend the school. Usually the better public schools become a "school of choice". If it wasnt a good district, they wouldnt want to bring in extra students. The high school is only 5 years old and has great facilities. It is a smaller high school as it only has 500 students. I have never heard of much to do in the south suburbs, and I have been all through and around Detroit. You may find yourself going to Ann Arbor or downtown Detroit frequently, unless there is something downriver that I dont know about. I know there is the Big Bear Lodge, I heard that has a decent restaurant. The cost of living will be like the same as the northeast suburbs, moderate.

GVA Marquette Advisors is the company that does detailed studies of the area you refer to. "Apartment Trends" is a quarterly publication they publish that has detailed info. I would suggest contacting them to ask if they have a current edition and where it is available. Their info. is more detailed and current than US Census data I saw for 2005.\n\nhttp://www.gvamarquetteadvisors.com/site/in.htm\nMinneapolis/St. Paul\n\n333 South 7th Street,\n\nSuite 2300\nMinneapolis, MN 55402\nPhone: 612-335-8888\nFax: 612-334-3022

depends which part of georgia...atlanta isn't all that bad for a southern city...but for some reason the people driving around are the worst drivers i've ever encountered anywhere, so if you don't mind risking your life on I-85 and other streets there on a daily basis, its not that bad of a place to live.\nas for what your future will be like or how much you will enjoy it...well that really depends on what you are into and what you like and look for in an area where you live.

Detroit isn't giving away bus tickets... they are putting all the homeless up for the weekend.  Three squares, nice warm bed, big screen tvs.. and lot's of "pop"...  I haven't been downtown in a few months... I know it's looked better the last year or so than in any of the last few.  As far as the roads... get used to it.. it's going to be like this till the end of time.

I live in south OP.  Deanna Rose Farmstead.  Go there in the morning.  You will enjoy it!  Bring some quarters to feed the rabbits, fish, goats, etc.  My girls just went there yesterday.  It is south of 135th. St. down Switzer Rd.  You can also go panning for semi-precious stones for a few bucks & go fishing with rental equipment & all provided there really cheap!\n\nAnother really fun thing to do in  south OP is Paint, Gloss, & Fire or in old downtown OP, go to All Fired Up!  It will cost you about $15 to make some pottery craft.\n\nThe July 4th celebration down in Stilwell is the greatest!  Drive south down 69 HWY/Overland Parkway to 199th St. & turn left.  Park at the gas station.  That's where I'll be the night of July 4th. Hope to see you there!\n\nIf you like ice skating, go to Pepsi Ice Midwest at about 135th & Quivera.  Or go to Power Play in Shawnee.  It is a lot of fun!

I do not want to say for certainty you will not like it.  More detail would be good to make a better answer for you.  Cleveland is now considered more a family city, so if you have a family you will probably like it.  I suggest living on the east side, there is more culturally to do, and more diversity.  I have lived here a long time so if you have some questions, email me by clicking on my name.

You probably aren't going to find much of anything about Senatobia.  It's a small town where the biggest thing going for it is the local Wal-mart...and I'm not saying that to be ugly.  It would be a little of a drive, but living in Senatobia and driving in to Memphis to work is something alot of people do.  Driving to Tunica and working for one of the casinos could be an option as well.  I don't know of a specific career website for the area, but good luck with your job search.

I was born in St. Pete, and raised there till I was 18. Then I moved to Michigan. I think that we are friendly and considerate people. From what I've heard St. Pete isn't what it use to be 10 years ago, but then again everything and everyone changes!

You mean Windsor Ontario? I live there too. On the week-end it's kids from Ohio who aren't 21 yet.

Not from there, but know it well. I just drove that area the past two weeks. I go down to Destin every chance I get, so driving through Georgianna, Mckenzie, Crestview, Niceville etc. to get there is a real kick! Is that where you are from?\n\nI'm an Alabama girl myself. Born in Birmingham....but now living in Nashville. Let's here it for the south!! :)

Sherman Oaks or Studio City.  Both really nice areas with lots to do.  Shops, restaurants, bars, etc.  Just a very nice place to be and it's also easy to get to Burbank.  No freeways are needed.  I used to do that commute myself.

We moved here from Chicago a few years ago to Birmingham. My wife practically had to be forced onto the plane when I came down for the interview. Now, she wouldn't move back for all the money in the world. Here's why:\n\n1) Great people. Forget all the stereotypes. You can find friendly, thoughtful, enlightened people in Birmingham. It's a university-driven town. And as far as the racism goes, I head more racial slurs in one week in Chicago than I've heard in five years in Birmingham. \n\n2) Surprising cultural scene. My wife sat on several boards in Chicago and was absolutely amazed at the diversity of cultural opportunities here. The ballet is first-rate (only one of a handful allowed to perform Ballanchine), the symphony is pretty good, and you have a host of music festivals, film festivals, etc. etc. What's more, the arts are far more accessible in Birmingham than in other larger cities. Oh, and every other year, this city seems to produce a Pulitzer Prize winner. Must be something in the water here. My house is only 2 blocks from where Walker Percy grew up. \n\n3) Great restaurants. Seriously. And I'm not talking rib shacks here. \n\n4) Natural beauty. We were expecting flat and dry. It's hilly and gorgeous here. And the winters, although chilly, are relatively mild. \n\n5) Way of life. The people here work hard, but it's not all about the money. Gracious people, well-mannered children. Oh, and when you move here, people actually bring you food to get acquainted. I never realized people did that until we moved here.

Look for the sites of the papers of the metro areas you're interested in.\n\nExample:\norlandosentinel.com\nmiamiherald.com

Nothing like you would expect.  It's more conservative than a lot of other places you could live, but the Mormons don't rule the place and shun everyone else like the rest of the country thinks (first hand experience, growing up in the midwest and accidentally moving here).  It's a clean, safe city...  Big enough to have plenty of things to do but small enough not to be overwhelming.  Not to mention that pretty much anything that you want to do in the outdoors is more or less at your finger tips.  I'm surpised how much I like it, really...  I was bracing for the worst.

Its a good place with lots of nature  eg. lot of lakes and well developed cities , only thing its very cold like chicago and new york so check out the temperatures if you are from warm areas. Population is mostly european and asian. Lot of business , Land is also reasonably priced - good place to settle down.
