I’m fantastic. It’s always been a very conservative area that is a hometown of the Devoses.

What is Michigan in detail? I've lived in DC, The Keys, Cocoa, Daytona and most recently Nashville.

Obviously I love being near the water if possible, and am up for a change from Nashville that has none I know its frigid up there, but I can deal with that. Lake Michigan area seems like a cool spot to live.

I've been watching videos of people traveling through there and am kind of curious how you people feel about the area.

A big vacation/day trip/second home spot for Chicago people in the summer, especially farther south. There's even surfing. Well, something like surfing!

Because there are so many lake homes, there's also a big winter sport and hiking culture, esp. farther north. It's really beautiful!

It's pretty conservative as far as the locals go.
