I've been there half a dozen times and it's pretty awesome if you're an outdoorsman. Tons of hunting, fishing, hiking, skiing/snowboarding, kayaking, etc. They have a huge craft brewing scene, 2nd only to California imo. Of course there are shitty areas, just like any other state, but I would live there for damn sure, especially over Detroit.
Not sure what the job market is like so that could be an issue. Are you trying to move?
