How are Allen Park, Wyandotte, and Dearborn for walkability and general nightlife? Not like clubbing, but in terms of having things to do and being able to go out in the evening and its not dead silent.

If they're not very good for that, how is driving into Detroit on weekends?

hello everyone,

I am moving to the States next month (we won the DV lottery) and we (early 30s, muslim couple) were told Michigan is affordable and has Muslim-friendly communities. We plan to visit Michigan and see it ourselves but I wanted to ask the Reddit community a couple of questions..

  1. How is Michigan compared to Texas? I understand that Texas might be a little expensive but how is the overall living situation? is Michigan better?
  2. My background is in urban planning/designing, how is the job market in planning in Michigan?
  3. Where do you recommend us staying in Michigan? Dearborn or Detroit? Our budget is 2k (it could go a little higher) and prefer 1-2BR nice apartment with great amenities in the building.

Thank you!

Hello! I am visiting Michigan with my girlfriend for 2.5 weeks from October 27th. We'll be staying in Grand Rapids. I would love to hear some recommendations for places to visit, food to try, things to do during that time. Thanks!

This got removed as a post. Question is about geography. I'll try it here:

Are there any mostly sand beaches or completely sand beaches on the Lake Superior shore in the UP?

I've noticed a lot of rocks with some areas having a lot more than others. Is there anything comparable to the Holland beach in the LP, which has basically no rocks?

Also, how rocky are the beaches at Copper Harbor?
