West Michigan, helping turn a previously red district purple.
I actually kind of love Michigan. It’s a beautiful state and the people are generally kind and friendly. But it does have some bullshit, especially when you get outside the cities. Though I suppose that’s true everywhere.
Oklahoma
Call it Champaign-Urbana.
I am juuuust outside the MSA, without doxxing myself too badly.
Chicago is accessible, if I plan around a few hrs drive or an Amtrak that’s not crazy far.
We are collectively mostly left-leaning though the UIUC students prob skew that to some degree. We landed here because it was a reasonably affordable place, close enough to something else to be feasible for holidays, and also close enough to a major ish city that not WFH would be on the table, maybe.
Got here via south central PA, New England, and marrying a girl from Kettlecorn, KS who missed the flatlands.
I miss the mountains, but I’m also sane and honest with myself - the local bouldering place is as close as I’m getting to a mountain, at my age.
That makes me sad, having hiked up plenty of mountains back before I fell off the “fitness cliff”…

I miss the Bay Area, but was pushed out via gentrification.
