Summer is right around the corner, and I get giddy just thinking about all the summer fun ahead of us in Michigan. Seeing the light at end of the tunnel from the pandemic is a great feeling, plus knowing that most of the craziness from the last 18 months is behind us. Time to get excited and start enjoying the outdoors, festivals, and concerts again. And of course, spending more time with family and friends.

Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life.
