I now live in Michigan after being in about 10 other states in a 35 year work career, and before that I grew up in MI. The map may be quite humorous, but many other locations definitely have their plusses beyond what good old MI has to offer. Don't be too envious that you don't have snow for 4-5 months of the year and that you don't have a state full of "snow birds" that defect and live elsewhere except the summer time.
If Paul Simon or Art Garfunkel actually took 4 days to hitch hike to Saginaw they are the only ones who ever came back with bragging rights to put into a song, except for Lefty Frizzel who "Found My Love in Saginaw, Michigan". The odds are stacked against it. But other than going to downtown Saginaw to view just a few abandoned buildings, PM me and I can actually fill you in on some actually nice locations to see that may be one of a kind all around the state.
