Kalamazoo, Michigan, located in the bottom left of the mitten, was once known as "Celery City" for producing the crop at a high rate, is now a bustling little city with many underrated features that make it a fabulous place to live in the United States. One of its primary draws is access to education: Kalamazoo is a great college town with fantastic amenities for students, young professionals, and families. Both Kalamazoo College and Western Michigan University offer dynamic educational programs, and the City of Kalamazoo promises college tuition assistance to students who graduate from the district.
Kalamazoo is about halfway between Detroit and Chicago, but plenty of arts, sciences, and cultural attractions in Kalamazoo rival some of those in major cities. When you visit the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts, you'll discover work from artists worldwide, including local fine arts students. The Air Zoo Museum is not a zoo but a Smithsonian-affiliated aerospace and science museum with full-sized aircraft and fascinating exhibits detailing the evolution of air and space travel. If space exploration interests you, you'll appreciate the Kalamazoo Valley Museum, home to the city's planetarium, ancient mummies, and displays of the area's history.
Arts and culture in Kalamazoo don't stop there. This city hosts the nation's second-oldest community art fair, the Kalamazoo Art Fair, held in June. Gibson Guitars was born in Kalamazoo, so you know the local music scene is impressive. You'll discover live venues like Bell's Eccentric Cafe, which serves up the best brews from one of Michigan's first breweries, and the Kalamazoo State Theater which welcomes established and emerging bands from across the globe to its stage.
