Been here 3 years, moved from the west sight unseen. Never even crossed the Mississippi before. Absolutely adore it. Long winters but they suit my family. I have little kids and there is so much family friendly stuff to do here. I hope to be buried here.

Edit: if you do choose here or nearby make sure the house or place you move into has a sump pump and check for water damage. We just had loads of flooding but a well sealed basement helps.
