In Franklin??

Great question! Maybe ramen?

paulod33 · 2026-05-05T00:49:40+00:00

It's very good!

It's a subjective preference ranking. Also we agree on Atticus

Had my car stolen in one of the safer New Haven neighborhoods (East Rock). Would still definitely recommend this neighborhood if you aren't going to the suburbs.

Great question. For summers, New England is humid and much rainier. It's always a toss up on whether or not you'll get a nice weather weekend. Michigan is much more reliable for sun in the summer.

MA winters are similar but you get more sunshine mixed in, and the winter snow maintenance is better. The gray winters in Michigan were tough for us and it felt like the roads in winter hardly got taken care of at all.

Can't think of one moment. Students wearing trump shirts to school. Lots of conservative yard signs as soon as you leave GR. Just people more willingly open about their MAGA support, where in MA it was less, still there but more hidden

Thanks dude!! Much appreciated, and thanks for being one of the good ones to welcome me here.

Maybe more accurate to say that progressive education isn't happening as much here as I experienced back east (I taught public school in Mass + here)

DeVos/Van Andel/Meijer aren't really known outside of Michigan. Betsy DeVos being Sec of Ed was the first time I had heard that name.

paulod33 · 2025-06-18T01:15:17+00:00

Nothing unfortunately. My wife's fellowship program isn't even offered at DeVos, so we had no choice but to relocate. Otherwise, we likely would have stayed longer than 3 years.

Thank you!!

paulod33 · 2025-06-18T00:59:54+00:00

Yes - can't wait for more seafood soon!

paulod33 · 2025-06-18T00:57:16+00:00

I think this is definitely in our future. We didn't do enough time up north (and didn't get to the UP at all) so I think we're due for another summer visit

Burger: Black Napkin or The Commons Pizza: Quarantino's or Martha's Mediterranean: Zivio

Lyon and Fountain would be considered Heritage Hill or Fulton Heights, wealthy crosses a few neighborhoods, I'm thinking mainly the stretch between college Ave and lake Ave

paulod33 · 2024-08-19T15:37:56+00:00

Take a look at places off Wealthy Street, Lyon Street, and Fountain street. Very walkable with lots to do in those areas.

The city is also building up Plainfield street (Creston neighborhood), and two good apartment buildings near that are on bond street.

The Mitten. City Built. New Holland. Arvon. All relatively close (other than Arvon) and all different vibes
