Kalamazoo, Michigan
Yes, there really is a Kalamazoo (so the local t-shirts say) and it has a population of 78,000 people. The name is thought to be of Indian origins but no one is quite sure of it either. Located halfway between Chicago and Detroit, this Michigan city is a very diverse and vibrant place to call home. Upon starting a search for your Kalamazoo apartment, you should know that while the central city area is walkable and there is bus service, you will probably want to have a car. Bicycling is accomodated by 54 miles of trails some of which are useful to commuters.
High on the Arts
Because the city is also home to Western Michigan State University, it has always been a proponent of the arts and is culturally very active. The Kalamazoo Institute of Arts houses over 3600 works of art and has a focus on 20th art. There are several local theatre groups and the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra is world renown. For the sportsperson, there's both a good variety of spectator sports to take in as well as many parks and recreational facilities for personal pursuits.
Rocket Man
Since Kalamazoo has a burgeoning music scene particularly with new world music, finding good night life and music goes together. Regardless of where your Kalamazoo apartment is located, you'll be near either good bars, pubs or lounges. If you prefer small and friendly, start with O'Duffy's or The Green Top. Either might become your favorite pub. Charlie Foster's is very good for jazz while Bell's Electric and the Rocket Star have edgier music scenes on weekends. It's all good!
Sandwich in the Crow's Nest
The college kids all swear by the Crows Nest for its open all night food style. It is really good diner food, and the grilled cheese sandwiches are actually special. The Root Beer Stand is just that, but be prepared to wait in line especially on a spring day. At the opposite end is the upscale and expensive Websters Fine Dining. It's a great splurge place or for when you really want the best in town. Your Kalamazoo apartment will be near many locally owned places, and it won't take long to find your own favorites.
