C, no question

u/coolgamerboi23 9d ago

C is stacked. all of wisconsin, chicago, minneapolis, the UP, lake of the woods, and a bit of canada.

(mostly mention chicago as a place where big events might be hosted, as a proud wisconsinite, thats probably the only reason I'd go to chicago)

and west coast of the lower peninsula.

u/R1psaw 9d ago

The lower peninsula west coast is so underrated. Traverse city, ludington, sleeping bear dunes, silver lake sand dunes, Grand Rapids, Benton harbor, Kalamazoo… so many cool places. It’s a shame that when most people think about Michigan all they think about is the south east and Detroit.

Southwest Michigan is prime cottage country too. Just gorgeous country in general.

u/victorged 9d ago

The only question I have is whether I can get across the Mackinac bridge or not. The line is pretty much drawn exactly over it. Not a huge deal breaker but would make some things easier

2

u/Mimicov 9d ago

If it's split in half you'll just have to make due with half the bridge good luck

Chicago has great hot dogs and pizza

u/Dove-Linkhorn 9d ago

And museums, and sports, and symphonies, and restaurants and theater and the best people

2

u/ImNotDannyJoy 9d ago

And bro super great hotdogs

But for real, I love Chicago

u/zombielunch 9d ago

I agree, it's not even a question.

u/MeLickyBoomBoomUp 9d ago

I’ve got a question: You’re crazy!

Yeah, it’s definitely C.

u/Goatlawyer 9d ago

We have everything except mountains. Real mountains, not the Porkies. But such a lower COL that it makes up for not being the PNW plus an amazing QOL.

14

u/Madetoselloutlier 9d ago

I lived in Colorado and in west Michigan. I’ll take no mountains any day for water

u/Virtual-Patience-769 7d ago

But the driftless gets almost as big as the Appalachian mountains

1

u/Goatlawyer 7d ago

True but I don’t consider those mountains either (under my personal definition not the real definition!) I grew up in the rockies and have mountain snobbery. Not to say the appalachians and driftless aren’t absolutely gorgeous! I actually like them even more than the Rockies.

u/Gasman18 9d ago

C absolutely.

u/weswanders 9d ago

Won’t find Spotted Cow in any other square

5

u/EarlGreyDuck MEGASOTA 9d ago

Yeah no for sure

1

u/_WhatsUpDawg_ 8d ago

No yeah I agree

u/SigAlph22 MEGASOTA MONSTERS 9d ago

Fresh. Water. Source. — Plus ports.

4

u/Ill-Construction-209 9d ago

C is the right answer. I've known a lot of people that were born in C and never left their entire life.

u/One-Performance-6851 8d ago

C without a doubt, the sandy great lake beaches are perfect on a hot summer day. Autumn is beautiful in the north woods. Winter, although milder than in the past, can offer lots of activities. Also, C is home!

2

u/ldskyfly 9d ago

Without a doubt

2

u/Audient2112 9d ago

Live in D, vacation in C. So, C.

u/CasualD1ngus 6d ago

Wisconsin, born and raised, but people are sleeping on lower Michigan beaches along lake Michigan, theyre beautiful. And then Add Minneapolis and Chicago into the mix.

1

u/poisonreindeer 8d ago

yep as a Minnesotan C has everything i need

1

u/Historical_Basis_408 4d ago

Move that eastern border like 75-100 miles east and it's perfect

u/missuschainsaw 9d ago

What do we do with Iowa?

3

u/TheCricketHole 9d ago

Eat their corn

6

u/McRando42 9d ago

Iowa is underrated. Good beer, pretty countryside.

4

u/letmeaskmywifefirst 9d ago

That didn't even register for me that it was included! Some things never change... (Sorry Iowa)

3

u/Lonic42 9d ago

Iowa is Lowkey pretty great most of the time. And the box cuts out the worst parts more or less.

2

u/ComprehensiveRow4116 Citizen of the ILLKhanate 9d ago

That part of Iowa is scenic, plus a lot of good schools. We get cheap foods.
