Hot Take:
We’ve always known Michigan has more to offer than just automobiles and Detroit Lions’ questionable performances. Their cities don’t just feature picturesque views and friendly folk, but they are also amazingly walk-friendly. Mad props to Ann Arbor for claiming the crown. This news is sure to have the town’s sneakerheads and those sworn to their Fitbits popping champagne (or should we say, energy drinks?). However, the well-hatted urban dwellers with a penchant for Uber shouldn’t feel left out. Remember, a city’s walkability may be just one factor in choosing your ideal home, but who are we to dissuade leg day enthusiasts from following their pedestrian dreams? After all, cities in Michigan are seemingly saying, “walk to your heart’s content – who needs calories anyway?”
Forging paths in pedestrian-friendly places means easier access to amenities and perhaps, a smaller carbon footprint to boot. So, whether you’re keen on lacing up your trainers every day or dialing a cab while wearing bunny slippers, there’s a city for you in Michigan. Just remember, walking might become your next ‘thing’ in these cities – or at least, your fanciful excuse to buy that next pair of stylish sneakers! Walk on, Michiganders, walk on!
