1. Lack of jobs 2. Harsh winters 3. Limited healthcare options 4. Being so remote. You’re welcome, but these are no different than over twenty years ago, when I moved away from the area, hesitantly. If you have a decent core of friends, enjoy the outdoors, have family in the area or just like your peace and quiet, Marquette is a great place to live. It definitely is NOT for everyone.
I was in a Club at K.I. when the air force base was open and one of the guys said "it's great to be back in civilization" to which I said "what are you talking about? They call this K.I. Siberia". To which he replied "I just pcs'ed here from Shemya. Do you know where that is?". I said no and then he told me it's on the Alluetians and the nearest city is 250 miles west which is Petropavlovsk Russia. Suddenly it didn't feel so remote here😂
Travis is a great guy and is willing to spend his personal time to help you. I spoke with him for thirty minutes on the phone while he was spending time with his family. He took his time to answer many of my uneducated and frivolous questions. He's a real person.
Well--those pesky snowmobiles in the garage are WHY I'm looking at Marquette. Along with world class mountain biking--even nice beaches. I hear they even have a Meijers, now. I can "travel" to Copper Harbor more easily and really find traveling IN Michigan is enough. The out-of-state plates U.P. there tell me we ARe a travel destination. I'll just have my mum string my mittens together so I don't lose them and keep some bread bags around so I can get my galoshes on. ;). But your pants are valid: Not for everyone. Nor is FL....AZ...CA....
Yes correct, no place is absolutely perfect! Every place has their cons. Definitely world class mountain biking here and Copper Harbor! We are for sure a travel destination, more and more each year!
They have target . And a mini highway 100 like Milwaukee just loaded with stores and restaurants. It’s nothing like the rest of the UP. It has some nice desolate parks and such but most will be super crowded and I’m talking endless traffic . Escanaba and Marquette are overpopulated . Vastly overpopulated in comparison to other UP towns .
I went to NMU and then worked in Marquette, Iron Mountain and Ironwood. I left to do some wandering. The weather, the location and the health care wasn't a concern. When my youngest son went to NMU, I still managed to go up from lower Michigan once a month to visit. After he left and went to Colorado I don't think my wife has been back up there. My older son and my grandson and I go up once a year for an NMU hockey game. We also have a forty in Sands Twp that I go up and check on in the summer. I've never considered driving to the U.P. a hardship, I still enjoy the drive.
Honestly that’s going to be hard for me to answer! I mean there’s a decent size hospital in town but I just don’t know enough about asthma and its requirements and need for specialty care!
Thanks for the videos. I'm flirting with moving to MQT from Boston (I grew up an hour from DTW) but the healthcare is really the big downside for me. If it wasn't for that, I'd be there. It's not even really the lack of specialists, Lifepoint is just garbage. I wish that MQT would boot them, or at least have some kind of deal or shuttle service with Ann Arbor or Duluth, kind of like how Sudbury Ontario has affiliations and transportation with healthcare in Toronto. I know that it's not the same healthcare system, but I really think that healthcare is the real achilles heel that's holding MQT back. I mean, when you need care, you're not exactly in the position to want to drive for hours or even negotiate flying in and out of low service airports. On the flip side, I also weigh the fact that a house that would cost me $700K (cash) in Vermont (where I'm also looking) would cost $400-550K in MQT, so that excess money could buy me some first class transport if I ever needed it (I'm currently in amazing health, but the clock is ticking). VT is VERY similar to MQT in any number of ways, economically and culturally. IMO, Vermont is Marquette, with mountains, and Harvard/MIT graduates who are vegan, wear flannel, prefer Carhartt, and like to snowshoe. (If you think that MQT is a small town, look at most towns in VT.) Btw, summer is my least favorite season. It's great in MQT because it's short, and even at its peak, at night it tends to be cool and crisp. The hot and humid part is over before you know it. MQT is stunningly beautiful. The people are amazing. People leave their doors unlocked. It's got a lot of hockey (I grew up in it). For some reason, Lake Superior wows me when the Atlantic ocean does absolutely nothing for me. There are just so many pros with MQT, and I think it's amazingly positioned for climate change (Vermont's real estate went through the roof after covid when rich people were shopping for an escape hatch for global warming and pandemics), but from what I see, it doesn't seem very interested in marketing itself for the future, preferring on relying on the status quo. In today's world, you're either growing or you're dying, and the best I've seen from MQT is marketing itself as a vacationland, which I guess is something, but it's not the kind of leadership that I'd hope for. Best Buy left basically saying that they didn't see a growing, vibrant future there, and I kind of agree with their take. I still flirt with moving there, especially now given that I'm recently laid off at 54 (AI is coming for us all) and am consequently more urgent in my search, but am in excellent financial shape, so I'm looking for my retirement forever home. If you're looking for ideas for future videos, what I would LOVE to see is an investigation of what MQT thinks its future is and how it wants to get there, if it even concerns itself with such things. I tried calling city hall and the economic development group a few years back to get their take on it, and it was like I wasn't speaking English when I was asking them how they were positioning themselves for the future and bring in new people/businesses. Conversely, if you call city hall in SSM or Timmins-freaking-Ontario, they will tell you all about how they are trying to position themselves and attract residents. I would love to see more hustle on the part of MQT because, again, I really think the place is amazing and could really start reversing many of the pretty shockingly negative economic numbers. Btw, what is your kickback rate from Main Street Pizza? Thanks.
Thanks for stopping in and leaving a very detailed comment! I certainly haven’t put that level of research on the healthcare but I can understand if it’s your biggest hangup, for sure do your due diligence! I don’t think Marquette and its residents ever really want an influx of new people and big businesses. Of course that’s not the same for all, but many live here for the fact that it has remained fairly steady in that regard and are here for family and the great place it is today! Oh and no kickback from Main Street! I just enjoy it, but for me it’s got to be the slices! If you buy a whole pie you need to be sure to get a large with extra large crust to ensure it’s fluffy like their slices!
I'm told a lot of specialists go over to Ishpeming. I don't live there or Marquette but that's supposed to be the place. I found Marquette to be just fine for Healthcare. I've lived in Traverse City and people complained about the hospital and Grand Rapids. I don't think everything will be perfect everywhere, just good enough.
I was reading the history of Champion Michigan. I believe it was 1885 when the valentine's sleigh rides were cancelled because there wasn't any snow . That same year it was in the 80's at Halloween.
What do you think about this statement given to me by a recently retired MQT police officer. He is opinion is that Maquette will "love it's self to death". I found it an interesting perspective from a city offical who has lived there from the lowest point in the mid 80's to present. His outlook was positive for visitors, but nuetral or negative for residents.
I in fact think it's a very positive place for residents. The problem is that many agents don't act on their clients behalf and "sell" them on it, yet don't consult them on it for them to make the decision that is best for them. Too many times people will move here and then move away when its just a different way of life in the U.P. is all! It's a great way of life, but many aren't used to it and can't adapt!
@@LivingInMarquetteMichigan We have had very low snowfall this year and every year our average temps are going up. I grew up in Grand Haven and we had the blizzards in the 70’s. Now we have had around 30 inches of snow. I haven’t snow plowed my driveway once this year and I live very close to Lake Michigan.
I mean the last two seasons were much warmer than average. The winter before that cold. Winter before that was warmer. This winter for sure has been much warmer than normal!
Ya, health care is terrible. I travel to Midland Michigan for my heart health issues. UP Health Care really dropped the ball on my heart issue. I heard the health care was bad in Marquette when I was considering moving back. I found our first had it as bad as I had heard. Most jobs up here are in the service industries. Stores, restaurants, hotels, etc. So, as an employee, money isn't great. There are some opportunities for entrepreneurs, I believe.But the outdoor opportunities are incredible. Hunting, fishing, skiing, snowmobiling, atvs, biking, boating, hiking, foraging, and so on and so forth.
If we want Marquette to flourish, invest in higher education. Young people want to be around other young people. They will flock to Marquette if there are educational opportunities that are attactive. Consider the case of Berlin: After WWII, West Berlin was a ruined city, full of old people, surrounded by Communist East German. Nobody wanted to live there, certainly not young people. So the West German government created the Free University of Berlin. Not only was the university tuition- free, but the government included all kinds of incentives to entice young people to attend it: Subsidies for housing, transportation, etc. + exemption from the compulsory 2 year military/community service. Today Berlin is one of the hippest cities in the world, full of young people from all over, including lots of Americans and thousands of Israelis! To accomplish this will political will...Let's turn the Lake Superior Region from a rust belt into an education belt!
Most of these points sound like opinions rather than data taken from a census or survey. What sort of evidence was used or can be checked? It's possible this is why some leave but it's probably a combination of some of these plus 100's of other reasons.
I mean, by all means, feel free to fact check. This is from personal experience of friends, family and clients, online resources like reddit and Quora and others. Yes, likely 100's of other reasons too, but who's going to watch 100 reasons why people leave? Did I miss one, or two or 100? Sure, probably. Anyway, I appreciate the comment and for you watching!
@@LivingInMarquetteMichigan I believe renaming your video with a disclaimer that it's your opinion rather than making it sound like given truth or absolute facts would be better.
Jobs: It’s not just a lack of jobs, but the legacy of harsh work and low pay has led to a harsh culture around work, where many people just accept that work will be nasty instead of trying to make workplaces that are more positive. Winter: I love summer here, and winter…what’s hard is the long months where it’s not either, it’s just unpleasant…35 or 40 degrees and drizzly. I’d add my own: it’s that we’re accumulating urban problems like nasty drug addled bums panhandling, traffic, skyrocketing housing market, over policing of beaches and trails, pressure on popular recreation sites… all these urban issues are arising, but you also don’t have urban benefits like pro sports teams and high end concerts and all the commercial choices and opportunities that come with a more populated area. At times it seems like Marquette is losing the rural feel of the UP, but it’s also isn’t big enough to gain the benefits of city living. just my $0.02 as a local.
@@LivingInMarquetteMichigan I’m a contractor in the Houghton area and stay pretty consistent. I’d be buried with work if I moved to Marquette. I have been contemplating it to be honest. I come down that way every month or two and always stop at Marquette Meats to stock up on prime meat. If you haven’t been there to grab some steaks etc. I’d recommend it. There’s so much more down that way compared to up this way. So many people are focused on other careers and there’s a shortage of tradesmen up here. It makes for a stable career when there’s slim competition.
To raise a family up north does such a dis justice. these kids are at a disadvantage to being raised down below. Most have no idea what is available as far as jobs go. Most are raised on welfare or very low income so they grow up thinking that is normal. If anyone is thinking of raising a family up north in a small town think twice. I was raised up north and shocked when I moved away I got lucky.
I appreciate the comment, but will have to respectfully disagree. I was around many that had the opposite experience. But yes, both situations are totally possible
@LivingInMarquetteMichigan there's just no good food here. Pizza sucks, burgers suck. It's sad when Culver's is the best burger place in town. Chinese food here especially sucks.

Yeah it’s not that bad!! I went to elementary school at KI Sawyer, sometime during my tenure there was when they closed that base.
Born and raised in Marquette....great place to grow up....left when I was 18...no regrets!
Where did you leave to? I left for awhile too and really missed the laid back lifestyle and access to the Great Lake Superior!
Marquette is way too Liberal.
It’s liberal leaning for sure, but it’s not too bad!

Marquette has epic mountain biking. Was up there last year to do the Marji Gesick put on by the 906 Adventure Team.
I 💯 agree there! I’m not much for races anymore, but try to get out as much as possible!
The up is for retired people and business owners for tourists. Or if you work remote
Certainly a good place for remote workers! We’re starting to see more retirees move here too!
@LivingInMarquetteMichigan I am from downriver mi. Finally got a lake house near Atlanta. Next is the UP. Something near grand marias
Grand Marias is awesome! I don't get out there enough!

Love Michigan . I’m a Troll that loves to visit . It’s such a fun outdoors recreational paradise . I say keep it small town and neighborly
I’m pretty sure it’ll stay small town and neighborly for a looong time!
Winter is nuts up there. My grandfather was a cop up there.
It can be, it really just depends what you’re used to!
