Emotional ties to Michigan bring entrepreneurs home

The reasons many return to Michigan run the gamut. Some are lured by the desire to be near family and friends. Some see an economic landscape ripe for entrepreneurial opportunities, and others are heeding a call to invest in their native state and help bring Michigan out of its lingering slump.

Ryan & I went home to Lansing this last weekend and both got crazy, crazy homesick. It really didn’t hurt that the weather was unbelievably perfect and things were looking up from last time. I would really love for it to be realistic to go home but I am not sure what I would even do there. Maybe I could figure something out.

Ohio just doesn’t do spring like mid-Michigan and Cleveland just doesn’t do anything like Lansing. Except, you know, employ me.

This is just a collection of things I think are neat.

A general overview of 'things I think are neat':abandonment/the post-industrial midwest, anarchism (syndicalism, insurrectionalism, etc), race/ethnicity (esp. defining/constructing the boundaries of whiteness), gender, class (talking/thinking about class generally seems to be an underrated activity), health care (access to, the experience of obtaining, etc), art, science fiction, punk music, conservative talk radio and anthropology (which probably incorporates almost everything else about people).
