I was raised in a small town in western Michigan. Although I lived in suburban Fruitport, I commuted to suburban Grand Haven for school and church events. I prefer the suburban lifestyle because the urban setting is too crowded and often filled with crime while the rural life is too spread out in terms of population. I like privacy, but I also want next-door neighbors.
I didn’t really see changes in my small town growing up. I was very sheltered, as I’ve stated before. I’ve been away from home back in good ole Michigan, and since then Fruitport has grown and is bustling with business. I hope Fruitport doesn’t become like big cities like Muskegon or Grand Rapids, because of the quaint things about Fruitport was the quiet and the kind neighbors where everyone knew everyone and where a friend was the next-door neighbor.
I’m not sure what my current town of Woodbridge would be considered, but I’d love to have a smaller town when I’m ready to settle down with a family. After all, suburbs like Fruitport are the perfect place for a family. J
