I know you've heard about me rave about the beautiful place where I live. Our natural surroundings would take anyones breath away. But if your looking for a urban environment, this is not it. I have to travel about 3 hours to Green Bay to find a real mall. Cost of living is low though and for 100,000 you can buy a lot of house. Because of our many lakes, we have people from Chicago and Detroit who build gorgeous retirement or summer homes here.
