21. Marquette goes blue
I could tell when I first went there, they really invest in their community. Then I looked into and my suspicions were confirmed.

With that said, I'm in Traverse City and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. There's plenty of liberals here in this red county. Michael Moore's great State Theater is here and there's lots of culture, a community college, Interlochen Arts Academy and awesome events summer and winter. I live and work downtown so I am lucky to walk everywhere (mostly). Rolling green hills a ten minute drive away, awesome farmer's market, u-pick orchards and farms, wineries on the Leelanau and Old Mission peninsulas. And sparkling blue water everywhere.

I ask you, what more could anyone want?? ;-)
