What makes a City?
3 basic cornerstones are what any family looks for in choosing a community to lay down roots in...#1-Quality of schools
#2-Quality of jobs
#3-Relative safety/crime rate
With the incredible physical and natural resources that Michigan City pocesses, there is no reason that all 3 of these factors cannot be held to an elite standard. We sit with beachfront access to Lake Michigan, with easy interstate and train access to the city of Chicago. These are all bonuses that many communities can only dream of. Where Michigan City has fallen down is that our school system has consistantly underpreformed the rest of the state of Indiana, and even area school systems. I also believe that the first cornerstone becomes the most important factor in an area, as study after study has proven that education is the one thing that can help a person overcome a lower socioeconomic status to put them into a quality job and safe community.
