I was born and raised in Bavaria, Germany until age 12. Spent the next 56 years in San Diego. Moved here 8 years ago to be near my grandson. I love it here. Reminds me of my native Germany.
I studied at WMU in Kalamazoo in the early 90s and as a young person (and poor student) then, I didn't appreciate the finer things that the city offered. I live overseas now and I wish I could go back to K-zoo to visit the museums and places featured here!
I was born and raised in Kzoo but I’ve been living in the Washington DC area for 21 years now. I still miss home sometimes. Love seeing videos like this highlighting our great city! Kalamazoo will always be home to me 🥰
I graduated from WMU 17 years ago and have very fond memories of my time in Kalamazoo. I left Kzoo (and Michigan) for the West Coast when I finished school and haven't been back since, but miss it at times.
Thank you for doing this video. I’m interested in moving to Kalamazoo. I want to go try Layla’s pops. I’m so stoked that Gibson guitar is made there and the Kalamazoo promise that’s fantastic. I don’t have any kids but I do have grandchildren.
As a resident of the city of Kalamazoo, Michigan, I have to advise you that the city has been reducing the number of car lanes on the major routes to and thru the downtown area. My experience has been less traffic volume and more backups during prime-time travel. Four lanes of traffic in many locations have been reduced to 2 lanes and greater travel time. I have found it better to go thru residential areas and avoid the traffic backup, especially morning and evening rush hours. My personal travel time during the daytime hours has increased an estimated 15% in the affected areas. While curbside parking spaces may be a bonus, just limit yourself to avoiding downtown unless you just can't avoid having to be there. My viewpoint and observations
We appreciate you allowing us to send CO fecal matter on our streets to your legal fecal matter on the sidewalks city, remember kids, wipe your shoes off before going into mom's kitchen! Kidding, live in it and remember when your govt. isn't representing you (thinking you don't want this) you must chase them gone off earth as we have too many problems without making this business to create death a law.

As a 44 year resident of the Zoo, I say thank you for doing us right! Probably the best video I have seen about our awesome city.
Looking forward to be the K-zoo Resident this Fall. Looking forward to connect with residents already.
Is it the park full of junkies you love so much or is it the rampant homelessness downtown ?

The people of Kalamazoo are amazing. Hands down, it's a great place to live and work.
So born and raised in the zoo. And I must say this was a fun watch glad to see the good side of this city sometimes
