Imlay City

Although I don’t live far from Imlay City, it is not a place I really ever visited until I heard about the Blueberry Festival. Of course, being a vegan, I figured this would be right up my alley, and it was. It takes place every August and there is plenty of art, an antique car show, an outdoor movie and a ton of food and craft venders. You immediately get a feeling of just how close and friendly this community is.

I would have to say that this is close to being split down the middle of Caucasian and Hispanic residents, and it definitely feels like a safe place. The housing that I saw was quaint, in clean neighborhoods, and filled with a ton of kids playing outside.

Imlay City is about 15 minutes from Lapeer, which I’m guessing is where most people work. I know that they have their own school system so I’m guessing it is small, offering plenty of attention.

There is a bunch of little shops and restaurants all along N. Van Dyke Rd, but I didn’t see a shopping mall or too many specialty stores. Therefore, I think you would have to go to the city for a lot of stuff.

Highway I-69 is right there so commuting is easy. One thing I really didn’t notice any of though are parks, small or large. Maybe there are some small ones hidden in neighborhoods?
