Traverse City is becoming very techy. Over the course of the pandemic I have witnessed a lot of folks coming in from Chicago, etc, to work remotely, or to do tech work for one of the decent web/it/finance/insurance/medical companies here.

P.S. we are hiring web dev and analytics/data engineer if you know anyone in the area!

Maybe you could enlighten me on what you see as becoming very techy about Traverse City. When it comes to the companies that I've seen there you have:

- Small computer repair shops competing with big box computer repair

- Hagerty Insurance

- Munson Healthcare (the only health care provider in the 30 mile radius that I'm aware of).

- Finance - There are a couple of banks and credit unions but most of the investment firms I know of aren't based out of Traverse City.

- asure

- atlas space

- oneupweb

- midmark

- salamander

- efulfillment

- 20fathoms

- Healthbridge

to name a few off the top of my head

Traverse City is amazing, but you already know that ;<). However I have problems dealing with winter in East Lansing so I can only imagine how bad it would be up there. You better like snowmobiling or skiing. But for seven months out of the year it's absolute perfection.

You're not wrong about that. The winters can be pretty long. It's snowing as I type
