I’m tired of Battle Creek slander
Random post but just thought I’d share. I’m so tired of people posting in the Kzoo or Michigan subreddits asking about Battle Creek and everyone responding it’s a shithole or Kzoo has so much more. Why do people in other places talk so bad about Battle Creek? Does it make them feel better about their own situation? Realistically Kzoo and BC are not that different. The whole “kzoo has so much more to do” thing is stupid to me. Kzoo is slightly bigger with a university and what does that get them? A Costco, a few extra bars, a mall that’s dying slower than ours. And if that’s a big draw to u it’s a 30 minutes drive that people do all the time. I’m glad that there’s more Battle Creek Pride internally but I just wish we could improve our outward marketing. We have festivals every week in the summer, big projects downtown, and a lot of things that should draw more people in. We should be supporting each other as communities not dragging each other down.
