You don't know how important it is until you lose it. I moved to South Carolina, an hour from the ocean. I miss being able to head to the lake.
It was also great when i was trying to figure out directions lol
I moved to Lancaster, SC nearly ten years ago. I'll never return. Being so far away from the lake or anything to swim in sucks ass. Swimming is my favorite sport. Landlocked places are hell for me.
It’s strangely important for me.
My wife is wanting to move from our current house that is about 3 blocks from the lakefront. I love where we are near pennoyer park and the bandshell + pickleball courts.
For me it just feels refreshing being where we are. Air feels good, water itself is cooling on even the hottest days, and outside of when we get swarmed by the out of towners, I love walking around the lakeside paths.
Never left kenosha for long enough to really know. Went to Arizona on vacation a few years back, and I couldn’t stand it, so idk how important a huge body of water is, but I definitely won’t be moving to the desert anytime soon.
For me it isn't just a large body of water. I was spoiled by living near a couple of the world's top beaches and traveling to others and that is what I miss.
I will tell everyone and anyone, IF you get the chance to go to Australia, GO!!!!!!! Sydney has some awesome beaches and places to see.
What an incredibly huge change moving from Australia to here! What is your favorite place in Australia if you had to live there? I think Perth has really grown and is amazing.
I lived in a sub of Sydney, Kogarah Bay. I absolutely loved it. Spent some time in Canberra, Brisbane and had a nice 2 weeks on Hayman Island but Sydney was/is amazing. The beaches, the food (meat pies OMFG!), the people, the things available to do. Even though I was there 2 years, I didn't get to Aires Rock, Adelaide, Melbourne or Perth. I know, I know.
I learned to play Rugby (huge fan of the Sea Eagles even though I lived in St George), cricket, squash and Aussie rules but my primary was soccer and played for my first club down there which will always have a place in my heart. Just so many things to do for anyone and the people were so welcoming even though I was a yank.
I came back because my family is here and I have had a great life but I tell my family that IF I go back, I am not coming back. It was that great.
It's important to me. But it means you have less restaurants, companies and other things within your radius. That's Fine for me. the lake is nice, but you know I think a smaller lake would be enough for me.
Well, by pure logic, the first towns, cities, states to go first are the ones that rely on other areas for water so it’s quite important to me. Look at Jericho, Damascus, Athens and Varanasi, they thrived for over millennia cuz they were in close proximity to fresh water sources, this’ll be super important when people will have to mass migrate off of flooded or hot areas in 2-4 decades or areas that have dried out of water towards places like the Midwest. I’m lookin at you, phoenix. Housing prices in the Midwest are gonna skyrocket too if that’s the case since there’s gonna be such a high demand to stay out of heat advisory areas for the spring/summer/fall and for fresh water. The way things are goin, I’m more than glad I chose Kenosha/Wisconsin for the future while things are still ok
I love it, personally.
Grew up down here swimming in the lakes, moved to the La Crosse area with access to all the rivers, went to school in Eau Claire and spent a lot of time on the Chippewa. Now I'm back living in Kenosha. Our old place in uptown was an 8 minute walk to wolfenbutel and I would go to the beach every day. We moved 5 minutes further west by car and now I never walk to the beach. It is a great sadness but the trade off is I own my house and also there's no drive-bys. I absolutely want to live by water over any other nature features.
Some of my favorite memories are waking up early in September and waking 5mins to pike creek (where it connects to Lake Michigan) and salmon fishing. When I turned 18 I joined the navy so I’m always on/right next to the ocean now but I still miss Lake Michigan
Not much to be frank. I grew up not living near one, and when living in Kenosha I was a mile or so from the lake. Sure it is great that it is there, bout it is something to visit on occasion more than anything.
Different strokes for different folks I guess. Moved from NC to here. I was 5 minutes from the ocean, then I was 45 from the ocean, now I'm here and I'm 5 minutes from the lake. Nothing really changed besides the traffic.

If I didn’t live near this big lake, I would be lost. Literally. Can’t find my way without it.
It's part of my daily life, I could never live away from a Great Lake.

I love that water shortsges are never going to be a thing here.
You wish…
Okay, so how are we going to run out of water assuming your municipal tap comes from lake michigan and not counting a failure of equipment.
I grew up on the shores of Superior. Being close to Michigan is a nice substitute.

Been away for years. And it’s the biggest thing I miss.

I try to get as far away as I can from the water. I'll never live "on" the water. I'm only in this area because I'm too established here.
