Adrian, MI is a town with interesting architecture. The Croswell Opera House is gorgeous and still used for local productions. The historical society building is also worth seeing. It's evident that citizens take pride in their town with the up keep of the beautiful downtown and support of businesses there. The town supports the arts with the Adrian Symphony Orchestra and other fine arts events. There is some diversity here, which sets Adrian apart from many other Michigan towns. The parks look great and there are lots of places for recreation with pools, playgrounds, and ball fields. And for hockey and skating, there's an ice rink. Living here won't cost you too much in terms of housing, renting or buying. However, the big problem in Adrian like many Michigan towns right now is the economy. Unemployment is much higher than the national average. So you really can't move here unless you know for sure there is job for you, or you're an entrepreneur willing to take your chances.
