Don't Waste Any Time In Coldwater, MI User Rating 1 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) It's always shocking to find a place like Coldwater, Michigan that has absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever. After living in Coldwater for just over a year I moved on. It was simply too depressing to remain there. Not only is the crime rate the stuff that nightmares are m ...Read More ade of, the people who live there simply don't care. They are allowing their neighborhoods to fall into a shambles, with trash and debris strewn about everywhere, homes that are in desperate need of repair, junk cars in the yards, and an overall sense of neglect. The school system is one of the worst in the state with astronomical dropout rates and embarrassingly low graduation rates. Even the weather in Coldwater is cloudy and unpleasant most of the time.


During my brief time there I found a few things to do for enjoyment such as visiting Adventure Zone, the Robert W. Browne Aquatic Center, the Tibbits Opera House, the Wild Winds Buffalo Preserve, and the Air Zoo museum.


The only thing I can recommend when it comes to Coldwater, Michigan is to avoid it at all costs. Read Less
