Kalamazoo is a college town and industrial city in southwest Michigan, home to Western Michigan University and Kalamazoo College. Its economy has deep roots in pharmaceuticals, dating to the Upjohn Company, and Pfizer still operates a large manufacturing site in neighboring Portage. Medical device maker Stryker is headquartered in the area, and paper, food processing, healthcare and advanced manufacturing round out the base. The city is also known for the Kalamazoo Promise, which pays college tuition for graduates of its public schools.

Kalamazoo sits roughly halfway between Detroit and Chicago, about two and a half hours from each, along a busy stretch of I-94. Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport is just south of downtown, so a private flight makes visits to medical device and pharmaceutical operations, the universities or nearby Battle Creek, home of Kellogg’s cereal legacy, practical as a day trip. Visitors come for the Air Zoo, Bell’s Brewery, the Gilmore Car Museum, the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts and the lakes and wineries of southwest Michigan.
