Downtown midland- commons and pedestrian plaza. Visit the local downtown bars in the summer and get to go drinks that you can carry around the “commons area” and the “pedestrian plaza”. Midland closes part of Main Street to cars in the summer and sets up games and seating and hosts events in the hang out area.

Public transit and Ubers are hard to get in the area.
You should have a vehicle to get around. Although if you do not you could easily bike around the city from our area and there are a few taxi options from MBS.
