With a population of just 4,286, Gaylord is a sleepy northern Michigan town that offers little in the way of urban amenities. The harsh winters bring abundant snowfall and frigid temperatures, while bureaucratic headaches like the Catholic church abuse scandal linger. Though the area boasts numerous skiing and golf resorts, Gaylord's isolated location and limited economic opportunities make it a tough sell for anyone seeking an exciting, cosmopolitan lifestyle.
