Whats wrong with this picture?

Is it me or is there really nothing to do here? I'm so interested in music and art but I usually have to drive 45 minutes North just to get a taste of it. Sitting between Detroit and Toledo not to mention not that far from Cleveland why isnt there a bigger music scene here? I really like the idea of Cafe Classics open mic night every Wednesday, I almost stopped by when I saw what looked like a huge crowd of teenagers hanging outside. I wonder if they are thier for the music, certainly not the coffee I'm guessing. I think some just hang for the hell of it, which isnt bad but isnt good. I'm pretty sure the number of teenagers is greater than the number of college aged artsy farts like myself. Having a community college is good but take a look at Ann Arbor, its always exciting, things to do not one coffee shop but like 2 dozen coffee shops. We need some diversity here, we need more than one good coffee shop, we need a few more open mics, and a few new places for people like myself to hang. I feel at home in downtown Ann Arbor, Detroit, and South Bend, Indiana. On one of my many trips to Notre Dame recently I was observing all the surroundings and all the hang outs, and to tell you the truth I never really saw a ton of little kids roaming around, there might have been a few more elder people there but for the main part it was people of age 20-30 maybe. Here it seems that theres a ton of small children and Elderly people here; nothing wrong with that but it doesnt make the "scene" any more impressive. I need inspiration and a whole new culture to study and I cant find it here, if anyone knows where its at tell me please.
