Review of Milwaukee, Wisconsin


I think Milwaukee is amazing
Star Rating - 2/6/2009
Milwaukee is an amazing place. I'm not sure why so many people complain about it. Yeah, it's cold. Yeah, we drink. Yeah, we tailgate. Yeah, we're sportsfans. That's who we are. We love a good deal. We're all about a summer picnic or a fall campfire. We like the local, small bars and festivals like Summerfest. It's NOT Chicago. It's NOT LA. It's NOT NYC. It's Milwaukee. We're appreciated because of that. I know there cons to living here, but just like any other city. We're a little segregated and we still need to rebuild some of our streets and the downtown area, but I think we have to award some credit to the city's efforts. They've reconstructed a major part of the highways, they've revamped Milwaukee Street (with an upscale night scene), there is newer housing on North Avenue, new shopping districts, museums, and more. What it all boils down to is, if you're looking to move here, do your research as you would any other place. Find a good area to live such as the places Keith has mentioned. There are a lot of amazing things to keep busy with.
PS-Keith, my mom is from the Czech Republic! :)
