Why I'm leaving Milwaukee!!!

8/5/2006
I have lived in Milwaukee my entire life, and I'm really sad with the direction the city is taking. Although, Milwaukee has a rich culture, it is very segregated. The school system is so bad I have been homeschooling my children. The wages are low here, and most jobs have no room for advancement. Milwaukee is not a place to raise a family let alone a dog. The people here are not friendly, and will stare you up and down and wont even speak. It really hurts that I place I once loved and adored, I sometimes find myself hating. The crime rate is soaring, the drop out rate is higher than the national average, and it is a cool thing not to go to school. The suburbs are nice for the most part, but they are very racist. I'm moving because I have not ever met so many cold hearted people in my life. I hope one day Milwaukee will find Christ, because it sure needs him.
