I lived in Milwaukee for 7 years so I can see the pros/ cons to Milwaukee.
I had posted before but wanted to expand a few things from my last post.
Pros: 1. very funny in summer with all the great festivals 2. # of excellent
malls 3. Brady street has a lot of nice shops/ rests 4. Milwaukee unlike
many big cities anymore has a # of mom and pop butcher shops and bakeries
4. # of excellent rests 5. Milwaukee has some very nice museums 6. Miller Park is a beautiful baseball stadium 7.East side and around Lake Michigan is gorgeous 8.# of nice parks 9. # nice suburbs 10. cheap place to live.
Cons: 1.many of the people are simply very rude, uncultured and lack a higher
education 2. very cold in winters, I can't stress enough how rough Milwaukee
winters can be 3. very humid in summer 4. the city is polarized along racial
lines 5. many people from Milwaukee do not like outsiders 6. many people can
only hold a conversation if it revolves around the Packers 7. very high crime
rate 8. awful roads that rarely get fixed right 9. Milwaukee has a "bar culture" which is not for everyone 10. MPS is a total mess, Milwaukee has
a HUGE HS dropout rate 11. race card gets played a lot in Milwaukee
12. Mitchell is a lousy airport 13. not as many professional job options in comparison to other metro areas. 14. many close minded people
Overall, Milwaukee is a fun to place to visit in the summer for the fests but
is not a very open minded city nor very progressive. My biggest problems with
Milwaukee are the harsh winters and how rude many of the people are.
