with the exception of the segregation, Milwaukee is actually a really cultured and amazing city. i mean, there's stuff going on every weekend. you can get any kind of ethnic food you can think of. there's lots of really cool stores downtown, great indie movie theaters, a bar on every corner, good local bands, awesome comedians (ok i'm biased because they're my friends). there's concert halls and theatres, sports arenas, the East Side, Historic Third Ward, Water St, Brady St, Summerfest (the largest music festival!), plenty of colleges, museums, etc...

and downtown Milwaukee is just booming like crazy. seems like every time i drive through, there's another new luxury condo going up. and the greatest thing about Milwaukee is how cheap it is to live here. just yesterday i was taking a tour of this place (the units i checked out were anywhere from high $200s to low $400s) which would easily be in the millions if it were in NY. you get wayyyy more for your money out here.

the only things i dislike about Milwaukee...

1. no NY-style pizza (have to go to Madison for that)
2. bartime is too early
3. electronic music scene is crap

and yeah, after i dumped my ex i found myself a great midwestern boy.

yeah i love milwaukee... i dont know my way around too well yet, but im moving there this fall and going to UWM so i'll learn eventually

Minnesota > Wisconsin.

We've known it for years, it's time to face up to reality.

lmao... all you guys have going for you is a bigass mall, which is far too family oriented and is smaller than one in canada... ewww canada

AND

10,000 lakes... wow.. big deal... we have more than 10,000 lakes too!

Wyoming even has less people than Alaska, imagine that, more people would rather freeze their ass off then live in Wyoming!

more people live in the city of milwaukee than the state of wyoming

Yeah, but everyone who lives south of the U.P. are trolls living under the bridge anyway.

And seriously, MSP owns Milwaukee. I mean, the Brewers? Is that even a pro team still or are they in the Minors?

I was born in wisconsin, moved to minnesota and am now living back in wisconsin again for skool.

As far as the electronic scene is concerned minnesota owns wisconsin. Theres really no argument WI could make against MN. and minneapolis was voted the #1 most fun city in america last year, ahead of cities like los angeles, nyc and even las vegas.

boo ya for mn, good thing i'm moving back there in 2 weeks. but then down to nashville tennessee in august.........

It doesn't really seem like it, around here, you go through like 20 miles of 'burbs before you him Minneapolis.

Very gorgeous place. Prime for fishing. Much of nothing there... but it's pretty.

speaking of the brewers, man do they suck. it seems like every year they start off in first and end in last or second to last next to pittsburgh. damn them brewers.

i agree with tyler though, there is definitely NOT an electronic scene here.

However. . .

Blue Shift is in what state??????

Fuckin 'Sconsin. . .WTF!?!?!?!? The promoter is from the good old MSP and he throws his biggest shit for you guys. . .

Maybe. . .

He's trying. . .

To. . .

Help. . .

You not suck so bad!!!!!!!

LOL, j/k I love 'Sconsin. You guys got Honey Weiss, cheese curds, and you threw Psycosis 7

Posted by Omega_Blue on May-03-2005 05:56:

and the lineup for blueshift is...?

i overheard some court tv special about a murder in green bay. the description of green bay was roughly - "A city obsessed with football. a town where beer and brats were a common breakfast item."

come on now, that just makes wisconsin look like a bunch of fat drunk slobs. which we're not. right?!?!?

Posted by DJ_TWiLiGHT on May-03-2005 06:00:

DJ_TWiLiGHT - i work in a suburb of Milwaukee, about 23 miles from downtown, and the suburbs don't end there. and i work in an office building, not on a farm, heh.
