I was born and raised there. I agree with you, it’s such an underrated city. It definitely doesn’t get the respect it deserves. Great video, by the way.

great video! And you proved that Milwaukee is safe to travel to and walk around for a solo woman by herself. As an outsider, besides some crime issues one of the only things I can see that might hold the city progress back is high property taxes. Other than that the city looks fantastic in summer 🍻 Can you please put Buffalo, NY on your itinerary. Hit up Niagara Falls while there. Or do an epic Buffalo-Niagara-Toronto 🇺🇲🇨🇦 bi-National trip? Buffalo is noticeably smaller than Milwaukee but still an under the radar gem

Yes Milwaukee is a great city and many things to do. Public Museum HD Museum and The Brewers stadium is good to take a tour. The Milwaukee Zoo is awesome .However for outsiders, Milwaukee is maybe the most divided city by race in the Midwest. There are places in Milwaukee you take your own life in your hands if you don't know where you are going. Crime and murder rate is high. Most live in the suburbs and those cities are cool too. I'm not saying don't move here but just ask questions before you do move. Winters do suck but it's not as bad in Milwaukee as Northern Wis. It's warmer near the lake in Winter. And they have fests and winter events too. You might have to wear extra clothes though.

@maingeemutt1668 2 жыл бұрын

Milwaukee is no different from any other major American city, they all have their 'hoods. You'll be fine if you use common sense and awareness of your surroundings.

@totlu5137 Жыл бұрын

Most live in the suburbs, then how do you explain the 500,000 of us who live in the city? This comment sounds like someone who lives in the burbs. Like any rustbelt city, it does have its socioeconomic challenges, but two simple rules; Don't go out at night looking for drugs or walking around by yourself in a drunken stupor and you will have no issues.

Milwaukee locked down and masked up early, an unpopular move in some quarters, but as a population center, we were getting hit harder by C19 than the rest of the state in the early stages of the pandemic. There was also a strong vaccination push, city-provided shots at the convention center downtown. This meant that, before delta variant ramped up, we had really knocked down infection rates to where businesses could _safely_ open back up. Then yahoos around the nation who preferred fake cards and quack medicine to actual vaccine had to ruin things for us all.
