Honestly, being from Memphis originally, Milwaukee's hoods look like some of the better kept neighborhoods in Memphis. It doesn't really look that bad there. Of course, once you've seen Detroit and Memphis, everything looks pristine. And Wisconsin looks pretty cool, regardless. Wisconsin is friendly and inviting. It's like Minnesota's drunk cousin. 😄

Funny seeing Coors Light, "Born In The Rockies", being made in Milwaukee.

Absolutely honored you loved it here so much Nick! Hope you come back soon!

For regular working people those new apartments are not affordable at all. Even the ghetto is becoming unaffordable.

Moved here two years ago from Dallas and I will never move back to Texas. Love the people here. Milwaukee definitely has big town activities with small town vibes and no traffic comparatively speaking. Plus we get all four seasons.

In the US, There are a lot of second tier cities that are getting love because of how much the first tier cities have gone to shit.

Great video! Born and raised in Milwaukee and can tell you it's even better in the summer. So much to do and not enough time! Thanks for stopping by and pointing out the positive things here.

At just 2:10 in to the video, he was already showing signs of being drunk. Milwaukee is one of my favorite big cities in America. I have a great time every time I visit. I drink a lot.

I'm happy to hear you're having such a good time in our state! That 70s Show was set in Wisconsin, too!

Thanks for the info. I will be in Milwaukee in May for the Metal Fest.

Been watching your channel for years. Thanks for stopping by Nick! Glad you enjoyed your stay. It’s not all bad here but the news always focuses on the drama. There’s good people here trying to do some good. City has been turning around the past few years, slowly but surely.

There are multiple festivals happening every weekend for 4 months when it's warm. That's why Milwaukee is awesome.

I got lost in Milwaukee coming home from the VA accidentally took 41 north which is how we used to go home from Milwaukee as a kid . I realized I was lost and stopped at a store i realized also I was somewhere I shouldn’t be .. fortunately a very nice young African American lady gave me directions then said on second thought let me take you out of here as you will be going through even worse areas and being with someone black will help you even if we are in different cars.. She got me out of there ..I wished I had her name to thank her properly You forgot to mention UW Milwaukee.. you missed staying at the Pfister

Thank you Nick, we appreciate all your work!

Just looking at this brings up so many feelings. I love my state.

happy days and Laverne and Shirly, love it!

You are not lying about the winter this year, the midwest had a very mild winter, i think we only got snow like twice, not even a single big snow storm this year. Only had 1 week of brutally cold temperatures, usually we get at least 3-4 accumulative weeks of sub 20 degree days.

Happy you liked my home city! Check out The Rave next time you're in town.

Lol, love the way you deliver your narration. Yor a gifted orator

Love the architecture some great buildings and homes thanks😊

Nice video Nick glad you still exploring out cities haha nice you had a beer in Milwaukee.

drinking miller high life for 40+ years now and been on that miller tour many times and first time i was 12 with my parents!!was always great tour and great beer!!!

Summer fest is awesome!! Gotta go if you haven't 4 the of July weekend!

Glad to hear that Milwaukee is one city in America doing well.

Great Video Nick, My Mom Was Born There On A Huge Farm, It's Funny She moved to Illinois and had 5 kids, Then I heard When You Said Milwaukee complain about the Illinois moving in was Hilarious! Truly is A Great Looking Town!

25:35 - "Dude! We're hitchhiking and don't know which way we're goin'!" Thumb and pinky out.

Thanks for the awesome video! I get so homesick down here in Houston. I never knew about the tree memorials.

I love Milwaukee. Visit the city as often as I can.

Milwaukee looks great but I rather live in the safer part of it

Don't get it twisted, Milwaukee had the 4th highest murder rate in the U.S. sandwiched between Detroit & Atlanta, and we only have roughly 600,000 people

River west. I used to live there and off north Ave. I love Milwaukee.

Great way to start the video! A great hard rock band called Die Kreuzen is from there!

My neck of the woods Nick! And everything you posted is precisely correct!

Nick, you did a GREAT job on this video! I was born and raised in the burbs here and I have always loved Milwaukee. When I was growing up in the 60's and the 70's we had so much fun ...a big deal to "go into Milwaukee". It was a great place to grow up! I hope you will come back some time, maybe in the summer. Are you going anywhere else in WI? I was kind of hoping you would visit Madison as you may find that city very interesting and unique. If you didn't do it this trip, I hope you will come back and visit Madison then. Anyway, thanks for truly capturing our little neck of the woods! Safe travels to you...

I went to Milwaukee for a summer research program from California back in 2018. I was part of an NSF research funded program at Marquette university. There were a couple girls from the group that were originally from Wisconsin and would always be too scared to walk through the ghetto and claimed that it was the most segregated City in america. Me being from the bay area of California it always looked so much better then what they made it sound LOL. All in all i fell in love With the city. Tbh id move there if it wasn't so cold

Way under appreciated!!

Property taxes are high, but the amount of Craftsmanship you can buy in a old home in Milwaukee is crazy, they are all over the city too, most neighborhoods have beautiful historic homes in various states of shape

Nick- awesome post on Milwaukee (which is Algonquin for "the good land"- LOL- quote from Alice Cooper in Wayne's Word) I live in Cedarburg but work in Milwaukee -(your drone shot by the power plant with the 2 smokestacks is where I work). You most likely took it from our parking lot- MILSCO MFG. we are going on 100 year anniversary this year, and make seats for Harley Davidson, John Deere, Case, etc. See a Harley- we made/make that seat. See a lawn tractor we make that seat- in fact our company did the first padded tractor seat. You were right there buddy!!! Loved and enjoyed the vid!!!

Exactly what I was thinking. A better Chicago

I didn't realize how vibrant Milwaukee is. I love this video!😊❤

Love watching you travel all over the country and documenting the local folks. That takes so much willpower and charisma! Thank you sir! :D

I moved from Milwaukee to Colorado. In Colorado we get "Buffed and fit" and in Milwaukee they get "Stuffed and lit" Glad you experienced it.

I went back to Wisconsin a few years ago. I used to live there a long time ago. My family and I went to a very small town up north and went out to eat on a Saturday about noon. It was the restaurant/ bar/ bowling alley. It was the only place for miles and miles. The bar part was packed not one place to sit and the restaurant part was dead empty not one person in there. I said oh yeah I remember Wisconsin now.

Milwaukee is way underrated so beautiful City

Picked up a beer to sit on my patio, clicked on KZfaq, and this came up. Great timing. Milwaukee is a great city to visit in the summer, lots of festivals.

Being a Milwaukee native, and yes, now in the 'burbs", I was impressed by your honest assessment of both the good and the bad. Obviously, winter is not the most aesthetically pleasing video-wise, but again, you're accurate. Really enjoyed the Green Bay video as well.

YES! you finally made it! Shoutout from the 3rd ward! I’ve met the milverine and have his bobble head lol

I’ve only driven through, but I really like the vibe of the old buildings.

Thanks Nick for interesting video. I grew up in the Twin Cities. Visited MW once for a Marquette BB game and some Miller beer while in college at Duluth many moons ago. I moved south in the late 80’s. Btw - you need to visit towns in MN sometime. Keep it rollin’ 👍

I just re-watched this video. Since you like Milwaukee, you need to come back and go to a Milwaukee staple…The Safe House on Front Street with the secret spinning booth. I discovered how this booth works one night by accident where the secret booth originates and takes you on a track from one business (I can’t say which one because it’s a secret😮) to The Safe House where the booth doors open up and deliver you on the dance floor of The Safe House in true Mke style with flashing lights and sirens. It was hands down the coolest experience I’ve had I think ever! Once inside The Safe House, I think you’d like exploring all the secrets and surprises it holds.

WOW! Charm is putting it mildly....wonder how much a room to rent would be in a MANSION! Drone shots are perfect...

Excellent video Nick! I'm glad you enjoyed my home town. Milwaukee is a tale of two cities. The Eastside/Downtown are incredible. The North/Northwest side are a whole different story. Milwaukee hoods in the summer are terrible. I am surprised you didn't cover Deer District so now you have to come back. You didn't mention The Milwaukee Bucks that's blasphemy in Milwaukee. 🤣🤣As they say in the South Milwaukee is a wet city, plenty of alcohol. People here are extremely friendly. Stay out of the hood in the Summer! Yikes! One of our neighborhoods got voted the most dangerous in the country. If you love Milwaukee you have to come for Summerfest. 🥳

Duuuuuuude you have two ‘uge fans here!!!

Milwaukee really has some huge old homes.

Thank you for liking our city is cleaner than most cities and safer than most of the bigger cities so you in a good place welcome to Milwaukee

I’ve been to Milwaukee a couple of times and thought it was a cool city, especially the historic area. I think it gets overlooked because it’s so close to Chicago.

When in Milwaukee, the Froman Family dines at Mader's German Restaurant.

No one ever goes to the near Southside, between National Ave, South to Oklahoma and up to 43rd St.

Fast fact: I was there when they revealed the Bronze Fonz statue. A lot of original cast members were there as well. Anyway, when they were taking pictures of Henry Winkler standing next to it (he is really a tiny man in person) someone pointed out to him (which he then announced on the mic) that the veins in the backs of his hands are "HW" and "SW", which are his and his wife's initials. Also, a lot of people around here think it looks more like the Joker than the Fonz.

Born here, moved to the coasts when I was 19, moved back when I was 40. Milwaukee has so much going for it.. If they can manage to not go batshit lefty.. there is a good chance this city will make it.

Nick, you're the only person I've ever witnessed pulling off every look from every region of the US. Everything from countryside bunken to upper yooper. I'm still waiting for that south florida style though. . Just put on a poncho and a sun visor if you ever go there.

N. On water 1 mile you'll run into Brady St. 4 blocks long 8 bars.and restaurants.

Milwaukee is magnificent

I really enjoy your channel. With this video, you really came out of your shell. I live in a Boston suburb (an hour north) Newburyport, which is actually a city but acts like a town. Everyone knows each other. It is an old historic seaport town where ships were made and textiles sold. I wasn't born here but have seen pictures of the boarded up windows in our downtown in the 1970's. Nobody wanted to live here. Now the avg house is $1M. If you visit downtown Boston, it is really beautiful. However, there are parts of Boston that are not safe even during mid-day and they look like @12:33. I'm thinking areas like Dorchester and Mattapan. Both are considered "Boston." but you won't see any pictures of those areas on tourist flyers. (do they still make flyers?) I remember when Baltimore, MD tried to re-invent themselves. They created "Inner-Harbour" (I added the U to make it classier). It was initially a huge success with shops, restaurants, and condos right on the water, joined by an enormous curvy boardwalk. It was a huge push for MD. However, I believe today, it is no longer new nor quaint. It was beautifully reborn, yet had a painful death. I'm not sure why. Did Eric, @14:29 own or rent? (not judging, just curious). Behind "Mappy" look at Nick's rotary dial black phone in front of his YT plaque. 😎 BTW, I'm the guy who wears shorts all of the time. I look like I'm either coming or going to the gym. (sorry I keep editing this!). Where did you stay? (if you are allowed to tell us). Bring back the stache!!!!!!! Do you remember the Family Guy episode where Peter lands in Ireland and the runway is full of beer bottles? lol

I don't drink, but I grew up in beer town. I did all right. Welcome to my home town.

I doordashed out in the ghettos of Milwaukee. I drive 50mph all day and never see a cop.

I love how Nick has become da hood whisperer

We don’t drink in Milwaukee it’s for the tourist 😅thanks for making a awesome video on my city

Clydesdales; I always wondered about their stables.

Great video Nick! Keeping it real means a lot. Thank you!

The best bars are in Bayview and West Allis .. Just my opinion.

After a long drinking holiday weekend there, I decided to quit altogether, haven’t regretted it at all!!

Shame on that popular youtuber for standing you up. I learned so much! I don't drink, but I sure enjoyed watching this from my hot bubble bath! 👍

If you go to Milwaukee and don’t try a Ned’s pizza you’re really missing something!

Went to John Robert Powers finishing school there, My band played German Fest for many years, have relatives there, some of the best food in the world here 😊 Bars everywhere in the whole state, great tour Nick!

I got goosebumps when you said this is your new favorite place. My family has been here since 1863 and I love to call it home!

Love all your videos Nick❤

I think it was Leverne & Shirley that was in Milwaukee

Another great documentary of America!

This is awesome

Welfare in Illinois is higher and easier to get than in Wisconsin

I wouldn’t take it too hard about that Milverine Nick he’s small time local celebrity flash in the pan. You sir are big time famous Prestige Worldwide

Grew up in Milwaukee and its by far my favorite Midwestern City. Always love coming back there especially for all the breweries and Beer and German food and the downtown area is really nice.

Love and look forward to your videos bro, this is gonna be another fun one!

Did you see Fonzie running around there?!

Ex-Chicagoan living everywhere. Glad I saw it again quite a bit in 2021-2022 - I like a lot of sections, but was surprised I did not vibe it at all. Zero. A few ideas why. Had good memories visiting Summerfest and a lot of WI as a 80s kid. Visiting again, was like a 80s nostalgia remake/reboot - not as good as the original. In fact, Later had nightmares I was stuck there. Somehow dreams became a nightmare when Milwaukee was the setting. Trying to figure that out. Nothing terribly wrong with it except the gray, and I never feel like drinking.

Hey Nick hope you two are doing well. Yes when we toured the beer plants there, omg they give you a lot to taste lol SHOW US THE HOOD NICK!!! WE ALL NEED OUR FIX!! LMFAO That Biden/Harris sign in front of the burned out house says it all. Both are similar a house fire and a dumpster fire.

Loved that one you did in the MUP

NICK IS THE BEST

Didn't you visit the Deer District? Phizer Forum!

Interesting to me that the homes in the bad neighborhoods look just like the homes in Connecticut and also Ohio. I'm curious why the architecture in these separate states are all the same..... homes built around 1910-1920

I live in the SW suburbs , and it’s completely different than city. We have bike trails that run the span of the lake, mountain bike trails, disk golf, water falls, a botanical garden, a ski slope, a minor league ball park , and golf courses. Having moved from NYC and Palm Beach county, it’s so laid back and relaxed. Nature. Chill . And we are 45 mins to Lake Forest. You are right, we are the little bro to Chicago. You can take the Amtrak to Union Station . The schools are amazing and the health care better. Living is easy. I live in a 4400 sf home and its only 850,000!! Lake Forest thats 2,000,000.We are the best kept secret!

Thanks for another great video! It looks like a fabulous town!

Another great video! I was born and raised in Milwaukee and can tell you it's even better during the summer festival season. I moved to the Madison area during the later part of my life (but now I'm living in Manila in the Philippines) and I think you should really check out around Dane county and Madison sometime. Madison, Wisconsin has all the best things that I love about Milwaukee with an even smaller town feel.

i always amazes me to see how big houses used to be. Family planning did not happen till the sixties. so babies just happened. lots and lots of babies. I'm 63 living in a airstream cant imagine 4k square feet to heat and cool. great vid nick.

Gee...the BEST documentary on Milwaukee I've EVER seen on KZfaq! By FAR! (and NO ONE I've ever seen on previous Milwaukee KZfaqs....GETS DRUNK!...Way to go! Way to mix with the natives!). I'm a FIB who's been living here...off and on...for the last 55 years. Of course I've had to hide my previous FIB history from friends. I hesitate to say this...because the FEWER people who find out about this place...the better...But compared to the east coast, the west coast and "down South", I like Milwaukee the best.

Don't forget UW University of Wisconsin.

Not sure how I feel about admitting this but I spent many nights in alot of those bars as well as dancing on the picnic tables to rock bands down at Summerfest. Haven't been for many years ( getting older, I had my time) but some great memories of hot summer nights, hard rock, fireworks, harleys and yes alot of liquor. We do have museums, plays, ballet, zoos and great lakes in the northwoods for boating and fishing.Vicki

Where the he'll do you live ?,Mr.Nick Johnson ?
