And now I come down to Wrigley for the Cubs-Brewers games, have been doing this for the last 8 yrs and everyone is friendly and nice. All the problems at Miller Park are from the Wisconsin Cub fans who start trouble at the games in Miller Park.

Coincidentally, several years later a new job took me to WI and we lived in the Town of Peshtigo and my kids went to Peshtigo schools.

Lol as a Wisconsinite, I always remind fellow cheese heads and other Midwesterners that without Illinois we wouldn't have our resort vacation towns like Minocqua, Door County, Lake Geneva and The Dells. The Chicago & Illinois folks with the $$ helps our tourism. I easily have more beef w/ Minnesota and their teams. I always say FIB stand for Fellow Illinois Brethren.

Learned a lot of things about a lot of words in French. It's also fun to say Detroit as Day-twah (the 'correct' way to say it) around literally anybody who has ever been anywhere near Detroit, they will go bonkers, gotta sit em down on the Davenport so they can chill off.
