Will you be downtown Milwaukee or just the Milwaukee area? I spent college in downtown Milwaukee, then like a boring adult moved to a Milwaukee suburb then out to further suburb two years after that.
Obvious advice is obvious, beer is popular so a brewery tour is always highly advised.

Good thing you said something... I almost commented and said “Nice Bitter!”.

What would you like to know? Like any city Milwaukee has it’s bad areas to generally avoid. Lots of breweries and brewery tours. Downtown is in the middle of a revitalization and has gotten much better over the last decade or so.

I live in Madison.
Milwaukee is a blue collar, relatively affordable big city with a nice lakefront, lots of hipster enclaves, plenty of still-industrial areas, and...segregation.
It is surrounded by extremely conservative suburbs where people aspire to live in McMansions, and blonde women of German or Swedish ancestry cake their faces with loads of makeup while wearing bedazzle-butt jeans, cowboy boots, big sunglasses, and drive loaded pickups, Yukon Denalis, or Escalades.
Picture a not-rich, northern Dallas, and you’ll sorta get the idea.

I’m in New Berlin, suburb just west of Milwaukee, and used to live on the south side. What AtlasM said is pretty accurate, although my suburb is all young families and retired people.

Hey, that’s not all the suburbs, just the one’s West and North of the city

Waukesha county? That’s pretty funny. Sounds like there’s actually a few of us on here.

I live about an hour out from Milwaukee (I was born in Madison but live just over the southern border on the Illinois side). AtlasM has it right on the money from my personal experience. Downtown Milwaukee and a few surrounding ‘burbs are awesome...and some not so much.
Likewise, you have a bunch of cool towns that separate you between Milwaukee and Chicago, like Racine or Kenosha. I also like Wauwatosa!
Some places in Milwaukee are actually more welcoming than Chicago too!

So basically, in Wisconsin, Milwaukee is like Raleigh but more people in a smaller area, and Madison is like a bigger Asheville.

Perfect. I live in Raleigh so that will make more sense. What’s the traffic like?

YES! When I called my sister about it she laughed her ass off when I called it Men-Oh0-Mee.
I think it’s Men-Om-A-Nee? I dunno...

I’m right by the border, and drive into it every day for my commute. West Allis has some nice parts, and some shitty parts. The Milwaukee Mile is in West Allis too for your local track day needs.

I’m more of a spectator for things like that. An automatic AWD 3 series isn’t exactly a sports car. But my sisters boyfriend has a NSX so he’s probably there quite a bit.
