The largest city in Wisconsin (580,000), situated on Lake Michigan, 90-miles north of its big brother of Chicago, Illinois. Although the city proper population has fallen, the metro area is actually more hip than places like St. Louis, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Detroit, and is easily a smaller version of Chicago. It has a decent nightlife with its bars and stuff. The Milwaukee area is home to much beer production and Harley Davidsons, the most obnoxiuos monstrocity God created. Milwaukee--in many respects--is a very decent metro area of 1.6 million to live in, due to its proximity to Chicago and cheaper cost of living. It's even a good alternative to living in Chicago.
Milwaukee was the setting for Laverne and Shirley and Happy Days.

Milwaukee may not have the urban sophistication of New York, Boston, Phil, San Fran, Seattle and L.A., but it is decent and owes its decency to its proximity to Chicago. Milwaukee owes Chicago a whole lot of gratitude.

Get the Milwaukeemug. A city of almost a half million residents in the Central Valley of California perhaps best described as a 'starter community' for people in small California towns who want a larger city, or people seeking a new life in California at a reasonable price. But dont expect much excitement around here, because life is dull beyond belief. Fresno epitomizes Cowtowns and relies on agriculture for its economic well being. Nor is it a good place to live for young, active adults because there are no jobs, nothing to do, crime is high, pollution problematic, and street gangs everywhere. Its only saving grace is the affordable cost of living compared to the rest of CA, but it isnt worth the enormous sense of boredom you get by living here. Fresno consistely ranks among the top US cities in violence, unemployment, pollution, car theft, gangs, teen pregnancy, alcoholism, welfare and drug abuse.

Get the Fresnomug. Someone who takes advantage of situations and people to get what they want. They put material and superficial things above people, and their wants over the needs of others. In a way, many politicians are also opportunists because they take advantage of the socially downtrodden to shove socialism and more government down our throats.

Get the opportunistmug. Poor whites lacking means of and ignorant in birth control and therefore breed like rabbits without the financial means to rear children. Whitetrash are often percieved as possible drug users, low educational attainment or rural dwellers but often live in urban areas, most often trailer parks. They can often be seen in Walmart. Sometimes confused with hillbilly or hick.

Get the lobbyistmug. Columbia Broadcasting System and a subsidiary of Viacom. Known for being a network that routinely makes bad decisions caught up by scandals and corruption. As an example, its longtime anchor, Dan Rather stepped down amid a scandal invlolving false allegations about President Bush's military tenure.

Get the CBSmug. The Hoosier State. Calls itself the Crossroads of America. The epitome of "flyover territory." One of those Midwest/Great Lakes States with a very slow pace of life and too many declining Rust Belt cities. Indiana is almost nothing but a flat, dull, boring, drab, lifeless, cornfield hell. There are basically no large cities, but its capital and largest city of Indianapolis (12th largest single U.S. city)is the state's only city to come even remotely close to being a big city. Indiana is about the only state (with the possible exception of Ohio) you will find a manufacturing plant next to a cornfield. It's abundance in boredom is matched by its many declining Rust Belt cities: Gary, Michigan City, South Bend, Kokomo, Muncie, Anderson and Terre Haute. Even Indianapolis proper, with the exception of the rest of the metro area, isn't growing much.
Indiana is very quaint and definately not Colorado or those mountain states. There is no geography or picturesque scenery. There is no mountains. No water. No shoreline. No beaches (beaches next to steel mills on Lake Michigan don't count). Nothing to do. No cool places to see, much less anything to write home about. No opportunities to get out and enjoy nature--that's why so many people are so fat. At least Michigan, Wisonsin and Minnesota have opportunities to enjoy nature with its water and stuff. Ohio at least has 3 the R&R Hall of Fame in Cleveland, and Columbus is a neat college town. Tennesssee at least has Graceland and numerous bars in Memphis while Nashville is the home of country music and the Grand Ole Opry. Illinois at least has Chicago, America's 3rd largest popuation center and an awsome world-class city. At least Pennsylvania has neat, historical Philadelphia. And at least Georgia has Atlanta, which is quickly becoming an international center. But Indiana has NOTHING!!
It's 6.4 million Hoosiers (14th in population for some reason)as its people are called are also, fat, unhealthy and stupid. Indiana consistently ranks among the worst states in education and ACT/SAT scores. Most people, like me, leave when they graduate from college creating the brain drain, because there are no descent, much less good-paying jobs for college graduates. The people are also stupid. They continue to re-elect the same stupid, uneducated, ignorant politicians like themselves, that continue to screw them. And they refuse to get out of their antiquated thinking to change anything, even when it behooves their state. They consistently yell about taxes that are wisely used to improve the state's antiquated roads and other things. They routinely and ignorantly blame their good Governor for the good things he has done for Indiana in the past several years. Like I said, the people don't like any change, even when good. Hoosiers also have among the highest rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and smoking. Hoosiers are also racist and generally talk bad about blacks (who comprise 12% of the state) and Hispanics, especially Mexicans.
Like I said, Indiana is good for nothing and is a dull, boring, drab, lifeless cornfield hell. It is a terrible place to live in general. I grew up there until I was 23 when I found a good job, and moved out and NEVER to return. Good riddence. If only I could get my family out of there.

I grew up in Indiana for 23 years and can say, with confidence, that it is among the worst states. I don't know how/why 6.4 million people can live there. Only Kentucky, West Virginia, Mississippi, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska are worse.
