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.

OVERRATED! i live here and i make music that isnt typical house, rap, indie rock, rock or metal and i have nowhere to go. new and different is something nobody will allow or wants to touch. House music dominates over 50% of the clubs here as if its the "new big thing". and it was, in 1994! rap music has about 40% of the bars/clubs. oh yeah and most the clubs are as big as your apartment! there are a few larger bars/clubs but they still feel really small and they get so crowded you cant move and its all top 40 pop music.
looking for actors or to do a film project, GOOD LUCK!
musical celebrity-Coo Coo Cal (currently in jail? or moved)
film celebrity-some guy that got his movie on IFC.
they still claim Heather Graham as one of their own even though she moved out of milwaukee to L.A. when she was 12, long looonng before she was famous.
---a lot of famous indie bands (and even famous famous ones) skip over milwaukee. next time your fav acts go on tour ask yourself why so many skip milwaukee!
--looked into joining the green party and only 5 40 year olds show up for the meetings. im moderately liberal but big on the environment.
--every sunday 4 black people are on the news because 2 got shot and killed by the other 2 over the weekend. sadly im not kidding, at all.
--the brewers and the bucks wont pay for coaches and the teams cant make it to the playoffs.
--a lot of racism
--republicans seem to like it.
MUSICIANS AND FILM MAKERS RUUUUUUNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!

moving to chicago
---the hot girls at the clubs downtown tend to be "models". there are no models in milwaukee, they are strippers. all of them
--guys downtown all seem to be rich independent contractors or landscapers. yeah right
---i went and saw 2 dj's spin one night and they both totally totally blew their sets horribly beyond horrible. they ended the song at the synth build/bridge to the peak! if you dont get that, its like the guitar player throwing his guitar into the crowd before the song is over, but doing it 5 times during one show!
-advertised for actors/actresses and got 4 responses. 2 were from chicago.
--nobody is anybody around here in the music scene because no one besides the shitty house dj's can make a living on their music.
--the South Park episode where they send the guy from 2 years in the past to Des Moines says it all, only Milwaukee is 10 years behind and as far as the segregation goes its more like 50.

A city on the Lake Michigan shore line which many people believe to be a better city than Chicago, New York, or it neighbor to the north Green Bay. With a failing school system and sports teams most people vote democrat and because it has such a large population turns Wisconsin into a blue state. when talking to someone from Milwaukee use small words.

Wisconsin's largest city and where all the colored folk inhabit when forced out of the rural communities. It's a place for all the small town kids in neighboring areas to go when not tipping cows, mudding, or consuming vast amounts of beer and hard liquor. Provides great summer entertainment with many varities of festivals-most importantly summerfest, the largest music festival in the United States. Milwaukee also holds the best concert venue, The Rave. And if you survive a night of drinking here, go to state street in Madison during a badger game or on Halloween.
For instance, I was dominated at Summerfest in Milwaukee by all the Wisconsinite drinkers. I am from Illinois and can't compare the to the awesomeness of those professionals. I should not be allowed near a vehicle and should have my license immediately revoked for being such a fuckhead driver.

Milwaukee? Oh yea, that's Chicago's largest suburb! People in Milwaukee call Chicagoan's FIB's. Well, Chicago takes pride in it!

A case of liquid diarrhea that is the result of drinking too much beer (a product of Milwaukee) that comes out with enough pressure that it produces a froth in the toilet water. Also known as mixing party mud and the beer shits.
I drank an 18 pack of beer last night and this morning I woke up my wife making a Milwaukee Latte in the bathroom.
