Why People Leave WI
This post from Playground Politics is dead-on right; there is nothing cool about Milwaukee.
It's a dying city, a red-headed step-child of Chicago. Talk to anyone living there and at some point in conversation, they will tell you the last time they were in the Windy City - as if that is where they imagine they are living.
By the way, those of you from Milwaukee, no one who portends to be as hip as Milwaukeans think they are would call Chicago the Windy City in conversation.
Milwaukee is to the U.S. what Warsaw is to Europe; a city trapped in time by the socialistic policies of a militaristic ruling elite. And I am not talking about the Seligs.
Think of Milwaukee, and beer, Harley-Davidson and maybe Summerfest come to mind. Visit Milwaukee, and see a baron lake front, an abandoned river, and a neon-clad casino lighting-up a pathetic skyline.
Kenosha, now there's a city on the rise.

I'll take you up on that offer, my ole friend. But the truth remains, WI will lose yet another congressional seat due in large part to the mass exodus from WI, originating from Milwaukee.
Are you effin' kidding me?!? Kenosha?!? WTF?
You have got to be smokin' something. Milwaukee is a great city. I agree with daily. If you come here and check out the development that is running rampant, you will see exactly what daily and I mean.
Great city, 'Nuf Said!
The water is great out here in Waukesha.
'Nuf said? I think not.
A great city would insist on a baseball park on the lake, so the rest of us could experience the great city. Instead, Milw politicians and business leaders bent-over for Bud; oooooh, we can't lose the team, again.
Until Milw does something dramatic, like elect a Republican mayor (hell, even a black mayor would be enlightening for a city with a near black majority), the city will be a cobbled mix of empty warehouses, tract housing, empty restuarants after dark, and one tall building.
Oh, almost forgot, you do have a casino. Even Mayor Daley wishes he had one of those for his city.
Empty warehouses? Like the ones being turned into condos in the third ward? Oh yeah, those ones...
Where the F*&K on the lakefront do you propose to build a Baseball park? How about on the summerfest grounds? Maybe over VETERANS PARK. Those vets get enough praise, right?!? Howsaboudit we puts it just south past the Hoan bridge in Cudahay?
For the record, I voted for Pratt (only because I knew he would get endited on campaign finance fraud and be removed shortly). Oh yeah, I also voted of Clarke. He is black AND a republican.
Excuse me, for Clarke. In the primary of course...
