[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No never.Used to live in Milwaukee.[/quote]

This is a city we talked about, any specific reasons why?[/quote]

Ghost town .Very strange.Big buildings but noone walks on the streets.Now the best place to live for schools would be north shore area(Shorewood,fox point etc),while houses are beautiful and inexpensive a lot of them for sale.We still can't sell our house there.Weather is terrible year round.[b]You get one month of warmth(July)[/b].People are big drinkers.You will be surprised to see so many functional alchoholics.[/quote]

Define "warmth." Minnesota native here and I'll grant you that the summers there are nothing like the summers here, but c'mon, more months than July are warm.[/quote]

Well our wedding was in May and I had to wear fur coat!It was pouring and in low 40s.

Well, it was pretty close to that in DC last week!

I'm from Michigan, and frankly, the winters are much more enjoyable there.  It may be a few degrees colder but the result is beautiful snow instead of all this ice and freezing rain.  People love the outdoors in winter-- skiing, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, skating.  Or sitting in your kitchen with a cup of coffee watching the beauty and peace of a good snowfall.  The winters are longer, it's true, but there is plenty of summer weather.  June, July, August are all reliably in the 80's, sometimes 90's.  Fall is beautiful.  You don't get the wonderful long spring of DC, though.  I lived in Boston for several years, and that was a miserable cold-- wet and biting.  Made me really appreciate the winters of Michigan.

There is plenty of diversity in the cities and suburbs.  Also plenty of educated people there.  You'll find the bumpkins more in the rural areas, but that's true of Maryland and Virginia as well.[/quote]
