- Milwaukee is a great city. Once home to the world's tallest completed habitable building, Milwaukee today has some of the best stadiums and architecture in the country. I used to visit Milwaukee often for work and I've been looking forward to making a video about this city. Thanks for watching: Milwaukee Overview | An informative introduction to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

I'm from South Africa and will be moving to Milwaukee mid 2023. Can't wait to explore!
Welcome to Milwaukee. How do you like it so far??
This is the exact kind of stuff I want to find on a CZcams rabbit hole. The fact that it's of my hometown just makes it better
The most underrated larger mid-size city I've visited. So many quality attractions, venues and corporate hq's. Food is spectacular with the friendliest people anywhere imo. Truly a great place on a Great Lake.
@@TimothyFitch Pittsburgh is cool, KC is poop.
I’m a Chicagoan and love visiting Milwaukee. Totally different vibe then my home city. Milwaukee has a lot of potential. I really like the bluffs over looking the beaches and how built up the restaurant scene is along its rivers. I can’t judge MKE on its crime since I’m from Chicago, so I’ll stay quite on that front. Anyone visiting Chicago should definitely take some time to add Milwaukee as a stop. I might ass Chicago is best experienced by foot, but Milwaukee is best experienced by boat.
I'm Milwaukee born and raised and a proud Miltown boy, this city is like a big city within a small town. I love the history about the european settlers that came here, the architecture, and it's by a huge lake. Besides the Harley museum, art museum, and Summerfest, there's still a lot to see and do here
Uhm no. Not really.
Same here. My great-grandfather arrived here in 1860 at the age of fourteen and became a house carpenter. His son became an architect, as did my father, so you could say we played a part in building the city.
There were many attractions not mentioned in the video, including the Villa Terrace museum, the restored Pabst Theater, and the Performing Arts Center where one can see the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra.
@@MyLady22 Huh troll?
@@erynlasgalen1949 That's cool to hear
Alot of amazing bars to explore. Great restaurants and of course the now famous over 60,000 thousand fans outside bucks arena for game 6 of finals! Im proud of my city and both my family mexican history and history of latinos in milwaukee
I traveled the country, fell in love with Milwaukee. So I moved here! It's my favorite city in America. Thanks for this rad and informative video!
Welcome to Milwaukee.
@@donaldewert2332 Thanks! I've lived here 3 years now, and there is just so much to do. I love it!
It is a great city! Thanks for the comment!
@Nosson Rossman Milwaukee doesn't stop for the winter. They still do fun outdoor things and just embrace it. It makes it fun still. Being right on the lake, it's not quite as cold as the rest of Wisconsin (or even west Milwaukee). It's pretty beautiful in Wisconsin in the winter as well. I'm OK with it. Plus I travel a lot, so we take warm trips in the winter as well
We'll probably always be overshadowed by Chicago, but I'm starting to think it's a good thing. I'm not sure I'd want this city to be super crowded. 750K to 1M would be perfect IMO.
idk higher pop. sounds cool on paper, make us more "legitimate" but honestly I can think of more people I wanna get rid of than add lol
and I used to think the same thing but I dont even buy into that we're 'overshadowed' anymore. we arent the same, we're not trying to be the same.
& Chicago don't fw us either, I like to visit chicago but they can keep that shit
@@darkskinwhite Yeah 1M might be a little high....but I would like to see this city get to about 750K with metro of about 2M....like slightly bigger version of Denver or Minneapolis
@@JRob1125 I dont disagree, but when I think about that I envision either them continuing to buy up the Northside, pushing the poor people around further turning the Southside into the Northside, to build more big ugly apartment buildings since theyve run out of space downtown/3rd ward/Eastside. that's if we're talking about the city, the greater metro area has a lot more room
- or -
100k+ low income individuals come to the city which youd think would drastically increase the homelessness problem (which is real bad in places with winter), plus crime and whatever else
but I think that first scenario is already what the city is trying to do. they make a lot of money that way. that's why theyve finally embraced the art scene the last 10 years, it's good for tourism
@@darkskinwhite I mostly agree, except I think poor people would be pushed further north instead of south (I'm thinking mostly south of County Line and north of around Mill Rd...maybe Florist, between 60th and 107th)
Milwaukee is coastal city with Bradford Beach and Summerfest. It feels like you are living on the ocean. Everyone takes that for granted until they go somewhere else and it's not there.
Trueee, whole bunch of other beaches as well as in the burbs
MKE is one of my favorite places on Earth. Never has the Hiawatha up from Chicago ever delivered me into anything short of the best time. And for the wusses talking about the cold, I was at Milwaukee Market in January trying to figure out the Kinnickinnic bus down to Bay View and the outdoor bar's tender and two die-hard, cold impenetrable patrons got me sorted. You don't get that anywhere else. Wonderful, vastly underrated and overlooked city.
I’ve been living here in Milwaukee for 17 years (born and raised) and I didn’t know how unique the brewers and fiserv stadiums were until I saw this video. This has encouraged me to go there more. I’ve only been to a brewers game once when I was in like 6th grade. 💀 Now im bout to be a senior. I really need to do more, I’ve come to realize that there is lots to do here.
i was also born and raised on the southside of milwaukee, lived there my entire life until the freaking covid broke out in march, 2020
@Ryan im up in portage, wi, that's about 90 minutes northwest from milwaukee
its like a smaller Chicago, similar to Cleveland. im sure theres PLENTY to do
Milwaukee has a lot of unacknowledged history I love learning about, I needed this🙌🏾
My city! It really is a nice city, especially in Spring and Summer. Also, our skyline is set to get a little taller in the near future: they recently broke ground on The Couture, set to be the fourth tallest building in the city.
That's good to know! Thanks for the insight!
There’s another skyscraper that just broke ground on the corner of Saint Paul and Water in the Third Ward, just across from the Public Market.
I honestly love your home city! Im from the upper peninsula of Michigan and I travel down for shows constantly at The Rave/Eagles Club on Wisconsin Ave! Its about a 6 hour drive south🤷🏻♂️ but worth it. First time I visited was 2016. Been there twice each year since about. Mainly for shows. But also been exploring the city more and more and im just loving it more each time
Sure, you probably live on the East side, and work downtown. Quite the broad spectrum.
@@tomd8658 lol. downtown sucks. the east side used to be a great place
Amtrak operates a train between Chicago and Milwaukee called the Hiawatha. It's unique in Amtrak. It just shuttles back and forth.
I was there 5 years ago as the tallest building was being finished. The streets there were closed off.
Been in Florida , and moving back to Wisconsin. I love Wisconsin and so much good history and culture the city is so fantastic so much to do!
I recently moved to Milwaukee around January time, winter was very harsh but when it's a time of spring and summer, it is one the most beautiful places which I visited. Cycling near lake Michigan offer's a very refreshing view and it makes you calm. Thank you for this video I loved it.
Winters are pretty harsh but we make up for it in the summer time. Hope you enjoy it! Also the beer and cheese makes for very short winters lol.
Did you move from a different country? Just curious, I want to move there as well from a different country.
@@petrovafireice you’ll love it here in Milwaukee!
Hell yea! New vid! Always wanted to check out Milwaukee
I’m not really a baseball fan but that stadium is incredible!! I’ve got to find a way to see a game there 🤩 great video!!!
Yeah it is a beautiful stadium! Thank you!!
It’s a great stadium! I wish it was still called Miller Park since Miller is so close, but now it’s American Family Field and the charm is gone. But the spirit lives on!
Just don’t go to a game when the roof is closed. It’s like watching a baseball game in a big dark cave.
But you are aware people died putting it up, and their really was no need for it to be built.
And, why is it called "American family stadium" a little repub if you ask me
I wish that you included the domes. They are so beautiful.😊
Milwaukee was my home from 1989 to 2016. Miles will always be my city of choice if I come back there when I'm retired. I liked it not just because of the beer but the festivals every summer and the people are extremely happy and nice. But I will always come back to visit.
A little fun fact about City Hall that most people do not know is that on the ninth floor above the atrium there are a bunch of rooms. In one of those rooms there is a wall that has about 75 signatures of different construction workers that have worked there throughout the years. There are names and initials with dates all the way back to the early 1890s when the building was first being constructed. I only stumbled upon it because the contractor I worked for had a project going on there and we had to do some work that involved accessing these rooms.
That is super interesting! Thanks for sharing!
I worked on building the Northwestern Mutual tower and Fiserv Forum and it was really cool to be a part of building both local landmarks.
That's really cool!
I was born and raised in Milwaukee, and still live here today! This video made my heart warm. 🥰
I am from India, and love the way, small cities are managed and kept cleaned....was going through the history of one American brand AOSMITH, which is based is Milwaukee.....beautiful city with beautiful people.....I wish I will born there in my next life.
@@NJr_editz475 What a funny coincidence…my husband was born and raised in India and now lives in Milwaukee with me! I can’t wait to go to India this coming year too! ☺️
@@erynjackson8703 welcome to India madam....you will be shocked to see our culture, traditions and oldest civilization, which is still being followed by Indians.....God bless you 🙏 ❤
Since your visit, there are more tower cranes on construction sites. Skyscraper number 4 The Couture is now on floor 27 of 40 and will add to the nice cluster of US bank and NML. The world’s tallest mass timber frame (25 stories) building Ascent MKE is now complete and may soon lose its title to another even taller timber frame building. The doubling in size of the convention center is nearing completion and look spectacular. The design renderings for the new home of the Milwaukee Public Museum look even more spectacular.
I make it a point to visit an American city that I've never been to before each summer and after watching this clip, I'm leaning towards Milwaukee!
That's an awesome idea! Milwaukee would be a good choice
Milwaukee's skyline is finally moving skyward!!
I think Milwaukee has a distinctive culture, history and architecture as well!
Another great video. Nicely done! I love learning about the history of the cities you do.
Thanks Ben!!
I am a lifelong Milwaukee south-sider, and a Walker's Point resident for 20 years. The rivers enter the harbor and open to Lake Michigan in what is Walker's Point. In most cities, the port and convergence of rivers would make this neighborhood the center of the city and would eventually evolve to become the "downtown." Early in the three original settlements' development, George Walker almost lost claim to this land leading to Kilbourn Town and Juneau Town developing into downtown (easttown and westtown), and making Walker's Point into an exceptionally well preserved historical neighborhood. It's almost as unusual as the "bridge wars" for early Milwaukee history, but it's hard to top all the bridges downtown crossing the river diagonally as a modern reminder of a ridiculous historical oddity.
It's actually good that the downtown wasnt put near the mouth of the rivers, because in a lof of other cities that did that (looking at you Tampa) the downtown becomes cramped and doesnt have as much room to grow.
Currently living in Milwaukee, but move in 2 weeks. I'm gonna miss it here, Milwaukee is worth a visit for sure
Why did you move out
I’ve got to check out this art museum!!
It always a great day when city geek post
Wow, thank you!!
Goated video, love the series!
Thank you!! I love your content too 😀
I have lived the milwaukee metro area since april 1989. I have lived in the city of milwaukee about 12 different places, west allis 6 different places, cudahy 3 places, wauwatosa 3 places and now am living in st. francis for the first time. I am pretty much sure I will be here for the duration and have learned much about the history of the region and have been to most of the local sights such as the menomonie valley, the brewer`s stadium, the milwaukee art and public museum, marquette university area, the lakefront from many points. Milwaukee, like many cities are dealing with increased problems such as pandemics, increased shootings and crime but there are bright spots as well. We can only hope and pray for the light to shine🤔
My wife and I are considering a move to WI and are trying to decide between Milwaukee and Madison. Do you have any thoughts and also, do you think the crime stats in Milwaukee are really worth worrying about. We are looking for a walkable community so I would probably be looking in Milwaukee around Bay View or the Lower East Side. Are there any other walkable communities in the area that I should check out? Thanks.
@@jacobclark288 As for the question of whether milwaukee or madison, each area has plenty of well-paid untaken jobs so either there is good. As for crime, what milwaukee is experiencing is pretty much the same thing happening in large metros all across the nation. In terms of that madison has a lower crime rate than the milwaukee area and the recent spike in crime(particually carjackings and shootings)is definately an area of concern. Most of the shootings are not "random" but concentrated amoung people who know each other. As for walkability milwaukee has many good areas such as downtown(daytime is better but downtown has a lot of people walking all the time just best not to be out after midnight just to be on the safe side and the same goes for the lower east side. Upper east side used to be perfect but crime has spiked there too. Bayview is great and lakefront accessibility is good but choose the "southern half" of bayview, the northern half has had a creep from bad areas of the eastern half of the immediate south side. Best to do is move to established neighborhoods where people own their homes and either work or established retireress. After bayview comes st. francis, cudahy and south milwaukee which is regarded as "south shore" communities with great lakefronts, mostly "established" residents and wonderful walkability. The lakefront areas of all three suburbs are kept in immaculate condition with paved and many unpaved trails that people have been using for long, long before I got here. The st. francis lakefront has many apts. that are higher priced than average but not "too rich" The cudahy lakefront is all bluffs with no residency right on the lakefront but host a county run golf course that kept in immaculate condition and "very affordable" . Grant park is on south milwaukees lakefront is a massive park with many wonderful paved and unpaved trail thru "pristine" settings(daniel boone would be proud). Like cudahy there are few residences right on the lakefront but many "very established" neighborhoods just a "stone`s throw" from the lakefront and reasonable price. All three communities have low crime rates and are small in population so it makes it easier for the police to watch everything. All three communities supply all things you mention as a place to live and strangely enough one of the reasons I live here. The milwaukee area as a "whole" is growing and there is much opportunities and generally competent elected officials and hopefully the positive aspects will overcome the negative aspects but that is the same everywhere. Thanks for the reply🙂
@@marios.sanchez thank you so much for the information. So basically anywhere along the shore south of Bay view. I'm visiting soon, I'll be checking out all of these areas
@@jacobclark288 Choose Milwaukee, you'll love it!!
The property taxes are outrageous in Milwaukee.
I moved out of Milwaukee, and my taxes dropped by 2/3, and I got a much bigger house out of it.
The reason he had to include the metropolitan area is because that is where anyone who could, moved out of Milwaukee ASAP.
If you plan on a " walking" community, you have to be in better shape than that.
Most of those turn into a " running" community. As in run for your life, as you will be chased by gangs of underage minorities to get your phone, cash, keys taken. Along with your womanly dignity. If by some chance while you are in the ER room, you can give a description of your assailants it's all the same: medium height, medium build. They dropped charges on the 15 year old driver of a drive by that killed a 14 year old.
Don't expect any justice.
The Police are underfunded and over worked. There are so many cars running red lights they have a unit dedicated to that.
If you live on a side street, idiots drive at freeway speeds down 20 mph roads.
To combat that, the mayor plans on lowering the speed limit on side roads to 15mph...uh?
There is a gang of juvenile car thieves ( which means never prosecuted) called " the Kia boys", they love to steal cars, about 20 a day are stolen.
Druggies pan handling right under signs that say " no pan handling " proves they graduated from a Milwaukee public school.
Some of which had ZERO PERCENT PROFICIENT at math, reading, and science.
They paid millions of dollars to have a " Choo choo" trolley run in a circle. It takes a shorter time if you walk. AT#T, had to move all the fiber optic cables from under the roads to put that stupid trolley in. ATT tried to pass that cost to everyone in the State. A judge said no. So that cost was passed on to only Milwaukee residents. LOL..
They elect only idiotic leftists, but I repeat myself.
There is a place in Milwaukee County where alot of police and firemen live. It's as far out, and yet " legally" in Milwaukee County where they HAVE to live for their job. Milwaukee went to court to make the city employees live in the county. Or else they would all leave...
The sports district, where the Bucks play in the Fiserv, was shut down because of rioting and random shooting. 11pm curfew. No particular reason to riot, just because 2 rival gangs saw each other.
Bradford Beach is shut down every year because of sewage overflows, and E-Coli.
It's okay though, sine that mess floats down to Chicago.
Maybe you could live in a highrise, high security condo. With a secure underground parking area. If you call that living.
Madison is a much better area. They have lake Mendota, and another one, near the capitol . That city has peaceful walking and bike paths. The UW-Madison is there.
Madison has everything you mentioned. But without the chances of getting shot. Or hit by a stole car running a red light. Or getting shot in the head while at a red light.
Great job! I really learn so much from these videos. I like that you cover mid-size cities and give them such nice coverage. I really would love to visit that art museum and the river walk. I also love that city hall story! Amazing stuff! 😎⭐️🥇🏙
Thank you David!! I always enjoy reading your comments 😀
American Family Field really is super cool. You missed the Mitchell Sky Domes? Best part of Milwaukee in my opinion.
Yeah looking back I probably should have included those. Thanks for the feedback!
He I believe also missed mentioning the Milwaukee County Zoo as well...
American family field will always be miller park to me
I was there four years ago. I ate along the Riverwalk, saw the Bronze Fonz, and took a boat tour.
Thank you for your video. Short and a lot of information. I am enjoy a lot.
And there a festival somewhere in the city pretty much every weekend. This weekend is Brew Fest and German fest
Don't forget Italian Fest, Irish Fest etc 😊
Hi City Geek, thanks for sharing your video about your overview of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and known as the brew city!
You’re welcome!
Great job! Congrats for 6k!
Thank you!!
Thanks you for this one
Looks like a great place. Thanks for history and summary my son will be going on a mission there.
You bet!! I hope your son enjoys his mission there!
@ben zun is he going on a mission for the lds church?
That baseball stadium looks so cool!!! I'm a baseball fan and that looks incredible
Not to mention the record setting project nearing completion, the Ascent building. Which will be the worlds tallest wood frame building, standing 25 floors tall. I’ve personally worked in the building and the size of the timbers used are awe inspiring
Thanks for making! I love your informative style and how you discuss nerdy history and must-see spots. I'm moving to Milwakuee next month God willing and this was the perfect start for me to learn about it!
Thanks for the kind comment! I’m glad you enjoy the videos!
love your content and style! Great topics and length!
Thank you!!
Dude....bars. Lots and lots of bars.
Awesome! Really nice facts in this one especially, a lot of things I had no clue about.
Yeah it's a really interesting city! Thanks for the comment, as always 😀
I just found your channel and I really enjoy your videos! Really interesting facts.
Thank you! Glad you found the channel 😊
BTW…some of your city videos are edging ever closer to that exciting 100,000 view threshold! You must be excited to see that! Keep up the great work! 💡🌠✨🎤🏆
Thanks! I know, it has been encouraging to see the response to some of my recent videos. Hopefully city lovers will keep being shown my channel
I love these series on cities and have binged on your American videos. Can’t wait until you start doing international metropolises; low-key hoping you’ll cover one of my favorite cities, Buenos Aires. That place took European classical design and exaggerated them in a way not seen in Paris, Turin, or London.
Thank you! And yes I plan on eventually extending this series to cover more international cities. I appreciate the recommendation of Buenos Aires!
Downtown Milwaukee is absolutely beautiful
💯
Beautiful ❤️❤️
Nice city to visit
Great video. Very Nice👍👌
Thank you!
My home. You did a fantastic job capturing it!
Thank you!
I just learned a whole bunch of awesome shit about Milwaukee and I live here lol. This was a good video.
I know right!
Thank you!
Great video! Proud Milwaukeean here, even I learned some stuff ✌🏻
Thank you!!
You mentioned that it sits alongside a pretty big lake but it seemed to be treated as an afterthought. Not many cities have as many of it’s inhabitants living alongside or at least within shouting distance of one of the world’s largest freshwater seas.
Thats a great point. I should have highlighted that fact more. Thanks for the feedback!
And we have the best water treatment system in the world. Other cities and countries modeled their water treatment plants after ours.
Ah the stinky lake
Uh, Lake Michigan most certainly isn’t treated as an afterthought. Have you ever been to the Milwaukee lakefront in summer? Several miles of parks and beaches packed with people, it is the most comfortable spot on a hot day.
Except for Chicago of course..😊
It's a nice city, with an impressive park system. I heard the winters arent brutally cold, due to winds coming off of Lake Michigan, but I cant say for sure.
I live here and the winters are definitely brutally cold but once every few years we'll have a warmer winter then usual.
I'm from here and then moved to Montana for ten years, milwaukee winter is not that bad, it's winter, but it only really last 3 months.
Warmer near the lake in the winter, cooler near the lake in the summer. (Warmer and cooler being relative, but have seen 20+ degree differences in both highs and lows.)
Our winters are comparable to Reykjavic, Iceland, but less stable. The cold comes and goes, and it's the rapid temperature fluctuations that are brutal. We can go from 20 degrees F to -10 degrees F over a few hours. the 30 degree swings can happen any time of the year, which gets dangerous in both summer and winter.
Persistent winds off Lake Michigan in April and May keep nice days to a minimum.
Largest city in Wisconsin. Love Lake Michigan.
I grew up in Wisconsin... Milwaukee's skyline is getting better! You should do Austin next please - my new hometown w/a great & growing skyline!
Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll do Austin but I wanted to wait until a couple of these skyscrapers are complete. I may change my mind and do it sooner though!
Nice job.
Thank you!
I really love your videos. This city manager approves. For S and G’s you should do Herington, Kansas for 😎
Thank you!! I'll look into that 😀
I'm living here this summer, and its an awesome city. You should cover one of the 3 big C's in Ohio next.
CREAM CITYYYY
Aww you didnt do The Allen Bradley clock.
You forgot to mention its close proximity to the many many parks within the county and surrounding counties, heck your thumbnail included 2 of the cities parks with one of them being a state park. Also you forgot to mention the many festivals that are held there such as Polishfest and German fest. Bastille days are also a great way to spend your time. Also the statefair is held in Milwaukee county and is huge with so much to fo that it often takes several days to fully experience it.
Yeah I try to keep these video short but those would have been good things to include. Thanks for the feedback!
You forgot to speak about the man who made Milwaukee famous 😉
Evan Peters
@@lukeskinwalker922 😂😂👌👍
And soon, but not for long, Milwaukee will have the tallest wooden building in the world.
The inner structure is timber but it generally looks like a glass tower
The MKE City Hall is also sinking into the ground as a result of the wooden support beams
My very favorite city on the planet ❤❤
Not exactly Milwaukee born but have lived nearby in Brookfield for 31 years. Lots of fun things to do in Milwaukee.
Milwaukee ❣
IDK why only Milwaukee and the WOW Counties are factored into the metro population. The seven county SE Wisconsin area is above 2 million. Apparently according to the census bureau, not even Racine County is considered a suburb. Even though it's the only county that touches Milwaukee that isn't.
yeah, I've always wondered that too. so therefore, Racine is not considered part of Milwaukee or Chicago's metropolitan area which is kind of strange, considering how close it is to both metros. literally borders kenosha, which is part of Chicago's metro, and literally borders oak Creek which is part of Milwaukee's Metro 🤷
@@b2dary890 That's literally why I go by the seven county population. Because what is Southeast Wisconsin besides Milwaukee and a bunch of towns that commute to Milwaukee (or Chicago) for work? I live in Chicago now, and I pretty much see Chicago-Milwaukee as Dallas-Fort Worth, only with a state border in between.
Yeah, I couldn't agree more! 😊
The Milwaukee Combined Statistical Area, which has over 2,000,000 people, is a good measure of the city's influence on the surrounding region, in addition to the cities in the metro area. Its cities are not officially a part of the built-up area, but are still considered by most people here to be. It most notably includes Racine, which has ~78,000 people and is about a half-hour south of the city, and would include Kenosha, too, were it not officially counted as the northernmost city in the Chicago metro area, because of the number of its residents who commute to Chicago for work (despite it being 40 miles away from Milwaukee and 52 from Chicago).
Thank you for pointing that out to people that aren't familiar with the greater Milwaukee region... I also am aware that Caledonia is very close to Oak Creek...
@City Geek are you going to do Boston?
Lots of suburbanites who've never left their neighborhood in these comments lol
Which suburbanites?
Exactly...
I think one of the most interesting aspects of Milwaukee is the fact that it's the only major American city to have elected three socialist mayors.
Now that’s a shame
Does this guy know how to party or what?
How much would a winter power bill be in a good sized apartment in MIlwaukee ?
My husband and I are getting our ducks in a row to move out of Ohio. It's hard to pick somewhere else because I am picky about where I buy a home. I really really am obsessed with Milwaukee... Lol .. I think this place seems like somewhere I could live and be happy. Still gotta check out the crime rate ect but I think my search is over. 😚
I’m still waiting for an okc video :(
The city is also home to the tallest timber skyscraper in the world, 3 more slyscrapers will be coming to the city within the next 4-5 years aswell! It is now experiencing big growth after a period of recession.. mostly driven forward through the reduction of crime and addition of 21st century job opportunities!
Reduction of crime?? That's a good one!! where'd you hear that joke🤣🤣🤣
@@b2dary890 in certain (downtown) areas, obviously the north side is still an issue.
@@b2dary890 homicide went up but other crimes went down, one of the only cities to experience that. Also statistically 90% of homicides the murderer and the victim know each other, so unless u hang around crime the risk of harm is lower than most other places
We also have one of the oldest water distribution infrastructures still in use. The oldest still functional water mains are from 1904. Our water filtration and processing system is one of the best in the world, reliably and constantly filtering and cleaning over 400 different pollutants, organisms, etc. from the water.
Also, Miller Park looks like the Legion of Doom headquarters from the Superfriends cartoon, which is awesome. The view from almost every seat is great. More importantly, I won the "Wookie of the Year" contest at this year's Star Wars Day, which is probably the best thing about MKE. Oh, our airport is really good.
Discombobulatation area! Lol
Our airport is just cute and small and easily navigable. The only reason why I like it lol.
My hometown
Its not a GREAT city in that it will never top any list of cities, but it certainly is an underrated city.
Milwaukee between Memorial day and October is as good as any city there is.
Totally agree. Thanks for the comment!
Milwaukee is a shithole, poorly managed and high crime.
Hide your Kia's and hide your Hyundai's
Please come but please be careful. My city is experiencing a violent crime boom.
Like all major cities!!?
do cleveland next!! i think it would show people how awesome the city actually is!!!
💕❤️💕❤️💕
I live in Chicago and visit MKE quite a bit and to be real It really feels like the wild west sometimes. it’s basically falling apart like the roads are worse than any place ive been to. if you drive late at night people will drive insane like i’ve been honked at for waiting at a red light too long. wild 😂 but i love it up there people actually really cool
Willem Dafoe and Satya Nadella the current CEO of Microsoft also attended college here at UWM.
Dollar for dollar Milwaukee punches above its weight class for sure. Although “underrated” I have a feeling the cat has began to get out of the bag.
Another note that wasn’t really mentioned I feel is important is it’s proximity to Chicago. Within an hour and a half drive you have access to a truly world class city on top of the already above average offerings Milwaukee has without having to pay Chicago prices.
In an hour and a half you can drive from one kill zone to another kill zone.
@@GAF19577 What are you talking about? Not sure if I want you to answer that to be honest. Haha.

Reminds me of Toronto. Definitely underrated city.
Are you serious? Toronto, Ontario is Canada's largest city with about 2.8 million people a little larger than the city of Chicago and the Toronto metro area is at least 6 million people...
Oh, and I forgot, Toronto's skyline is very large...
Besides the Bucks and Brewers, Milwaukee is home to to other Sports teams such as NCAA's Milwaukee Panthers and Marquette Golden Eagles, AHL's Milwaukee Admirals and by 2025 it will be home to a USL team, during the early-mid 1950s was home to the NBA's Milwaukee Hawks, from 1953-1965, was home to the MLB's Milwaukee Braves, and finally from 1934-1993, the Green Bay Packers would play 1-2 home games in Milwaukee.
Hey man, great video! Some other interesting things I'd like to add is that Milwaukee has two state parks within city limits (Lakeshore State Park and Havenwoods State Forest), plus over 140 public parks. We are also, I believe, the only city to elect three socialist mayors.
Thank you! And thanks for pointing those things out!
Can you do a Boston video? 💯
Yes its on the list!
