I live in northern ill. and am in Wisconsin quite a bit, never had a negitive vibe ever. More bars than grocerie stores is great.
Moved to Madison 4 years ago from Los Angeles and I feel like there are much better highlights.
-loads of biking trails
-gorgeous driftless countryside
-Lakes
-Great schools
-peaceful
-Friendly
-Four beautiful seasons
-Summer storms
-Kwik Trips
Kwik Trips!! Can’t believe we forgot those! We touch on most of those other highlights in many of our other videos Mark. We’ll have to add Kwik Trips though…they are pretty sweet.
Make sure you vote conservative to keep it that way.
@@thegrumpyhorticulturist Actually Madison is liberal.
I am a transplant but have lived here for many years. What I noticed are the abundance of parks and sidewalks. If you like to walk a lot, then you can.
And even outside of the area known as the driftless there's some beautiful rolling countryside. As good or better in some way, to me :). Check out southern or western Dunn county sometime, and counties to the west, although other counties have their pretty areas and back roads too. And I LOVE walking the beaches of lake Superior, and hiking to waterfalls up north too.
I have family in Green Bay and my best friend lives there too. I've been there in summer, winter, fall and spring. The summers are only bothersome if you don't live far enough north or you don't live near the lake. People drink more beer than water and they put beer in just about everything. If you don't know what cheese curds are, you're missing out.
Sorry to tell you Madison is nothing like the rest of the state.
That’s a mf fact especially me moving back and forth between Milwaukee and Madison all my life
Thank God!
Yeah we don't want you
Those rookies in Madison aye
You are right about both Milwaukee, and Madison is different than the rest of the State, because the rest of the State of Wisconsin is polluted from heavy industry!
I just graduated from UW Oshkosh and lived in Oshkosh for two summers when I lived off campus. EAA is one of the most popular events in the region. It was super cool to drive by the airport and see all the planes flying around and people camping for EAA. I’ve never been to it, but I know people who have and from what they’ve told me I can see why it brings so many people from all over the world
I used to park cars at EAA, and I actually got to use my high school Francais to direct some French speakers to the downtown area.
My dad used to be a school teacher so he worked all summer for someone but camped in Oshkosh that week.
In a tent when he was broke.
I have been living in Madison for 40 years and I totally agree with the Summer Migration Fridays issue. It almost seems like in Madison the work week for many people is four days from Monday through Thursday. On the other hand I disagree about Madison being humid in the summer. My experience is that Madison in only really humid a couple of weeks or so in the summer. August is typically when the real humid weather can hit but it can sometimes happens for a few days in June or July too.
Yep. I am from the South. believe me the summers are no where near as humid as down South. yes you will get a week or a string of days of humid weather, but then it breaks.
@@kli9005While probably still nowhere near as bad as where you're from, we did used to get worse humid summers back when I was growing up ( 80s, 90s, 2000s) than lately, it seems, and now and then we just have a bad ( in that way) summer. Being a dairy farmer for most of those years, it was bad enough, anyway, to make being in the barn w a bunch of hot cows absolutely miserable. With the humidity, they didn't cool off overnight in the pasture and just made mud by the water tank and stood, and laid, in it, trying to. Trying to milk said muddy cows flipping their filthy tails in your face while miserable yourself... is lots of fun 🙄😂. Add in the hay not drying well and Dad stressing out ... and animals starting to get sick .. .
@@ajb.822 oh wow. I had just assumed that the summers used to be cooler in Wisconsin since the winters were worse.
Every time someone gasps and says they could never live here I just nod. Not trying to convince everyone to live here then ruin it. WI is not for the weak. It was amazing when I was a kid. As far as food I grow it, all year round, and it tastes better than when we go out anyways. I love that the winter helps control pests and disease for the garden. WI is a great state
Amen ! I'm more tempted to sell people on it, but yeah. Personally I can barely handle winter, but I also come from dairy farm background, and Dunn co. gets plenty cold although it's not the worst part of WI, and in short, we were understaffed, over worked, had sub-par infrastructure and systems to some extent, and times were really hard in my teens, during which we had that super awful horrible stretch of cold the February of 2016 I think it was. Things were a little better for my work conditions that really LOOOONG cold stretch back in, what, 2014 or 15 ? When it didn't get above zero for a record 6 weeks or somethin, and most of it was spent at 25 below ( actual or wind-chill, I can't recall but I think actual). It took years, after those VERY hard experiences in my teens, for me to be less fearful of winter. I wish I could handle poisonous creepy crawlies around, I'd move south, well, Pacific Northwest if it wasn't... ya know... . So for me the cold nearly is a deal breaker but yeah, most people here seem fine w it.
Most things they mentioned here are trivial. THE BIG THINGS are Property Taxes, State Taxes and WINTERS. WINTERS are brutal. Also, traffic laws are very strictly enforced in some places, even to the point you better not have your car parked too far from the curb (much less pointed the wrong way on the street).
I think the winters are manageable is you own a good coat but I'm with you on the vampiric property taxes. They should not tax homeowners who are retired or who make less than 100 G a year. They should tax income above. 200-400 G with exceptions for number of dependents, small business etc.
If your from California stay out
Winters are way milder than they used to be. Also the winters are nothing like in the North East. The biggest issue is the very long stretch of dark days.
@@kli9005 What????????? Winters way worse than North East. And some winters are worse than other winters, BUT they are all bad. You sound like someone that does not shovel snow, drive in ice and snow, or spent any time outside.
It keeps the riff raff out.
What almost everyone DOESN'T know: The term "cheese head" was coined by a FIB (------- Illinois -------) columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times. He was driving in Wisconsin and he got stopped for speeding. In his column, shortly thereafter, he desparagingly referred to the policeman as a "cheese head". Someone on the south side of Milwaukee read the column and thought: "Hey...I've got an idea". He fashioned a cheese shaped hat out of some foam rubber...sprayed it yellow...and wore it to a Milwaukee Brewers baseball game. Everyone wanted to know where he got it. The rest is history!
Nice! Didn’t know that story!
What year was that?
I just want to say that this CZcams channel is such a brilliant idea. I’ve never seen a real estate business do such informational videos like this. Very helpful - thank you!
Thank you Emily, glad they have been helpful for you!
Nice shoutout to Belts! I live like 4 blocks away and can certainly vouch for it.
After living in Madison and Stevens point for roughly 5 years each, I feel as if Stevens point is like a small Madison (but with free parking). Thoughts?
I have been living in Wisconsin for almost 26 years full time. I’m originally from Gurnee,Illinois. I lived in Door County Wisconsin. It is so peaceful in late fall to mid spring. My parents built a vacation home in the fall of 1979. We spent a lot of vacations in that part of Wisconsin. My parents retired in 1993 and made their vacation home their permanent home till my mother passing in 2018. My sister put the house for sale at the end of the year and was sold. The people sold the place. The current people who owned the house is using it as a vacation rental. I wish that I was living in the house instead of living in my apartment. I did live with my parents in 1993-94 with our 3 cats and even my sister,too. My sister and I did stuff with our parents over the years in that house. We had 2 cats that we brought up from Illinois. The cats enjoyed coming from Illinois to Wisconsin. They were both indoor and outdoor cats. Only one did stayed close towards the house to be close towards us. When I was in my early teens that I always hated to come up towards Door County and my attitude changed. I even made friends in Door County Wisconsin over the years. Even my father was from Phillips,Wisconsin. I even went there when I was little kid to visited my grandmother and even my uncle,too. The last time that I was there was my grandmother’s funeral a little bit over 29 years ago. I loved to see my 2nd cousin that lives there. She was adopted by my uncle. She is a Native American. I just loved her. We aren’t blood related. I treated her as part of my family since the 1st time that I met her in late June of 1993 with my grandmother.
I live in the Milwaukee area, and both summers, and winters can be brutal, but then sometimes winters, and summers can be mild also depending on the year. I've lived in Wisconsin most of my life, and seasons vary year per year.
Very true, it seems as of late both summer and winter have been more milder/not as extreme cold/hot.
Great timing! See y’all in Oct!
Hope it was helpful! See ya in October!
Mosquitos are considered the State Bird in Wi.
😂😆 #truth!!
I used to take a small cooler out here when I lived in Colorado and bring it back full of cheese from the dairy and cheese place near my parents house.
The cool part about where my parents live is there is a butcher a few miles away so I only eat steak when I go to their house. Store bought stuff is crap.
Can always tell when someone isn't a Wisconsinite from how they pronounce Wisconsin. Wis-Con-Sin means they aren't from around here, Wisc-On-Sin means they were born here.
Hmm. I was born n raised right here and so were both of my folks, although mom's folks were originally from out of state and my Dad's mom was too... but I'm pretty sure I say Wis-con-sin, slight emphasis in 2nd syllable.
Madison is not representative of Wisconsin. It's a completely different reality.
How so? Are you referring to politics, cost of living? I'm curious because I'm considering a move to WI from a neighboring state. Not sure which city would be a good fit.
@@The3Dsmasha little bit of everything. Madison (and Milwaukee) are a different culture than the rest of the state. Maybe it's more liberal because of college students or just being a city, but the way of life and culture is different. Of course property will be more expensive than in other parts of the state and has more crime since it's a bigger area. There are some really great towns in the Madison area that are safer and less expensive.
You also won't see as much of the natural beauty of you stay inside the city or don't travel very far across the state.
@@swarley39 Thanks for the comment; I may visit next Spring.
good video, gotta say tho, being born amd raised in Vilas Co, Wisc, Madisom for us was just s notch above (barely) from those Ill'noise' FIB's. AKA flatlanders. scuzwonsin is a great palce to visit, and possibly stay, though i admit i dont miss the Eagle River or N wisc winters!
As long as I can find a Walmart in the area, I'm good 👍.
I'm very used to Midwest seasons being from Illinois (southwest of Chicago).winter and construction
Coming from the Northeast the humidity up there was a welcome change. It's not high at all!
BRO this brother knows the most random facts! Mad knowledge. Kudos! LOL.
Thanks for all the information. My husband and I are planning on moving to Wisconsin with our two kids next year. Here in Phoenix our seasons consist of almost summer, summer, summer, fall. I think we going to need to get a whole new wardrobe 😅.
You should do it. I am also over living somewhere where it’s hot 9-10 months of the year ahh
Don't move to Madison or Milwaukee. They are the 2 biggest far left cities we have here they tax the hell out of you for owning a car. And the land tax in Dane and Milwaukee County are holey hell high
If you are planning on moving to the Madison area with school aged children, check out the nearby smaller cities such as Waunakee or Oregon. They have much better school systems than Madison, as well as lower crime. Madison is a great city, but growth brings issues our local politicians have no grasp on how to deal with.
We have only one season here in San Francisco, and I’m completely exhausted from it - homeless people, poop and needles all over the streets season. Last night I was yet again awoken by someone having a crisis outside of my downtown front facing apartment, this time involving someone chaining their pit bull up to a fence right outside of our building in the rain. And the police told me that they weren’t going to do anything about it because that was animal care and control’s jurisdiction, and they weren’t open until the morning. It was at that moment that I thought “That’s it, I’m done with this place.” Yet again. At this point I just want out. Cheaper housing and less insanity is all i care about. Police that actually do their job. Sign me up.
If you need help of an kind, like where to find something or how to dress in certain weather, just ask a neighbor or anyone. we are there to helps . We are very friendly people.
Cool video!
I'm still trying to decide 1 of my summer destinations, and Wisconsin is on my list.
1st is getting there. Is it wise to fly into Midway (Chicago), then drive up?. That is the cheapest way by air from where I am.
I see it's not a long drive to Wisconsin, but u mentioned traffic.
Also if you know of any brewery there in Madison that brews a good brown ale I would appreciate it! Thanks,!
Yes, flying into Chicago and then driving up isn’t bad. Many times we drive to Chicago and fly out from there. Not a big brown ale guy but there are a lot of microbreweries that I’m sure you’ll find a winner at!
No. Midway is on the south side of Chicago - very rough side of town. O’Hare is closer, about an hour and a half drive to Milwaukee.
You can do that, but I personally vowed to never do that again. Spend the money and fly direct to Milwaukee (or wherever is closer), it’s not worth the headache.
It depends on where you are for the humidity.
The 30 point buck song is by Bannas at Large a wi band. Not Da Yupers.
tics are found in all the lower 48 states
Go to Oklahoma, that humid. There are days when you can feel more humidity, but it doesn’t feel close to humidity in Oklahoma.
Yeah i live in houston so 86 degrees witha 100% humidity is a coldfront in summertime
😲 Can’t imagine…
Am so looking forward to visiting WI someday and tracing Laura Ingall Wilders Roots where she spent part of her childhood in the “ Big Woods”.
Oh , you just gave me an idea!
Cool :). I was given the set of books for my birthday once as a kid. I grew up very near there, she was in Pepin county (I'm pretty sure, if I recall .. ) as a small child, I was just north in Dunn. Dunn also has the Caddie Woodlawn park with preserved house ! Loved those books as well !
Born and raised there, spent the first half of my life in Wisconsin and moved from Oconomowoc in 1990 to Arkansas. Sounds like it hasn't changed much...lol. Suprisingly there are a lot of similarities between the states. Cheese is a priority food here although not as good, mosquitos are just as crazy. Humidity is about the same only hotter temps. Deer hunting is a lifestyle here as well....lol. Blessings.
Well sounds like you picked a good state to move to…winters are probably much better and hopefully make up for the hot summers!
I am looking to moving there near Appleton in a few months. I can’t wait
Let us know if you need any help with anything here!
My wife, two kids and I may be moving from Montana. We love it here but have been priced out of buying a home here which is really sad
so move to another state and price them out outlander
Be cautious - here in NE WI, (Door Co. specifically) our housing prices -rents - prices in general have really escalated. A friend who moved to a more rural northwoods location managed to find a decent price on a home, but… she’s pretty rural…….
I'm from Illinois and I'm thinking of moving to Wisconsin or Iowa, but I do respect the laws of other states and respect others especially Wisconsin with beautiful, friendly people. I'm also a very patient driver, I figure that wherever I'm going will still be there, so I take my time
I'm from Wisconsin and if you act like a human being I will always treat you with dignity and respect.
@@timothylarsen2885 I was raised old school and was taught to treat people with respect that I was treated with. I always respect the laws and rules of anywhere I am
Born and raised in Wisco and I was taught to make fun of and hate Illinois
I still do and have taught my kids the same
@slice40 YOU were taught right, stay out of Illinois when possible especially the northeast part of Illinois
We really dont need more people from illinoise displacing kids born proper and right In the state of wisconsin my once loved rural town has become a craphole you people are making it impossible for generations of wisconsinites to afford housing then they get displaced and have to move away from their families stop being a coward and fight for your own state I would never leave wisconsin when the dollar collapses rich people from chicago are screwed we know who you people are
Wisconsin my home state
Really informative, thanks
Sorry but there is no humidity here. Go to Florida in the summer and check back in with me😂
❤d your take, thanks from a WI original
You do know what the 4 seasons are in WI?
Winter, Pothole, Construction & Football..
Went to oshkosh for the first time this year. Im from texas and it was just beautiful. Im thinking of moving. Texas is just getting too expensive and its so damn hot in the summer im tired of it. Biggest sell for me was how polite everyone was it reminds me of Texas i love that and having gun ownership freedom were the two biggest selling points for me. I hope it all works out and i can start a life there 🤞🏻
Doesn't it cool down at night in the summers though?
Construction is year round here as long as the weather permits. They've been working on building & roads a couple blocks from the house all winter. Oh the humidity...yep had an argument with someone who claimed Wisconsin isn't humid most of the year. They claimed they lived here for 8 years (were from Texas supposedly). Tell that to my sinuses and migraines I get from the humidity & it can be year round. It was also humid where I lived in South Texas 5 1/2 years (but for some reason it didn't bother me). Wisconsin also had/have a large French population & some of the names are French.
On the french names, yes, but some you think are French turn out to be Native American. We had a french workaway-er ( it's a help out in exchange for room and board connection site, we've hosted a few travellers) who was surprised about the French history of WI - apparently they don't teach that in France - but was confused by Prairie du Sac. Why they'd name it that. Turns out it's Native American name, not based on french at all, like I'd assumed it was.
Hey guys I have watched all your videos, and it has been very useful. Keep up the amazing work!
I may be coming to Madison soon to get my Ph.D. at UW. Where would you recommend looking for affordable 1 bedroom apartments? Any specific areas?
I would love your input! Thanks, and salutations from Lubbock, Texas.
Hello! If you email meanings names you a list of rental websites that could help you with your search! Easiest commute for you would be between downtown and Middleton.
Check for apartments along Sheboygan Ave. in Madison. Affordable & close enough to bike/bus to campus.
Iowa County resident. Or Dane Lite County, as they call it. Subscribed.
Thanks for the sub Mitch!
Tends to be a bit of friction………
Between Il and Wi is an understatement… ha ha ha ha
Fibs are the worst
Nice job you two!!
That Chris guy (my son) needs a truck! Great video!
😂😂😂 Indeed he does!
Beware of ths scammer in Butler
I live in Madison Wisconsin I grocery shop at Woodman's I got a lot of stuff in there lots and lots of food
It’s the dew point that makes it muggy as hell
50° dew point nice and cool
60° starting to get muggy
If the dew point hits 70° stay in your air conditioned house
Very very tropical
Hmm...was just going to hit the launch on Wisconsin. But now, dunno.
Houston has two seasons: Unbareably hot and humid for 9 months (like 80-110 degrees with 80-100% humidity) and then cloudy 60 degree wheather during winter… I an leaving
600,000 deer hunters and still we have too many deer in Wisconsin. How many are actually hunting? While the others just drink for a week lol. Used to live in Wisconsin for 25 years. Live in Oregon now.. No humidity = no mosquitos not a thing in the Valley, out in the cascade mountains the mosquitos can be a problem. I miss the cheese, beer and food of the midwest. Don't miss the winters or humid summers.
Or are the hunters just terrible shots!!??
@@livinginmadisonwi Could be lol.. As a kid I'd take one shot and it should be all you need, never had to take more than one shot. I hear people shooting round after round. bang bang bang.. I'm like what the heck are you doing?? lol
@@livinginmadisonwiMaybe, as a lot of people shoot less often nowadays than back when, when they were shootin squirrels, predators going for the henhouse, and so on, throughout the year, year after year growing up. Also, my husband's Dad would only give him like 1 or was it 3... bullets at a time and told him he couldn't get more unless he got something. Made a good shot out of him... I'm probably butchering the story, no pun intended ! Anyway, according to my hubby, It's that there's overall less large hunting parties, with some of them tasked with driving the deer. Combing the woods and scaring them up and out of their hidey holes and towards those waiting for em. My husband's parents were older, both gone now, along with his brother closest to him. He's been usually alone out there, except the times I put on orange and tried to "drive" deer for him. The last time, I started before he was ready, and that was the only deer we saw that day. He did get a large one, thank God, the next day. He usually has finally gotten one or 2 at the last minute. For most of the week of gun hunt season ( what he does), he hardly sees any, and if he does, they're on a neighbor's land he doesn't even know who owns or how to get ahold of them, OR knows that the owner doesn't usually allow hunters to go on their land, sometimes even if they shot one who was still movin, and went into their land. So, as u see, it's not so simple. And yes, they really hide when gun season starts. After that 1st hour of gun shots and blaze orange, they HIDE. Unless you have a large hunting party &/or don't have land to hunt on with neighbors w woods or swamps who don't allow hunting, you're chances of not seeing any to shoot at are high. And it's illegal to shoot from inside your vehicle or a dwelling...or the minute after season closed for the day. And of course, that is when u see the deer. My bff however, dairy farms w her husband and they get lots of deer, and so we usually get our venison for the year one way or another. They have more woods around them, along with all those hay fields etc. , and a lot of family who have time and ability to bow hunt AND gun hunt. They get a lot of deer, and don't need it all, as they have their own beef too.
No kidding on the driving issue, on 94!!
This is 2 years ago now in the last 2 years the winter is getting drastically warmer the last 2 years and this is a definite long term trend over the past 30 years just a fyi
HMM While it is humid in Wisconsin it is not that bad and only for 3 -4weeks or so.
Dang.... I got offered to apply to a job out there and I'm from California. Idk if I like the winter like that... :(
It would definitely be different, you'd have to embrace it and not fight it. Find fun things to do in the winter indoors or get the warm apparel and find a fun outdoor activity like downhill or cross country skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, sledding, to name a few. Not for everyone though!
The friday thing is true for the midwest
Welcome to WI, where we have 8 months of winter and 4 months of bad sledding.......
🤣😂😆
Hello
How are you doing there ?
I have applied to the university of Wisconsin Milwaukee for summer intake 2022 .
How's the corporate world over there , job availablity ?
I'm not as familiar with the Milwaukee market but the great Milwaukee Metro is large and I'm sure there are many opportunities there. If not check out Madison when your done with school as well, always a strong job market here with many large companies.
@@livinginmadisonwi Thanks for your Clarification
If you are driving at night looking for cars - good idea, looking for deers - a must. Along with other cars and deer, WI is a leader when it comes to drunk drivers and you are just as likely to be hit by a drunk driver as you are likely to hit a deer. Property taxes, they will drive you of your home.
Right
Bars have some of the best food
For sure! Hard to beat a greasy bar burger!
It’s one of the top 10 states people are leaving
Here is another interesting fact. Chalet Cheese in Monroe Wisconsin operates the last Limburger cheese plant in the United States.
You guys are cool
Well that’s kind of you Maia! Glad you are enjoying the videos. Have a great week!
Most Belgian immigrants in 19th and 20th century went to Wisconsin. Actually the region from Chicago (IL) to Green Bay. If you have ever been to Belgium you would never again wonder where the bar density comes from. In Belgium it’s way more than in Germany or France. We work hard but we love beer and food. By the way, Krystel is a typical Belgian name 😊😉
🇧🇪=🇫🇷 😊
My family is from Belgium. You can tell by my last name.
Do you pay property taxes if you are renting? Sorry thinking of moving from overseas.
Indirectly you do yes, the landlord takes the property taxes into account when they set the rental rate. So you pay the rent every month and a portion of that the landlord pays the property taxes with at the end of the year.
if you are renting. you have a contract to pay a monthly price. you dont pay property tax as that is for the owner.
I love Wisconsin because the people there are very friendly.
Joe,your wife is very beautiful
I stepped outside today and it was so humid
Agreed, it was nasty the last couple days!
Wisconsin is the best state to live in we don't have earthquakes, we don't have tsunamis, barely any tornados so you're pretty safe from mother nature here
I love Wisconsin! I will help make the State more RED!😂
Me too, soon as we move to Phillips! ❤
I love cranberries and ice cream!
Oh man I don't think I've ever tried that, going to have to now!
There are some of those from Illinois that are FIB'S.
You guys forget the lights in road no have the Named to heart to drive if you don have GPS
looking forward to relocate to WI
Buckle up! It was -55 Fahrenheit here 3 years ago. Brrrr.
I remember that! Get those furnaces checked now!
That's just wind chill. I wish they stop that because they make it sound worse than what it really in. They just say the wc so people cover their skin.
I remember that all too well. It was miserable as all hell.
I love Wisconsin cheese 🧀 and your beautiful women and the friendly, polite people
Where the hell is there "traffic" in WI? Are u talking about VERY abnormal traffic in Milwaukee or Madison after a game? It literally only takes a few minutes to get from the airport to the GB stadium, non game day!! WI "traffic" is literally just... drive.
My company is paying for me to move from Chicago to Madison, Wisconsin. Any good areas to enjoy or avoid?
Where will you be working and what do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Avoid Madison
I'm not a deer hunter but I have no problem with those who do, but if I move there just don't ask me to go deer hunting with you
My boyfriends from Milwaukee Wisconsin but he’s living here in Los Angeles California
Great to know moving there next year
no dont we dont want you interloper
Go pack go!
Madison is not Wisconsin! It’s the peoples republic of Wisconsin
I hear this kind of comment about Madison a lot. Is it that it's a college town and very liberal? How liberal is it? Or more expensive? What makes Madison the black sheep of WI? Some people seem to love it, others disown it.
@@The3DsmashDepends who you ask. Elitism spread outward from Madison leaves many in the rest of the state judging Dane county as fake and generally weak minded.
East San Francisco
Sconics? Is that what Wisconsin residents are called? I didn’t know that about the shoreline in Wisconsin. Being from California (and about to move to Wisconsin,) we are so proud of our beaches, I really did think that we had the most. But I guess that doesn’t take into consideration Great Lakes!
On that note, did you know that CA actually produces more cheese than Wisconsin? I almost got punched in the face once when I told a friend from Oshkosh that lol
Their actually called Wisconsinites
We are called Wisconsinites...not "Sconies" or never even heard of "Sconics".
@@dvh_voltz9761 good to know
CA does not produce more cheese. Wisconsin produced over a billion pounds more than California in 2021 (3.5 billion in WI, 2.5 billion in CA). Not sure where you heard the lie that CA leads WI. Not even close. No wonder you almost got punched. Surprised it’s an “almost” 😂
@joseph van dyke - California is the 2nd largest cheese producer in the nation, and produced 2,312,895 lbs of cheese last year. It has at many times surpassed Wisconsin in production of cheese. Wisconsin and California are in a perpetual race. But Wisconsin is known as a cheese producing state, California isn’t, because Wisconsin has that as its big production item, whereas California is more famous for producing other things - Movies, movie stars, wine, tech, etc. so people don’t think of it as a state that is actually HUGE in agriculture and farming. Which it is. Whereas farming is the thing Wisconsin is known for. Sorry your panties are in a bunch about that fact. I hope you get over it soon and stop threatening people online about FACTS.
I'm trying to escape the humidity of Arkansas and wrongfully assumed Wisconsin wouldn't be humid 😟
Don't get me wrong it's less humid than Arkansas, just not as dry as out west like CO. Currently it's 83 with 63% humidity. Could be worse but still some humidity in the air. Heat index can hit 100 with humidity, but that is usually only a handful of days/weeks each summer and then a storm comes through and we get back to 80's with moderate humidity. What % humidity do you have consistently in AK?
@@livinginmadisonwi in AR we have average relative humidity of 71% but it reaches into the 80s frequently. Today it is 101° with only 51% humidity.
@@ts4426 The daily avg relative humidity is 73% here, but the temps are going to be much less in the summer of course.
@@livinginmadisonwi true, high humidity at 83° is a different feeling than it would be at 101°. Thank you for your swift responses.
@@ts4426 Of course, stay cool!
That's houston humidity
Sorry the whole midwest is humid and has mosquitoes
What. The bars have food too,😅.
1st thing is stay away from Mad town. the idiots on the beltline will drive a person insane.
I'm a "FIB" (look it up if you don't know what that means!). I've been in hiding, here in Wisconsin, for the last 50 years. I have a daughter who was born here. Can I claim citizenship in Wisconsin, and be allowed to wear a cheese head.............based on that?
Haha, you lived here longer than I have so yes I think a cheesehead has been more than earned!
Glad to see you admitting you are a fib!
Props to you on that
Just moved to Wisconsin and it's been a real eye opener.😳
Just displacing more wisconsinites thanks bud
Hi I am a Illinois where are your cheese hats and what is a cheese curd oh ya go bears 😮
lol…how dare you cheer the Bears here…lol. Yeah we do need some cheese heads to make an appearance at some point!
Not about Madison but I have curiosity about HAYWARD , May you tell sort of resume of characteristics as you did here in this video? Thanks from
Italy
I don’t know a lot about Hayward other than many people like that area. I would assume much of the same. Since it’s further North it’s definitely colder than Madison!
Hayward is Great, but jobs are few, Land values are lower because of fewer jobs. Hayward is a vacation destination for most people with money or cabins up North. The hospital and health care in the Hayward area are crap! Duluth or Minneapolis is the closest decent medical facility available. ( if you want to live) Otherwise, it has a Walmart. And drug use problems. But it's too cold for homeless people. Good Luck
Aah Wisconsin, where the kids may have to wear snow suits under their Halloween costumes. Not happy with the Wisconsin weather? Wait a minute, it will change!
LOL!#Truth!
IL drivers are not “conservative” in any manner. Maybe they should learn how to conserve one speed and gtfo the left lane to let people pass
Tall grass is tick land.
For sure, wear a hat when in the woods is a good practice!
I’m in Milwaukee an I never been there smh
You were afraid to tell us about the FIBs.
I cannot stand those WI drivers now that I am a FIB. Raised in Greenfield, WI.
I will disagree with the Illinois driving situation. I work in Wisconsin and let me tell ya, Wisconsin people are aggressive drivers who tail and want to fight if you don’t move over for them. Really!?!!
