Reader Comments

Hey John - thanks for linking to the NYT Milwaukee article. I've really enjoyed my couple of short visits to Milwaukee and it's one city that I rave about to friends and look forward to returning to. I believe it's completely underrated and I get laughed at when I tell people I love it there.
