milwaukee

A city that began on the banks of the Milwaukee River and Lake Michigan in the 1830's. Breweries like Blatz, Schiltz, Miller, Pabst, and many othes all started in the city. The 1970's saw a decline in industry and Milwaukee was added to the rust belt city list. Deteriationg factories and homes litter the inner city, but downtown and the far east-side is sprawling. Million dollar condos on Farwell avenue, the re-birth of the Historic 3rd Ward, and Brady Street are just a few positives of Milwaukee's progress. Also just northwest of downtown used to be the worst area that you prayed that you woulnd't never to set foot in. Now the area near Johnson's Park is slowly improving and drug houses from this area are beind revitelised. Also gang violence has declined since the "Notorious 90's" when homicides saw there highest in 1991 at 168. In 2004 homicides took a drastic dip to only 88, but then recoiled to the cities average of 125 per year. Homicides have stayed relitivley low lately in the city, because of the great care that homicide team in area hospitals give. Though the city may have a reliviley low homicide rate, there where approx. 640 shootings in 2005, that number skyrocketed to over 800 shootings in 2006. So far in April there have been 28 homicides, but once June, July and August roll around those numbers go up. Milwaukee's homicide rate is twice as high as New York City's. Milwaukee's infant mortality rate is higher today than it was in 1978. 46% of African American's in Milwaukee, live in segregated, high poverty areas, while in Boston only 6% of African Americans live in such areas. Milwaukee will some day be a safer city, and don't think Milwaukee is a bad ass city(take a look at Camden NJ, New Orleans, and others). It is a very diverse city, has one of the best theater distric's in the country, a phenominal art museum, zoo, and a horticultural conservatory(The Domes). There is lots of great food, places to stay, and it has the largeast music festivel in the world!

milwaukee

Wisconsin's largest city and where all the colored folk inhabit when forced out of the rural communities. It's a place for all the small town kids in neighboring areas to go when not tipping cows, mudding, or consuming vast amounts of beer and hard liquor. Provides great summer entertainment with many varities of festivals-most importantly summerfest, the largest music festival in the United States. Milwaukee also holds the best concert venue, The Rave. And if you survive a night of drinking here, go to state street in Madison during a badger game or on Halloween.

For instance, I was dominated at Summerfest in Milwaukee by all the Wisconsinite drinkers. I am from Illinois and can't compare the to the awesomeness of those professionals. I should not be allowed near a vehicle and should have my license immediately revoked for being such a fuckhead driver.

OVERRATED! i live here and i make music that isnt typical house, rap, indie rock, rock or metal and i have nowhere to go. new and different is something nobody will allow or wants to touch. House music dominates over 50% of the clubs here as if its the "new big thing". and it was, in 1994! rap music has about 40% of the bars/clubs. oh yeah and most the clubs are as big as your apartment! there are a few larger bars/clubs but they still feel really small and they get so crowded you cant move and its all top 40 pop music.

looking for actors or to do a film project, GOOD LUCK!

musical celebrity-Coo Coo Cal (currently in jail? or moved)
film celebrity-some guy that got his movie on IFC.

they still claim Heather Graham as one of their own even though she moved out of milwaukee to L.A. when she was 12, long looonng before she was famous.

---a lot of famous indie bands (and even famous famous ones) skip over milwaukee. next time your fav acts go on tour ask yourself why so many skip milwaukee!

--looked into joining the green party and only 5 40 year olds show up for the meetings. im moderately liberal but big on the environment.

--every sunday 4 black people are on the news because 2 got shot and killed by the other 2 over the weekend. sadly im not kidding, at all.

--the brewers and the bucks wont pay for coaches and the teams cant make it to the playoffs.

--a lot of racism

--republicans seem to like it.

MUSICIANS AND FILM MAKERS RUUUUUUNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!
moving to chicago

---the hot girls at the clubs downtown tend to be "models". there are no models in milwaukee, they are strippers. all of them

--guys downtown all seem to be rich independent contractors or landscapers. yeah right

---i went and saw 2 dj's spin one night and they both totally totally blew their sets horribly beyond horrible. they ended the song at the synth build/bridge to the peak! if you dont get that, its like the guitar player throwing his guitar into the crowd before the song is over, but doing it 5 times during one show!

-advertised for actors/actresses and got 4 responses. 2 were from chicago.

--nobody is anybody around here in the music scene because no one besides the shitty house dj's can make a living on their music.

--the South Park episode where they send the guy from 2 years in the past to Des Moines says it all, only Milwaukee is 10 years behind and as far as the segregation goes its more like 50.
