Oh Milwaukee…. We have been on a road trip for the last seven months and have done “bus tours” in Austin, San Antonio, St. Augustine, Savanah, Charleston, Ashville and New York and this was the best! First of all who would have thought that Milwaukee was so interesting – We all know about the beer but did you know that at one time Milwaukee was home to the highest habitable building in the country?
So the City was a delightful surprise but what made this trip better than the others was Mike. Mike is a young man who is in love with his city. He not only knows the history (this is usually the expertise of old tour directors) but is excited about the present. The Tour talks about the history but the stops are at new businesses in the repurposed downtown area. Mike is so excited about this city that he has spent the last three years building this business and dreams of staying forever. His youth, energy and excitement is contagious and if you go on a nice day, you will start thinking about moving to Milwaukee.
Go on a weekday so you can get in City Hall….
