Just a random question: How many people are Wisconsinites here?


RubySlippers

I was born and lived up there awhile, I miss Cops Burgers and Custard in Milwaukee.

Not me but my family is from there!!!!!

Any Wisconsinites recommend it as a place to settle down? I hate it here on the West Coast. Cold doesn't bother me but don't like excessive heat. Want someplace people aren't shallow jerks or horrendous drivers. I thought going at least as far as central U.S. or East Coast would be a nice change of pace. An insider's perspective would be awesome.
Considering a permanent retirement from Elliquiy, but you can find me on Blue Moon (under the same username).

Then you'll want to avoid Sheboygan, Mathim. A massive amount of the current generation here has proved to have those aspects and more. On more generalized note, our governor is a massive (education-destroying) twit. I more have a "It's a horrid place, but it's my horrid place that I've made too many good connections in" sentiment about it.

By that I assume you mean California. *sigh* Oregon and Washington never get any love. If you're thinking about moving to the Midwest, should look for an area of it that isn't subject to those massive storms or Tornadoes.

I thought I'd always love to live in Oregon or Washington state. :|

I just don't have the money to move all the way across the country.
If you're searching the lines for a point, well you've probably missed it; there was never anything there in the first place.

*nods*  Many place names in Wisconsin are derived from the local Native American languages (Menasha, Manitowoc, Waupun) or the names that the early French settlers used (Fond du Lac, Butte des Morts, Prairie du Chien).  Wisconsin itself was originally an Algonquin word, or at least that's the current theory -- Meskonsing, which was mispronounced by the French and slowly morphed into Wisconsin.  :)
