Povijest i kultura

Ljudska povijest Milwaukeeja započinje ljudima američkih Indijanaca koji su stoljećima živjeli u blizini utoka triju rijeka Milwaukeeja u jezero Michigan. Plemena koja su naseljavala područje koje je danas Milwaukee uključuju Menominee, Fox, Mascouten, Sauk i Potawatomi. Dolaskom Europljana i sve većim brojem stanovništva velike i često nasilne podjele postaju sve izraženije. Ovi su doseljenici sagradili tri dvobojna naselja, Juneautown, Kilbourntown i Walker's Point, oko današnjeg centra. Dvije bivše zajednice bile su izuzetno konkurentne i stvorile su dvije nestalne ulične mreže. Zbog toga je 1. ulica zapadno od rijeke Milwaukee, a mnogi gradski mostovi dijagonalno prelaze rijeku (povezujući dvije mreže).

Milwaukee je u povijesti bio glavni imigrantski grad. Početkom 20. stoljeća njemački i poljski imigranti dominirali su. Grad se još uvijek snažno identificira sa svojom njemačkom i poljskom baštinom. Za početak 20. stoljeća njemački je čak bio i glavni jezik grada, a njemačka su imena još uvijek vrlo česta.

Kako su valovi imigranata stizali u Milwaukee, oni su skloni (i teže) stvarati zajednice u određenim područjima. Bliska sjeverna i sjeverozapadna strana izvorno su bile Nijemci, ali sada su uglavnom Afroamerikanke s enklavama Hmong. Bliska južna strana izvorno je bila poljska, ali sada je uglavnom meksička. Juneautown su izvorno uglavnom naseljavali engleski imigranti, kao i ljudi s istoka Sjedinjenih Država.

Šezdesetih i sedamdesetih mnogi su se bijeli Milwaukeeans preselili u predgrađa ("bijeli let") stvarajući veliku rasnu i socijalno-ekonomsku podjelu između grada i predgrađa. Danas je grad i dalje visoko odvojen s niskim stopama socijalne i ekonomske mobilnosti za Afroamerikance.

Milwaukee je dom nekih trenutno prepoznatih korporacija poput Miller Brewing i Harley Davidson. Harley održava ogromno slavlje svake pete godišnjice. 120. godišnjica proslavit će se u kolovozu 2023. godine.

Milwaukee je nekoć bio dom četiri najveće svjetske pivovare (Schlitz, Blatz, Pabst i Miller), što ga je dugi niz godina činilo brodom broj jedan na svijetu. Unatoč padu svoje pozicije vodećeg svjetskog proizvođača piva zbog gubitka tri od tih pivovara, jedne od preostalih glavnih pivovara, Miller Brewing Company je ključni poslodavac. Miller zapošljava preko 2200 ljudi na zapadnoj strani Milwaukeeja. Sve ovo kuhanje piva gradu je dalo nadimak "Grad piva", a njegovo poistovjećivanje i naklonost prema pivu i dalje je snažno kao i uvijek.

Milwaukee se reklamirao kao "Grad festivala", posebno ističući godišnju ljetnu zabavu uz obalu jezera tzv. Summerfest. Uvršten u Guinnessovu knjigu svjetskih rekorda kao "najveći glazbeni festival na svijetu", Summerfest privlači oko milijun posjetitelja godišnje na svojih dvanaest pozornica. Manji etnički festivali tijekom ljeta slave mnoge etničke skupine Milwaukeeja.

Geografija

Milwaukee je na sjevernom Srednjem zapadu, uz obale jezera Michigan. Udaljeno je oko 90 milja sjeverno od Chicaga i 330 milja jugoistočno od Minneapolisa / Saint Paula.

Gledati

Milwaukee je s TV-a vjerojatno najpoznatiji kao postavke sitcoma iz 1970-ih Laverne i Shirley i Sretni dani. Također je poslužio kao kulisa za brojne holivudske filmove. Filmovi Djeveruše, Transformatori 3, Gospodine 3000 i Milwaukee, Minnesota bili postavljeni u tom području. Milwaukee, Minnesota daje dobar zimski portret grada i uglavnom je snimljen u četvrti Bay View.

Vremenski obrasci u Milwaukeeu mogu varirati svakodnevno, često s malo konzistentnosti u temperaturi ili uvjetima. Ljeti se temperature mogu kretati od čak 16 ° C do 60 ° F (41 ° C). Zimi temperatura može redovito padati ispod -18 ° C, ali može doseći i do 40 ° F (4 ° C). Općenito, šest mjeseci u godini je hladno, oblačno i mokro. Milwaukee je drugi najhladniji grad u zemlji; zima je jako duga i hladna! Proljeće je često vrlo mokro, a ponekad hladno i jadno. Nije nečuveno da padne snijeg početkom travnja. Zimski posjetitelj može brzo shvatiti zašto u Milwaukeeju ima toliko barova, kuglana i festivala. Najbolje vrijeme za posjet je daleko ljeti ili početkom jeseni tijekom indijskog ljeta kada cijelo mjesto oživi i kad su svi vani.

Karta Milwaukeeja

Postoji niz gotovo svakog načina prijevoza koji se može doći do Milwaukeeja. Najjeftiniji je put autobusom, ali mnogi putnici više vole udobnost i udobnost putovanja zrakom, brodom, automobilom ili vlakom. Chicago, masivno prometno čvorište, udaljeno je manje od 161 km.

Avionom

Međunarodna zračna luka Milwaukee Mitchell

Milwaukee poslužuje 1 Međunarodna zračna luka Milwaukee Mitchell (MKE IATA). Jugoistočno od grada.

Zračna luka ima uslugu sljedećim zrakoplovnim kompanijama iz svoja 2 dvorana.

Izravni međunarodni letovi nude se nekoliko puta dnevno od Kanada, a sezonski od Meksiko, Dominikanska Republika i Jamajka. Ostali međunarodni putnici morat će se povezati ili letjeti do Chicaga i uzeti zemaljski prijevoz.

Kopneni prijevoz:

  • Autobusi tranzitnog sustava okruga Milwaukee (MCTS) redovito izvodite zračne luke od otprilike 4 ujutro do 2 ujutro. Cijena karte je 2,25 USD (potrebna je točna promjena). The GreenLine brzi autobus vozi od zračne luke Mitchell do sjeverne obale preko Bay Viewa, Trećeg odjela, istočnog ruba centra grada i istočne strane. Ruta 80 ide od Mitchella kroz južnu stranu do sredine centra grada i nastavlja prema sjeveru do avenije Villard (obje linije prelaze glavni tranzitni koridor avenije Wisconsin i zaustavljaju se nekoliko blokova od intermodalne stanice.)
  • Idite do zračne luke zajednički taxi-van prijevoz. Otprilike 12 dolara do centra grada.
  • Taksi otprilike 30 dolara do centra grada.
  • Autobus autobus ili vlak je alternativa, ali samo brža ako imate sreće s vremenom i ako trebate otići do ili blizu Intermodalne stanice. Nekoliko autobusnih linija (Badger, Wisconsin Coach USA, Lamers) i vlak Amtrak Hiawatha idu prema centru na putu kao dio dolaznih ili odlaznih daljnjih usluga. Svi autobusi (i prijevoz do željezničke stanice u zračnoj luci) kreću se odmah izvan mjesta za predaju prtljage, ako imate sreće, čeka se jedan (u prosjeku ima 1-2 na sat). 4-6 USD.

Alternativne zračne luke

Glavne zračne luke u Chicagu—Međunarodna zračna luka O'Hare (NARUČI IATA) ili Zračna luka Midway (MDW IATA) - mogu biti jeftinije ili lakše alternative, posebno za odredišta koja se ne poslužuju iz Milwaukeeja. Iz zračne luke Chicago O'Hare do intermodalnog kolodvora Milwaukee i zračne luke Milwaukee Mitchell, koji vodi Linije trenera Wisconsina. 26. dolara Moguće je voziti se CTA 'L' vlakom iz bilo koje zračne luke u Chicagu do postaje Chicago Union (2,25 dolara iz Midwaya, 5 dolara iz O'Hare), a zatim ići u Milwaukee autobusom ili Amtrakom, štedeći vrijeme ili novac na nekima slučajevi. Uz idealno vrijeme možete stići željeznicom iz Midwaya do centra grada Milwaukeeja za manje od 3 sata od slijetanja. Međutim, mnogi letovi stižu u Chicago nakon ili blizu vremena kada taj dan prestaje usluga prijevoza ili željeznice. Greyhound nudi kasne vožnje do Milwaukeeja iz svog skladišta u centru grada, u slučaju kasnog dolaska u Chicago, ali nije za one slabih srca. Hrt također ima nekoliko autobusa svaki dan od stanice Cumberland CTA Blue Line, samo dvije stanice izvan O'Hare na CTA plavoj liniji 'L'.

Centar Milwaukeeja

Obilazak Milwaukeeja je jednostavan. Brojevi blokova dosljedni su u cijelom gradu, uključujući većinu predgrađa, počevši otprilike tamo gdje se spajaju rijeke Milwaukee i Menominee. Sve ulice s brojevima vode sjever-jug, povećavajući se brojem dok krećete prema zapadu iz 1. ulice. Većina imenovanih ulica idu prema istoku-zapadu, s izuzetkom ulica istočno od 1. st. Standardni blokovi su 1/8 milje dugi sjever prema jugu i 1/16 milje istok prema zapadu.

Javnim prijevozom

Tranzitni sustav okruga Milwaukee (MCTS)

Milwaukeejev autobusni sustav, MCTS, ima široko područje pokrivenosti (85% okruga Milwaukee) i osnovne rute s vrlo čestim uslugama. Udaljena predgrađa imaju kraće radno vrijeme, sporiju i rjeđu uslugu. Ekspresni autobusi nazvani "Freeway Flyers" pružaju izvrsnu uslugu od parka i voze se po cijeloj županiji do centra grada, kao i pivarske igre i festivale, štedeći vam gnjavažu u prometu, parkiranju i brizi za vožnju u pijanom stanju. Ekspresni autobusi pod nazivom "UBuses" nude uslugu Sveučilištu Wisconsin-Milwaukee. MCTS također opslužuje međunarodnu zračnu luku Mitchell i lokalnim autobusom i novom, bržom rutom; vidjeti Uđi za detalje. Većina ruta vozi od oko 5 ujutro do najmanje ponoći.

Vozne karte:
MCTS ima beskontaktnu pametnu karticu poznatu kao M • KARTICA koji vam omogućuje učitavanje pohranjene vrijednosti i prolaza. Jednokratna naknada iznosi 2 USD za kupnju M • KARTICE, koju možete kupiti putem Interneta ili u 100 prodajnih mjesta u okrugu Milwaukee; ne prodaju ih vozači autobusa. Ako ćete puno koristiti javni prijevoz dok ste u Milwaukeeju, bilo bi dobro nabaviti M • KARTICU jer su eliminirani papirnati transferi za gotovinske karte.

  • Pojedinačne vožnje: 2,25 USD gotovine (bez transfera) ili 2 USD pohranjene vrijednosti na M • KARTICI (uključuje neograničene transfere u roku od 90 minuta)
  • Jednodnevna propusnica na M • KARTICI: 4 USD ako se kupi na prodajnom mjestu ili kupi u autobusu s pohranjenom vrijednošću, 5 USD ako se gotovinom plaća autobusom za učitavanje dnevnog prijenosa na karticu (dobro od prve upotrebe do 04:59 sljedećeg jutra)
  • Sedmodnevna propusnica za M • KARTICU: 19,50 USD (dobro od prve upotrebe do kraja usluge 7. dana)
  • 31-dnevna propusnica za M • KARTICU: 64 USD (dobra od prvog korištenja do kraja usluge 31. dana)

Vozači prihvaćaju točnu cijenu samo za one koji plaćaju gotovinom. Ako nemate točnu promjenu, nećete imati drugog izbora nego doplatiti (iako povrat možete dobiti kasnije, ne vrijedi se potruditi).

Postoje automatizirane audio-vizualne najave zaustavljanja. Ako su vam potrebne bilo kakve informacije, oklijevajte zatražiti pomoć autobusnog prijevoznika. Većina vozača dobro poznaje grad i rado će vam dati upute ili nazvati stanicu.

Turistička kolica

Petlja kolica česta je redovita autobusna petlja (tematska kao kolica) koju sponzoriraju lokalne tvrtke. Vožnje su 1 USD, iako je usluga sezonska.

Regionalne službe

  • Okrug Ozaukee opslužuje Ozaukee County Express iz centra Milwaukeeja (neke usluge i do južne strane Milwaukeeja) hodnikom I-43. Tranzit okruga Ozaukee također nudi zajedničke usluge vožnje taksijem.
  • Prigradski prijevoz okruga Washington (WCCE)
  • Linije trenera Wisconsina ponuditi uslugu od Racinea i Kenosha na jugu do centra Milwaukeeja, te od Waukeshe i Mukwonaga na zapadu do centra Milwaukeeja i do Sveučilišta Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Biciklom

Milwaukee je 2004. i 2009. dobio brončani status iz Lige američkih biciklista. Biciklističke karte[mrtva veza] dostupni su u gradu ili na prodaju u lokalnim trgovinama. Ako vremenske prilike dozvole, Milwaukee je vrlo ugodno mjesto za bicikl. Postoji nekoliko odvojenih biciklističkih staza i mreža ležernih staza zvanih Hrastova staza. Neke su čak i ograničene pristupne staze (mislite: biciklistička cesta), kao i 105 km (105 km) uličnih biciklističkih staza i 75 km (121 km) potpisanih biciklističkih ruta (grad želi povećati taj broj na nekoliko stotina milja uličnih biciklističkih staza jer su ulice ponovno asfaltirane).

Dijeljenje bicikla

Bublr bicikli je Milwaukeeov sustav dijeljenja bicikla. Biciklističke stanice uglavnom su koncentrirane u širem središtu grada i na Istočnoj strani. Pojedinačne vožnje koštaju 3 USD za 30 minuta, a mogu se platiti kreditnom karticom na bilo kojoj biciklističkoj stanici. Bublr također prodaje internet karte za 30 dana za 15 dolara, što omogućava neograničene besplatne vožnje u koracima od 60 minuta; dodatne izbjegavanja možete izbjeći vraćanjem bicikla u tom roku i uskakanjem novog.

Iznajmljivanje bicikala i ture

Trgovine za bicikle često su spremni iznajmiti i prodaju visokokvalitetne proizvode koji se često proizvode lokalno:

  • Ben's Cycle / Milwaukee Bicycle Company prodaje vrhunske lokalno proizvedene bicikle i ima najbolji izbor staza i fiksni zupčanik oprema na Srednjem zapadu.
  • Milwaukee Bicycle Collective korisno je ako vam je potreban prostor i neki alati za popravljanje bicikla tijekom putovanja, odabrali su radno vrijeme i predložili stope donacija.

Prilično je lako pronaći rabljeni bicikl u dobrom radnom stanju u lokalnim trgovinama štedionicama, što je puno jeftinije od iznajmljivanja ako ćete u gradu boraviti neko dulje vrijeme.

Svi MCTS autobusi imaju nosače za bicikle koji se mogu besplatno koristiti za vožnju autobusom, pa ako se umorite, izgubite, vrijeme se pokvari ili što god uskočite u autobus.

Taksijem

Iako postoji puno taksija koji će zadovoljiti potražnju, nemojte očekivati ​​da ćete jedan jednostavno označiti. Uz značajne iznimke redova čekanja u većim hotelima, zračnoj luci, željezničkom i autobusnom kolodvoru, većinom nazočnim događanjima i većem dijelu centra grada, trebali biste zatražiti jedan. Čak i odlazak s gornje istočne strane do centra grada može koštati 20 dolara. Tvrtka broj jedan je Yellow Cab (☏ 1 414 271-1800).

U toplijim (a povremeno i hladnijim) mjesecima postoje alternativni načini dobivanja točke od točke do točke.

  • Konjske zaprege dostupni su u centru grada, a ponekad i na istočnoj strani, a često i izvan javnih događaja.

Automobilom

Iako je autobusom moguće ići do mnogih predgrađa, neki turisti više vole vožnju. Automobil za najam možete preuzeti u zračnoj luci Milwaukee General Mitchell Field. Na mjestu postoji nekoliko agencija za iznajmljivanje automobila koje vam mogu pomoći da se krećete po gradu bez obzira posjećujete li to područje ili lokalno vozilo koje vozi privremeno vozilo.

Parkiranje u centru grada i u nekim poslovnim četvrtima (na istočnoj strani, u nekim predgrađima) košta. Pripazite na elektronička brojila: na svakom će se mjestu nalaziti broj, a trebate ga platiti na automatu dolje u bloku (prihvaćaju se kartice). Posjetitelji koji se preko noći parkiraju na gradskim ulicama trebali bi nazvati Grad ☏ 1 414 286-8300 do 01:00 zatražiti dozvolu za parkiranje. Parkiranje preko noći također se može besplatno registrirati (do 3 noći) na mreži na noćno parkiralište DPW-a.

Parkiranje izvan centra grada / istočne strane općenito nije problem. Uvjeti u prometu se razlikuju.

Pivovare

Zabrana i Al Capone

Brew City teško je pogođen zabranom, ogroman dio lokalne ekonomije je zatvoren, a žedni Milwaukeanci nisu mogli popiti svoju tugu. 20-ih godina prošlog stoljeća Chicago gangsterska aktivnost došla je na sjever u Milwaukee tijekom razdoblja zabrane. Al Capone, primijetio je čikaški mafijaš, vlasnik kuće u predgrađu Milwaukeeja Brookfield, gdje se izrađivao mjesečina. Kuća i dalje stoji u ulici koja nosi ime Caponea.

Pivovare su sastavni dio imidža Milwaukeeja. Iako se broj velikih operacija smanjio u posljednjem desetljeću, nadimak "Grad piva" i dalje zvuči istinito, a mikropivovare cvjetaju. Na nekoliko mjesta po gradu miris kvasca iz tvornica piva prilično je jak. Milwaukee je nekoć bio dom četiri najveće svjetske pivovare: Schlitz, Blatz, Pabst i Miller. Dugi niz godina bio je grad broj jedan na svijetu za proizvodnju piva. Od te četvorice ostao je samo Miller.

  • Pivovarska tvrtka Miller-Coors nudi izvrsne ture, a ima i posjetiteljski centar u svom gigantskom pivarskom kompleksu na zapadnoj strani Milwaukeeja. Miller i Coors spojili su se i upravljali pivovarom, ali turneja se još uvijek temelji na povijesnoj Millerovoj operaciji. Turneja započinje kratkim video zapisom poznatih Millerovih reklama, nastavlja se do izvorne pivovare kako bi demonstrirao rast i napredak tvrtke, a završava u pubu na malo kušanja piva. Za uspostavljanje poziva za obilazak ☏ 1-800-944-5483 (1-800-944-LITE) ili posjetite njihovu web stranicu.

Sportski

Milwaukee has memorable moments in sports history, with the Brewers and Bucks most likely to interest travelers.

Neighborhood visits

  • Downtown - Downtown Milwaukee consists of two neighborhoods which sit across the Milwaukee River from each other.

Juneautown (or Eastown), between the lake and the river, is the financial heart of the city, as well as the place where Milwaukee was born. The city's tallest building, the 601-foot USBank Tower, is here along the lake, as are some of the other architecturally significant buildings, including the Cathedral of St. John and Milwaukee's City Hall. There are a number of coffee shops and restaurants, but except for around Cathedral Square and Milwaukee Street area mostly closes down after business hours.

Across the river, Kilbourntown (or Westown) serves as the city's entertainment center. Here you will find attractions such as the Wisconsin Center, Milwaukee's primary convention center. Nearby are the Grand Avenue Mall, the Milwaukee Theater, and the Bradley Center. Many of the city's hotels are here as well, as are some excellent restaurants and clubs. Further to the west is Milwaukee's gigantic neo-classical Courthouse, the Milwaukee Public Museum, and the ornate Milwaukee Central Library. While none of the city's tall buildings have public observatories, you can get a fantastic view from Polaris, the revolving restaurant perched atop the Hyatt Regency in the heart of Kilbourntown.

The Riverwalk lines both sides of the Milwaukee River through the downtown area, and is home to a number of pieces of public art, as well as some of the city's most popular restaurants.

Street in the Third Ward
  • Historic Third Ward - This small district, directly to the south of Juneautown, is Milwaukee's version of the trendy urban "warehouse district." The streets of the Third Ward are lined with 19th and early 20th-century warehouse buildings which have been converted into lofts and offices. At street level, chic shops and restaurants are commonplace. The area is also an entertainment hub. The Eisner Museum of Advertising and Design is at 208 N Water St, blocks from the Broadway Theater Center, home of the Skylight Opera. On the ward's southern boundary -the Milwaukee River - one can find the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design (or just MIAD), which is the centerpiece of the city's art scene. On Gallery Night, which occurs once every three months, the Third Ward hums with activity, as it is home to the city's largest collection of art galleries. The Third Ward is also home to the newest section of the Riverwalk, which offers some fantastic views of the downtown skyline. The Third Ward is within walking distance of downtown.
  • Fifth Ward/Walker's Point Founded by George Walker in June of 1835 as a fur trading post, Walker's settlement was combined with Juneautown and Kilbourntown to become the City of Milwaukee in 1846. Walker also contributed to the building of the city's first streetcar line in 1859. Walker's Point is south of the Third Ward, and is served by the #18, 15, and 19 buses from Downtown. The northern part of the neighborhood (especially north of National Avenue) is a rapidly re-developing warehouse district, home to many popular restaurants, cafes, clubs, and bars, while the southern and western parts are mainly Hispanic. The neighborhood is also the center of Milwaukee's gay scene.
  • Avenues West/Marquette is the neighborhood immediately west of Downtown. Home to Marquette University, the area has a large student population, and consists mainly of mid-rise apartments and walk-ups as well as many of the city's social services institutions. The neighborhood is relatively seedy the further away you get from the university, although its not particularly dangerous. The Pabst Mansion and Rave/Eagle's Ballroom (music venue) are in the neighborhood, along Wisconsin Avenue.
  • Martin Luther King Drive - A period of urban renewal has revitalized this neighborhood with brand new restaurants, coffee houses and jazz, blues and neo-soul lounges. It is known as the epicenter of African-American commerce in Wisconsin. From downtown, simply continue north on Old World 3rd Street which turns into Martin Luther King Drive. The #19 bus runs the entire length of the street.
  • The East Side. This neighborhood stretches from downtown to the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee. Sandwiched between the Milwaukee River and Lake Michigan, it is home to high-rises, elegant mansions, college students, and everything in between. The areas around Brady Street and North Avenue are particularly lively, with many different local shops, restaurants and bars. The number 30 bus runs from Downtown down Farwell/Prospect every few minutes during the day, and the #15 runs down Water, Brady, and Oakland. At Brady, Ogden, and Lafayette there are steps down to the parks and beaches along the lake. 
  • Riverwest - An older working-class neighborhood bordered by the Milwaukee River or the south and east and Holton Street on the west. Riverwest is one of the most racially integrated in the city. As the East Side and Downtown have gentrified, Riverwest has become an increasingly diverse neighborhood, and is also home to much of the hipster and alternative scenes in Milwaukee. Amongst the many hipsters, one can still find plenty of Puerto Rican families and grandmothers. Center Street and Clarke Street are the main commercial areas of the neighborhood. The buses 10 (Humboldt Ave) and 14 (Holton St) stop at both streets on their way north from Downtown.
  • Bay View - A vibrant area on the city's south shore with lots of neighborhood bars and restaurants. Number 15 bus south from downtown. Kinnickinnic Avenue is the neighborhood's main street and is lined with shops, bar, restaurants, and cafes.
  • Historic Mitchell Street - This once Polish center is now home to some of Milwaukee's most vibrant Hispanic culture. The busiest area of the street is between 6th and 13th Streets. The #54 bus runs down Mitchell, and the 80, 19, and 14 connect the neighborhood to Downtown.

Parkovi

Milwaukee has one of the best public parks systems in the country. The area of parkland and beaches along the lake is the crown jewel of the system, and gets very busy during good weather.

  • Cathedral Square Park - This park is a square in the center of the city, bordered by Kilbourn on the North, Wells on the South, Jackson on the East and Jefferson on the West. It is most notable for Jazz In the Park, free outdoor Jazz concerts on Thursday evenings during the summer.
  • Veteran's Park - This park is by the lakefront, just north of the Art Museum and War Memorial. Veteran's Park includes a lagoon where you can rent a paddle boat, a kite store, and bike rentals.
  • McKinley Marina and Beach - McKinley Park is a great place for people who want to fish or relax on the beach. Many people also love to stroll out on the giant breakwater that goes out into Lake Michigan. During the summer, there are plenty of fishermen here as well. An easy way to get to McKinley Park is to take the Brady Street pedestrian bridge over Lincoln Memorial Drive (from the Brady Street area), or just walk North from Veteran's Park.
  • Bradford Beach - This is one of the larger beaches in the Milwaukee area, and has seen an influx of money which has led to significant improvements, including the renovation of the beautiful art deco beach house.
  • Lake Park - Lake Park was designed and built by Frederick Law Olmsted, the same man who built Central Park in New York. It is one of Milwaukee's most beautiful parks and can be found by going up the hill (West) on the North end of Bradford Beach.

The area has a wide employment base, with companies ranging from high-tech and specialty manufacturing firms (GE Medical, Harley Davidson) to retail and finance corporations (Kohl's, Northwestern Mutual).

The Milwaukee-Racine metropolitan area was also rated one of the Top 20 Hot Cities for Entrepreneurs in 2005.

Alternative Economies

The Cream City had a socialist city government for several decades, the only city in the United States to have had this political leaning. The city has a strong labor union network, organized due to poor treatment of the massive amount of industry workers. Today, unions remain very controversial and are constantly given as a reason businesses outsource or move production out of state. Collectivism has gained some new steam. Collectives include the artists of Borg Ward, designers at Sparrow Collective, Brewing Grounds for Change Coffee, as well as several food-coops like the Riverwest Coop.

Milwaukee is one of the best places to get products made in Wisconsin. From fine food to Harley Davidson Motorcycles, Milwaukee offers amazing variety and quality for very reasonable prices.

Several shopping malls are outside of the city. There are a few shopping areas including the Third Ward and the East Side around Prospect and North or Brady St as well as other shops of assorted types across the city.

Nightlife

There's no shortage of night life in the Brew City. Milwaukeeans spend more (per capita) on entertainment than the citizenry of any other major American city, and you can bet that a good percentage of that entertainment is served in liquid form. Despite the amount of money spent on it, drinking is still very cheap. Expect to pay $4 for a decent local beer or import, $2 for a Pabst, Hamm's, Old Style or Schlitz. Read the specials boards, there are often great deals, for instance, a pint of a dark local micro-brew for $2 several places on Thursday and many places have $1 PBR or Old Style. Cover is only charged at some places with live music, bigger clubs, or if there is a special very cheap drink night. Every bar can serve you mixed drinks, but wine is less popular. Closing time is an early 2AM during the week and 2:30AM on Friday and Saturday. All retail alcohol sales stop at 9PM.

With 957 licensed taverns it's hard to go thirsty. There is a corner bar at least every few blocks, no matter where you are in Milwaukee. Plus there are several handfuls of licensed dance halls (what kids call clubs and venues these days), if you want to get your groove on. Other popular nighttime activities include bowling (black-light bowling at midnight), movies, concerts, and theater.

Many of the main places to go out in Milwaukee are concentrated in a few different areas, which are easy to walk around and bar-hop within. Cabs are also easy to hail Downtown and on the East Side.

Downtown the biggest bar street is Water St with a heavy drinking scene. Across the river to the west is Old World 3rd St with some German-inspired taverns and sports bars (it's near the Bradley Center arena).

Spavati

Posjetiteljima Milwaukeeja najlakše je boraviti u centru grada ili u njegovoj blizini, gdje je većina gradskih hotela. Milwaukee ima hostel za mlade i niz hotela koji zadovoljavaju većinu proračuna. Postoji mala krevet i doručak okrugu na zapadnoj strani.

Jeftini hoteli mogu se naći na bliskoj južnoj strani, kao i na sjevernoj strani, kvaliteta ovih proizvoda odražava prosječnu kvalitetu života u područjima u kojima se nalaze, pa stoga možda nije u skladu sa standardima relativno imućnih putnika.

Općenitiji jeftiniji hoteli nalaze se izvan urbanog grada. Na primjer, postoji niz povoljnih hotela na College Ave u blizini međunarodne zračne luke Mitchell. U blizini većine međudržavnih država također možete pronaći lančane hotele.

Ostati siguran

Milwaukee, kao i svi glavni američki gradovi, ima relativno visoku stopu kriminala. Budući da je većina kriminala koncentrirana u određenim siromašnijim područjima, veći je dio grada potpuno siguran. Iako su gotovo sva turistička odredišta u Milwaukeeju i oko njega sigurna i pristupačna danju i noću, uvijek bi trebao vrijediti zdrav razum. Kao i bilo gdje drugdje, pomaže vam biti svjestan svoje okoline. Kao i u većini američkih gradova, opasne su četvrti obično vrlo razrušene.

Područja Milwaukeeja uz obalu jezera (također tamo gdje je većina atrakcija) obično su najsigurnija.

Zapadna i južna strana Milwaukeeja također nude zanimljive turističke mogućnosti koje uključuju poznatu baziliku u Milwaukeeju i grčku pravoslavnu crkvu Franka Lloyda Wrighta. Zločin se može dogoditi bilo gdje; ne dopustite da vam zemljopisni stereotipi diktiraju putovanja.

Područje omeđeno I-43 na istoku, Capitol Dr na sjeveru, North Ave na jugu i Sherman Blvd na zapadu sadrži neka od najsiromašnijih područja grada i posebno je opasno. Bliska južna strana također ima ozbiljnih kriminalnih problema povezanih s bandama, ali je tijekom dana u redu, posebno duž glavnih komercijalnih ulica.

Mnogi tjedni listovi orijentirani na zajednicu i kvart nude se besplatno u kafićima i kafićima.

Snaći se

Također, predgrađa okruga Ozaukee, Waukesha i Racine imaju reputaciju da su politički i socijalno konzervativni. Najbolje je da samo krenete ovdje. Ako ste LGBT posjetitelj, pokazivanje naklonosti okretat će se u tim područjima. Neka su predgrađa čak i konzervativnija od ruralnih dijelova države. Milwaukee nije toliko socijalno liberalan kao Madison, iako su ljudi u Milwaukeeu u cjelini tolerantni jedni prema drugima, čak i ako se mnoge miješane socijalne i etničke skupine obično izbjegavaju. Klika kulture je velika u regiji i mnogi su ljudi odrasli zajedno, stoga se nemojte iznenaditi kad od nekih ljudi koje sretnete kao autsajdere primite neprijateljski prijem. Odijevanje ovdje na nekonzervativan način (praćenje modnih trendova, v-izrez, visoka moda, itd.) Uglavnom se mrzi u jugoistočnom Wisconsinu i donijet će vam neke smiješne poglede mještana, pa ako vam takva pažnja zasmeta spakujte u skladu s tim. Grad postaje sve opušteniji.
