Should Milwaukee Be The Capital of Wisconsin?

I already stated that I thought you did. I don't have a dog in this fight about the ethnic population, immigrant thing...it just doesn't matter to me. Of course the TC aren't Paris

I wouldn't mind trying out Atlanta if given the chance, I think I could enjoy it, as it is much closer to other interesting states for traveling purposes. I have only passed through Dallas, Fortworth and found the hugest roaches in a fast food restaurant bathroom along with the looks of dust and rednecks and dry town crap, makes me think I couldn't handle the state, but could get a much cheaper house there and so who knows where we would pick if we decide to move for retirement.

I am bored with Madison but this is where our income base is, and with this economy just need to stay put.

Yeah, if I had to pick one of those three, it would be Atlanta..... But still, the sultry summers, the gimongous roaches.... yuck.

But I guess I'll stay put and keep working actively for Milwaukee's secession from Wisconsin!

^See I can't get caught up in that as I have absolutely no dog in that fight! I see you meant it sarcastically anyway. I personally don't think Milwaukee can ever rise above the reputation they currently have.

I actually came across a downtown MPLS apt complex infested with roaches and other insects during my young traveling days. It was disgusting!
