The driftless area comes to mind first....and all the little villages out there. I really like the landscapes in Wisconsin, a lot more to offer than people think...but chances are I'd move to a more scenic place, like Wyoming, or Utah...but I'd still miss this place.

I was going to say the same thing, the Driftless Area is beautiful. Living in Baraboo I don't realize how beautiful it is here sometimes. However I wouldn't move somewhere less attractive then Wisconsin. I've always loved Tennessee and it's Mountains, but I also think the Puget Sound would be beautiful.

I do love the accent here/upper midwest. Do you want to go to the movies, er no?

Did the Packers win last night? You betcha!

I did move away from Wisconsin, and I don't miss anything. Except maybe the brats from Hoff's Red Owl store in Brownsville. And Point Beer.

What do I miss? Lakes, trees, Green Bay Packer fans everywhere. But I also miss 6 months of winter, cloudy overcast weather weeks at a time, knocking slush and snow off my shoes constantly, shoveling snow every day for a week, high taxes, high natural gas bills. Would I move back?. NEVER.

We have community in Chicago, in the summers two of them! Northsiders - Cubs and Southsiders - Sox. Wintertime we have three...Bears, Bulls, or Hawks. Even the occasional Packer fan!

The more I go back to visit Ozaukee county the more I miss it because so much has been added since I left, however one thing that hasn't been is blue collar work at decent wages, so I can't go back.. it's a barrier to re-entry. I go to local restaurants and I hear stories about wages being cut in half on some blue collar work, other stuff shut down or outsourced. I won't take a pay cut, and at $19 plus per hour I doubt I'd match that starting over there.

It will be our undoing economically. Not everyone can take white collar work or start their own business. Of course it's a nationwide problem.

Also.. having $3500 property taxes on a house purchased for $120,000 that's almost criminal in my eyes.
