Reason: to be more concise
Can I play even though we don't live there anymore?? Please.. We lived there are whole lives up till 4 years ago till we moved for a job promotion. We are trying very hard to get back, the sooner the better!

5) Whats your favorite city/town in the state? Appleton/Oshkosh areas
6) Whats your favorite region of the state? Definetly the Northern Wisconsin. It's so beautiful.
7) What do you like least about the state? Housing costs and taxes. It's what is hampering our move back. We don't want to rent, but housing is so much. It's so cheap where we are now and the taxes are too. My brother's house in Milwaukee is about the same size as ours. Our taxes here are $1500, his are almost $4,000 for the same size house/land. Comparing our house with homes there that are similar is crazy. We paid $106,000 for ours and similar homes there are $170,000 and some don't have the finished basement we do or a 2 1/2 car garage like ours. That's a huge difference. Sorry to go a little OT..
8) What do you like most about the state? The landscape for sure. Here it's just boring. Driving down the interstate here(comparing it to 41/45 there)there's nothing. Flatland.
9) Whats your favorite state park/recreation area in the state? The Zoo! I miss it. There is no zoo here and I think that's sad.
10) If you could move somewhere else, where would you like to go? Nowhere. It's Wisconsin all the way. If we one the lottery, maybe we'd get a home somewhere warm for the winter..maybe
