Apart from its dramatic coastal setting that the others lack, I found it impressive that MKE really hasn't lost that much population since the post war rust belt boom days compared to the others.
I did a deep dive into Milwaukee's density numbers a while ago. While Milwaukee's offical density is 6,500 or so, it's actually quite high and has something like 12 or 15 neighborhoods with 12,000/sq/mi density. I have to find that post again. It all started when someone claimed Minneapolis is denser than Milwaukee but anyone who has drive through the two know Milwaukee is denser. Milwaukee feels denser than a larger area than Cincy but Cincy has a more urban feel close to downtown. To me when I was there in 2003 it felt like a east coast city. St. Louis feels more southern and more like Memphis to me.

This is exactly how I feel. St. Louis feels more open and has wider boulevards similar to some southern cities despite its midwestern culture. Cincy reminds a lot of some of the areas in Baltimore and Richmond. Milwaukee feels more cohesive than both. Cincy's urban character drops off significantly outside of its core.

Yeah the Cincy drop off, it goes from great urban core to leafy streets in no time and almost feels suburban at times.
This is pretty cool, look at Cincy, even back in 1790 it was a major area. One of the oldest cities in the US. Pretty cool history. Oldest baseball team as well.

I guess you haven’t actually been to St. Louis then?
