Dear Milwaukee...

You certainly aren't my favorite city in Wisconsin. Maybe it's because I've always been scared of you. Your towering buildings, endless web of highways and your sulfur smell never gave me that welcome vibe I get from your younger sister Madison. However, you are growing on me. Maybe it's your diversity or the fact that you've stood strong and kept your own identity even as Chicago creeps closer and closer. Just last weekend you and I shared a moment. It was near 7:30pm, we were hanging out at one of your many lakeside parks and you showed me a sky that stopped me in my tracks. I think it was an olive branch to let me know that although you aren't the Mad City, you still have a lot to offer. I see a future, you and me, Milwaukee, and it's a bright one.

Cheers,

Luke

I think you were delusional that night. MKE is no WAY near the caliber of Madison. Must have been mercury poisoning from the sushi. :)
