MKE (Milwaukee) great beer town great food town.

[Balt Ohio]

Came here 3 days ago from Kenosha METRA on CNW to CP main and got off by Amtrak Station. 2.00 Micro Beers at Sabbatic Bar on 2nd Street all night..MKE Beer is the best and is made right on second. Milwaukee Public Market has great food and one of the venders gave me some work setting up a catering job for the weekend. As of now I am chilling to Jazz at the Hilton after grabbing free coffee at the Hampton. So refreshing to be in a real downtown that has not been over Disneyfied. Great down to earth folks in the midwest and I am sure I could find a nice woman to bed down or spend my life with here (Or both). Heading to the casino after doing some railroad reserch at the Library. BTW the Library is cracking down on the homebums so be carefull and watch your stuff. Evening planning on sipping 9.00 wine from Theif Wine and casting my lines to see what I can catch in the riverwalk. As far as food I recomend the 15.00 Lobster Dinner at the Public Market. The Lobster is fresh off the plane from Boston and I know because saw the boxes out back while looking for bait tonite

Hi there - sounds like you'll be having some fun. I'm going to move the thread though - not quite yet trainhopping so I'm moving you to regional. Have fun on your research - there's a lot of info here.

I went to UWM and agree- Milwaukee is some shit (well east-side/dt) Everyone is very welcoming. If you have time check out Brady Street. Lots of good folks around there. Always seen people buskin' and making a killing. Rochambo fuckin' great coffee. Watch the water. MKE Lake Michigan is foul, not safe and seldom did I see people fishing. Around UWM its crackin' thur-sun. I mean house parties that look like a motherfuckin' movie and you can just walk the fuck in. Free booze and hot drunk college chicks. Lake Front is as hot as a motherfuckin' camels pussy, but still sick to chill and hang. Passed out drunk as a bitch down there a few time on the rocks just to be woken from my slumber by the boys askin' me to gtfo. Lake effect(affect?) is some real shit, it'll fuck yea up and its getting cold here in WI. Stay warm & safe

yea also the metro is a saint dressed as a bus system. She's reliable and will see you anywhere.

Can you fly signs on freeway ramps there?

Hit or miss. There is no pedestrians on highways/interstates. Smaller towns can be real red in the neck area and them cops don't fuck around. They like their perfect little communities and will shun obvious outsiders. People in the Wisconsin are very welcoming and open but easily taken for (some still haven't realized the world isn't flat). Making po-lice a hassle. but shitt they let homeless do whatever the fuck they want here in Madison. No fuckin' jokin' I seen a crazy women shitting in a paper bag on the mother fuckin' bench in front of the capitol. If one thing we pride here is our mother fuckin' capitol. Crown' n jewel she is. Cops prowl state street and do nothin'. she's been here 2yrs. poor thin'

yea I like Wisconsin. All around friendly state and with the Good ol' state of illinois next door pushing their undesirables out we are slowing becoming more diverse. Now most school have at least a few black, mexican and asians attending (us jews don't seem to be increasing?). There is the "chiraq" (pronounced Chi-Rack) phenomenon happening here is Madison. We have had a massive up-rise in gang related shootings here (or so the media claims) but I live on raymound rd which is considered our "ghetto" or bad neighbor hood. lol them crazy motherfucker don't know shitt. Don't leave yer fuckin' cars unlocked and close the damn windows when you leave. this aint no fuckin' 1976, when ma'm left a motherfuckin' home baked pies in the fuckin' windo'. Never heard a shot fired. do get offers for weed all the time at the pdq when I pick up my rillo's. like ima buy their booty ass weed.

Like ive said tho' - Wisconsin has a lot of small town that don't play well. But if yer lookin' like a traveler they prolly wont know the difference between you 'n lil billy from down the road helpin' out at the millers farm. Based on appearance and or smell anyway. dirty white kids is what we are, rollin' 'round in our '97 turbo diesel cummin' rollin' coal & smashin' a thirties.

not shit for freight in Madison. Milwaukee, Janesville, Portage and another shit town I can't remember are about the only active lines WSOR shares with class 1s like BNSF & CN.
