and again, I have never edited, any of my pictures…..ever - what you see is what I saw ….. so get your purple on

I am a born-and-raised Nebraskan who recently visited your fine city for four days with my fiancé, who lived there for 30 years.

I. Am. In. Love.

From the way your buses operate, to that absolutely funky Brady Street intersection on the East Side (which my fiancé quizzed me on, and which I think I kinda understand now 😂), to the beautiful Milwaukee River, the stunning views, and the proximity to Lake Michigan, I am in love with all of it.

This trip was a trial run. I wanted to see whether I could picture myself living there with my fiancé.

And yeah. I can. ❤️

There’s something about your city that just clicked for me. I came to visit, but I’m going home already thinking about the next chapter. I think it’s time to start getting the ball rolling on bringing ourselves and our three cats up there and making Milwaukee our home.

I don’t know exactly when it’ll happen, or how long it’ll take to get everything in place. But I know one thing for certain:

I can’t wait to come back.

Whether it’s for another visit or because we’re finally home for good, I’ll be counting down the days until we meet again.

Until then, Milwaukee, take care of yourself.

And, of course…

GO BREWERS! ⚾💙💛

Wisconsin beer 🍺

It's been a joy to be around town as the MKE Brewers compete in the World Series. People are collectively excited and it shows in how we are interacting: kindness, smiles. I was very moved last night when the TV coverage would cut to Am Fam Field -- sold out and joyous, all watching a singular event together. Here's to Milwaukee, and to humanity. Let's choose to be happy more often. It's a better way to live.

We captured a time-lapse of the iconic Schlitz Park mural in 2021 and thought it would be a great time to share it now that the Brewers are in the World Series.

IT’S MILLER TIME (almost)! 💙💛 Neighbors near the ballpark. Partners since 1970. Miller is glowing with Brewers pride after last night’s Game 3 domination! From Miller Park memories to World Series dreams. THREE DOWN. ONE TO GO! ⚾ 📷: Aaron Johnson

Been hearing a lot about how the influencer “Lillwaukee” doesn’t tip her waitstaff, is arrogant about deserving free stuff, offers a guaranteed good review to restaurants for a large sum of money, ect. The list seems to go on, overall just not seeming like a good person.

Anybody else out there having similar experiences?

May your day be a good one

Even the water tower is wearing its Brewers colors! 💙💛 Coakley’s Water Tower glows with Crew pride as the Game 3 watch party fills the stadium behind it. Tonight: Game 4. Milwaukee, let’s finish this! ⚾ 📷: Aaron Johnson

Very Wisconsin question - where in Milwaukee can I buy the best beefsticks/jerky? Would like local made.

Any good local shops? Bit random but I appreciate the help.

I was driving through a neighborhood today, and there was a car parked right behind the stop sign, and I waited for what felt like 10 minutes before realizing it was parked. Like there was literally the entire street to park at, but no, they just had to park right behind the stop sign.

have a wonderful day

THREE DOWN. ONE TO GO. 💙💛 Looking over Potawatomi Hotel toward 31,000+ fans cheering on the Crew at American Family Field’s Game 3 watch party. The Brewers brought the bats. Milwaukee brought the noise. ONE MORE WIN! ⚾ 📷: Aaron Johnson

Give me your best pho spots!!! I am craving something yummy and the spot I always get it delivered from (pho ever - my love!!) is just too damn far from here. The closer to UWM the better but honestly just in Milwaukee would be great lol

Edit: thank you friends I have snarfed down my pho and am in a bliss state

Might be a long shot, but does anyone know if any bars in the city will let you rent it out for the evening for a birthday party? I’ll also take any recommendations for smaller event spaces in the city, thinking like 30 people at most.
