5 Things I Wish I Knew Before Moving to Green Bay Wisconsin

[@jillanthony5191]

It might be shocking for a lot of people to believe but there are still people who actually like living in a place with a small town feel😲.

[@coreylentsch9030]

Yes! Big cities have awful vibes!!! Terrible atmosphere

[@rickyjayster2586]

Green bays a shooting range now...

[@James-sp2dz]

​@@rickyjayster2586 Wow, things REALLY went UPHILL fast then! Cause I live in GB and it's a nice place to live now. I like my neighbors. Living here is not helping out my street cred whatsoever😂

[@chucksuxone]

One thing missed that most people don't know is the city is very family friendly. We have good schools, plenty of parks, so many family centered events. I live here and wish that we had some more variety of adult entertainment besides just football games and bars. Very little cultural events or even adult centered events.

[@brandonbrockman5962]

Things I wish I knew: How strict the parking rules are. Where to shop that supports the local economy. How round-a-bouts work.

[@MaggieClarkSLC]

@DriftProYTSF I watched a KZbin video on round-a-bouts and it saved me when I moved to Henderson, NV (suburb of Las Vegas).

[@kevinromberg1664]

Look to your left See a car? No? Floor it! Lol. Plenty of em round here to practice on

[@dianalynn8781]

My partner & I just moved to Green Bay, Wisconsin last July 2021. So far it's a nice city compared to Milwaukee, Wisconsin! I was born in Milwaukee, WI...❤❤❤ NEW sub as of today! I like it here!

May i know how many dollars will be spent monthly for a family with 1 kid

[@jarrettevanbrown]

It is difficult to make friends in Green Bay. I have been here for 4 years. I know tons of people, but I have very few friends. People who are from here are friends with their friends from middle school. I'm pretty sure I will always be seen as an outsider even if I live here for 40 years.

[@LivingInGreenBay]

That is definitely a struggle I hear from people at times. I know that no two stories are the same so it’s hard to pinpoint the exact reasons or cure. I do encourage people to turn up the intentionality as high as possible. Push to get connected. I would say a good 2-3yrs to settle in is common though. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@jackyfelder2563]

Oh my gosh. I worked in LA for awhile and had to take 2 trains and 1 bus just to get to work. It took 3 hours one way

[@ianroberts9889]

Love my city I literally can't imagine living somewhere bigger than say Appleton

[@jazzpup8288]

Love green bay. The weather keeps the californians out.

[@shelpippg2202]

I was born up that way, but these days, I live outside Dallas. I love Texas, I truly do. But GB is home. I’d move back to GB in a heartbeat if it wasn’t for the damn weather up there. I can’t deal with that cold and snow.

[@svang1991]

15 minutes to travel across town is nothing. Must have never lived in a big city before. GB is a small town.

[@LivingInGreenBay]

You got it! Coming from a smaller area, and not having a car initially, travel across town seemed daunting. Now many years later and having been in bigger cities I have a much better appreciation for it. It’s definitely not L.A. traffic lol.

[@johnrolfing5919]

You'll sit 15 minutes for a red light in Orlando..

[@1chighost82]

@@johnrolfing5919 Thats sometimes the same in Green Bay

[@shimek1920]

Intelligent commentary about Green Bay. Thank you.

[@andrewgeiwitz7232]

Thanks for the kind words. Glad it helps.

[@dhsswim11]

I lived in GB for 2 years for work. The wholesome of the town is really the main seller! It's a very big town with a lot of great people! Course, me being a Bears fan from Chicago, I got a lot of shit on gameday, but when the game was over, folks are very respectful and always there to help you even if they can't stand your jerseys ;) Also, there's quite a lot of stuff to do in GB even if you're not a big football person! Even though my team is Da Bears, my first love was always the Arts! GB has a lot of great music festivals and great halls for music performances and great museums! My favorite is the "National Railroad"

[@coreylentsch9030]

Good riddance to u! Ur a fib!!!!

[@dillonkazemi7795]

I wish I knew the city literally doubles in size on game day!

[@LivingInGreenBay]

That’s a big one Dillon. We will hit on that in some Packers related videos to come. Thanks for sharing here.

[@coreylentsch9030]

Heck yeah!!!

[@johnhettrich1802]

For night life we have a lot of bars to drink at!! Big and small

[@lukeganderson]

Parts of Allouez bus their kids to South West High School. The other part buses their kids to East High School. I lived in Allouez, a 4 minute drive to DePere HS but we were in the Southwest HS district, a 15-20 minute drive across town.

[@vidcas1711]

I grew up in Allouez but went to a private high school. I was actually surprised when I learned part of Allouez was part of the Southwest High School district.

[@SmokinTime420]

Lived here my entire life. Know every nook and cranny. Im not leaving, even if they try to make me. Home sweet home.

[@thomasbouchonville2877]

Winters are awesome here.

[@182zebraheads8]

I just moved from there to the south in May pretty interesting finding this video

[@andrewgeiwitz7232]

Thanks for sharing. What were some things that would have made your time in GB better had you known them?

[@rickyhall6687]

They're probably closed off because they are worried about becoming another California city.

[@tjsuemnicht1337]

coming from sheboygan, the only night life we have are the bars😂

[@viviannwosu7242]

Very informative..

[@LivingInGreenBay]

Thanks Vivian! I am glad it was helpful!

[@i23kaysam]

Could you do a video on living the Wisconsin not Justin Greenbay and also can you maybe do one moving from Illinois to Wisconsin.

[@LivingInGreenBay]

Thanks for asking Kayla. I can definitely make some content relating to the larger state as well. I have lived in NE, SE, NW, and SW Wisconsin so I have seen lots of the state. Great suggestion! I will have to talk to some people who have moved form Illinois to learn more about their experiences too. Love the ideas! 🥰🥳

[@rickyhall6687]

#6 You'll NEVER get a ticket to a Packers game.

[@AlexSmith-fs9rr]

You are kidding? No? Well, I got 3 different GB home games this season all off of stubhub. Little pricey, $200 each on average but well worth each trip to lambeau!

[@11riehldeal]

Do you have any videos covering some of the better private schools in GB?

[@johnhettrich1802]

How you feel about De Pere?

[@LivingInGreenBay]

That’s a great question. We will have to make another video talking about DePere. My quick opinion, I like it. Beautiful homes, quaint stores, good restaurants, nice views.

[@navynugget7]

Really....you're complaining because it took you 15 minutes to get to best buy and that UWGB is on the far northeast side? I really empathize with your first world problems Drew!

[@LivingInGreenBay]

Ha ha thanks for keeping it in perspective. 😆 I figured this would come up lol

[@PJWorthy]

This is a bit of an odd video. You don’t seem to like GB or know enough about it....and you’re Realtor in GB?

[@LivingInGreenBay]

Thanks for sharing what you thoughts. You’re right, when I first moved to GB I knew almost nothing about the city so there are so many things I wish I knew. It’s been so much fun to learn about the city more and more with each person I meet, video I make, and client I serve. You’re also right, I don’t like GB. I love it! So happy to live, work, and learn here.

[@gregorytipton6352]

Dude, you went to the wrong mall and you had much closer choices.

[@dpc727]

not exactly an ambassador of goodwill.

[@LivingInGreenBay]

Thanks for commenting, while I May come off critical at times I assure everyone I love ❤️ Green Bay and am fully invested in its positive growth into the future. Thanks for watching and considering how you can help improve Green Bay too! 😁👍
