I find Wisconsin to be a place full of polite, sometimes quirky, people who are a perfect blend of Midwest and Northern culture. Lots of fresh food, beautiful natural settings, and a decent economy. Cost of living has gone up in recent years, but its still not crazy high. There's lots of wide open spaces and not too many people. My major fear is that one day I will have to move back down South.

You didn't go to a supper club. You went to the Union Hotel, one of the best and probably most expensive restaurants in the area. Also, Lambeau field is NOT 100 years old. It opened in 1957.

Born and raised in DePere, WI (no, my family is not rich). My job transferred me to Minneapolis, MN and I was there for about 10 years. Plenty of gastro-pubs and nightlife, but it never really felt like home. Nobody talked to each other, parts of the city felt _really_ unsafe, and renting there was _expensive._ Glitz and glamour but superficial. Moved back to Green Bay to help out my aging parents a few years back. Man, I missed this place! Affordable, safe, and friendly. It felt like _home_ again. Not as exciting as the big city, but it just feels right. Like, I can relax and live in peace.

Come back to Green Bay during the summer and definitely comeback and go to a Packer game. I promise you won’t be disappointed! I live 30 minutes south of GB my husband works in GB.

The people are warm and welcoming and the homes affordable. The churches and community take care of the homeless.

I'm friends with all my surrounding neighbors (some more than others). You gotta know where to go on any given night out... Years ago, Broadway (on the west side) was the biggest bar/nightlife scene... but it was gentrified starting in the late 90s, and is now mostly shops and restaurants. On weekend nights, go to Washington St and parts of Main St, and parts of Ashwaubenon and Main St in DePere.

We used to call them death marches. Also Main St was a great place to try your luck.

[@dakistle]

This winter was way too warm. I was barely able to ice fish down here in southern WI. Anyways, we moved here about a decade ago. It was the best place for us to earn well and the cost of living is low.

[@larryparson9609]

Thanks 🙏🏼 nice never would have ever considers Wisconsin now?

[@RandyMKE]

Welcome to Wisconsin!

[@Rubydafox]

I live very close to Green Bay, I love that town and have had many important life events there.

[@davidwicklin9943]

Nick! Glad you could finally tour & review my adopted moved to state for the past 10 years as a transplanted Chicago, Illinoisian Bears fan! You’d be surprised how many of us have moved here. Too bad you didn’t come here for the April Spring Snowstorms!😜🤣

[@123dakilla]

im just saying come back in July when downtown is popping with farmers markets and live music!

[@TheLocdizzle]

Summer in Wisco is completely different from Winter. Highly recommend June-August.

[@ScorpioBornIn69]

Been there in the Dells, Door County, Milwaukee and other places most of the time during that three month period.

Theirs no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing choices

[@CrazyGuy9990]

Correction - Packers have most NFL Titles, not Super Bowls

[@NewHaven203]

The Steelers and Patriots have the most Super Bowls but the Steelers got to 6 Super Bowls first

[@Decepticon123]

That would be the New England Patriots my friend. 🏈

[@KTJohnsonkidThunder]

At least we got more Super Bowl titles than Da Bears.

Nick- Absolutely love your channel, you are very talented and so easy to listen to in most scenarios you cover. I have lived in Wisconsin my entire life with the exception of one stint on the East Coast for two months, but other than that, this is where I called Home born and raised in Rhinelander, Wisconsin and now I have spent the last 25 years in Madison I can say that you would fit in anywhere in Wisconsin because you seem to be an all-around nice guy who is just passionate about people and that’s an admirable quality If you ever make it back to Wisconsin, let Mel or I would like to meet and have a couple beers, watch some Wisconsin sports and just kick back. Looking to do any fishing, camping hulking water skiiing snow skiing you name I can get make it happen. Thanks for doing what you do and knowing the difference between just running your mouth so to speak verse providing us with great entertaining content Charles

[@joannunemaker6332]

What a wonderful town. I love this video!😊❤

[@charlescrossman2225]

we love you nick!!!

[@DJ-sd6jd]

It has been the warmest winter in Wisconsin I've ever seen. Not a good year to base weather on for us.

[@kevinbautsch]

Yr right! Usually winter means cheek clamping cold!!!!! Haha!!!

[@robnalu6436]

Another banger!! of an upload w/AWEsome content. Yeah....livin' in paradise(for me), sometimes I wanna take a trip an see how the rest of the folks live. Aloha~~ from Hawaii~~ 🍍🤙🤙

[@NoFeeArea]

Welcome to the good old Midwest Nick! Plain and boring. No Hurricanes, earthquakes, homeless hoardes, volcanoes or climate change issues (the Lake freezes over some years and others not, the levels always fluctuate up and down 10 ft., climate change hype). Best fishing in the world. More beer than you can drink and enough cheese to lock you up for a lifetime. We love it here FIB and cheesedick alike. Stable healthy lifestyle. You can keep Florida, California and New Yawk. We're it and we know it! Thank you.

[@NoFeeArea]

@@NickJohnson Cripes! Eh?

[@NoFeeArea]

@@NickJohnson Get to Monroe, WI. Go to Baumgartner's and get yourself some Limburger. And a Cow to drink.

[@jeffyboi6969]

Idk man, I lived in madison for 32 years, just moved to orlando for a job opportunity i couldn't get in wisconsin. The weather here through the winter was insane, drinking outside year round, golfing year round, not having to freeze in my car in the morning on the way to work, not having to look at disgusting brown melting snow piles right now, etc. Yeah I miss my home but its pretty awesome other places!

[@NoFeeArea]

@@NickJohnson Only the hardy could enjoy all the drinking and the four distinct seasons! And like it!Tough breed fer sure. 🧀 Louise! 😂

[@shubashima]

You seem to enjoy Wisconsins vibe and I know you also like cities that are rough around the edges. Superior and LaCrosse are good "rough around the edges visits" and Wausau and Eau Claire are great WI vibe towns

[@sweetcakes77_7]

Beautiful State ,💯 Upper Midwest gotta love it baby!💚💚

[@NickJohnson]

You got that right!

[@AMCguy]

Also, if youre downtown on a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. Downtown is a popping place. Otherwise 9am on a weekday abd everyone is at work or inside

[@DavidFortman-et2jj]

Green Bay, what a nice place. You commented on how dead downtown was. Probably everyone was at home with their families. Just like it should be.

[@NickJohnson]

It's Wednesday?

[@travisjanz4738]

I was born 1990 in Nekoosa,WI. The bar culture is still there but ppl drink less cause we all got dui’s and kids. Lacrosse is the best area to live.

[@ted356]

I’m from Illinois, and it’s amazing how much nicer Wisconsin is. We went up there one summer on vacation when I was a kid. My grandparents used to go fishing in a small WI town nearly every year. Whole different world from the “rust belt” where I grew up.

[@gtboard]

So Wisconsin is the state for Norweigans and Minnesota for the Swedes?

[@georgefox6271]

🤔 we're mostly German here.

[@hotboiorlando]

That fancy supper club looked like the one in the blues brothers movie lol
