@PeterSantenello really hope you come up to Ashland wi. And do a vlog here lots of history behind it rumors have it as some stores on Main Street are actually built on top of a pre existing city , northland college is haunted , a motel across from Walgreens also haunted 3rd floor and at bar area people have seen and reported talking to a figure one minute then next gone . 3 rd floor room can’t remember room number quest report someone shaking door knob and pulling blankets off them as they sleep , lots of memorial artwork on buildings of real people who actually worked here and passed . It’s all on internet look up Ashland wi. Ghost stories and reports , I really think since you’re only about 5 hrs from here from Milwaukee you’d have a lot of great vlogs here in this town . Who knows maybe I’ll even see you and be able to walk up and thank you for all the dedication you do with where you go. Hope to get a reply . Also lots of small towns around within 20 mins drive with history and stories to .

He has a way of making connections and getting the raw, emotional truth out of people that is hardly found anywhere else. As someone who grew up in south Texas I know a lot about the immigration situation and I know a lot of the people directly impacted by it. Peter was able to portray the situation not only far more accurately than mainstream media, but on a much more personal level at that. The world need more folks like him.

My grandparents came to Milwaukee from Germany in 1924. My dad was born in Milwaukee in 1928. They lived on the northside, and grandpa was a baker in a northside German bakery. Although they left the city and settled in northern WI in the 1930's, dad ended up moving back and graduating from Marquette in the 1950s. You can take the boy out of Milwaukee, but you can't take Milwaukee out of the boy. Last year, at the age of 93, my father gave me a Milwaukee tour of everywhere he lived, worked and studied. I saw the first apt. my parents rented on Wisconsin Avenue near Marquette (across the street from an old Turner Hall which is now a concert venue). Dad passed away this summer at age 94. He always spoke so lovingly about Milwaukee. Thanks for taking me back to Milwaukee, Peter.

I lived in Milwaukee for three years, and its an underrated city for sure. The downtown area is pretty nice, and aside from pockets of bad neighborhoods, the surrounding areas are nice too. It is basically a very small Chicago, complete with a lakefront.

[@Mytoekhandria]

For someone looking to move to Milwaukee, which areas would you recommend to move to/recommend to avoid?

[@kellrockets101]

@@Mytoekhandria steer clear of the northside inner city of Milwaukee for living purposes. But the suburbs in the northside are really nice. I would recommend trying to find a place in the suburbs for living. Look into Wauwatosa, Whitefish Bay, Bayside, Shorewood, Hales Corners if you want really nice, very suburban areas. Look into Bayview if you like the hipster trendy scene, but also a nice area with good restaurants and activities. And look into Greenfield, Cudahy, South Milwaukee if you want that southside middle class area. I guess it would depend on your income and what you're willing to pay fore rent/mortgage. he mentioned something about those apartments in the video being like 950-1500 a month. That's grossly underestimating the cost of those a month. rent for those downtown apts close to the lakefront and downtown scene would be well over $2500-3000 a month probably. The suburbs if buying a house can be unreal for prices and property taxes for even buying a ranch or cape cod type house. All of the suburbs I mentioned are all part of the county of Milwaukee, and what make up Milwaukee...everything is accessible in Milwaukee within 5-15 mins from the suburbs.

[@shannonrickard8605]

​@@MytoekhandriaThe north side is the main area to avoid, but housing is also cheap there. The east side and downtown are the best areas (in my opinion). They are the safest and have the most "stuff" going on. The crime has certainly spread in recent years and it's not as safe as it used to be but I think that can be said for anywhere these days.

"Kia boys" are STILL a problem in Milwaukee. Two summers ago I literally watched a group of teen boys crash a kia soul into a student housing building right across the street from my building. About 12 teenage boys all scrambled out of the vehicle and took off running in all directions. And I live close to downtown in the Avenues West neighborhood. It's also known as the "University District" or the "Marquette District" because it's where most of the student housing for Marquette University students is located. I'm still in this neighborhood simply because it's centrally located and pretty easy to get to where I need to go. I'm a Chicago native but moved away about a decade ago for work. When a change happened in my life, I wanted to go back to Illinois but just couldn't afford to live there anymore. A friend offered me a place to stay until I "got back on my feet" here in Milwaukee and I've been here ever since. Granted, it's not Chicago by any stretch but it has enough city conveniences that it's habitable and the cost of living couldn't be beat at the time I moved here. Lately, rents have been skyrocketing. The building I'm currently in was sold about a year ago to an investment firm in Chicago. They've been "renovating" empty units and are now charging 110% more than my current rent. Eventually, they will force residents to have to choose to either move into one of the renovated units and pay the exorbitant increase in rent or move out. At that point, I've already decided, I'm going to buy an RV and become a digital nomad. I already work remotely, so taking my work on the road won't be all that difficult. I just hate the work/rent cycle and have nothing to show for it. Milwaukee saved my life, but like every place the cost of living is out of control. What I have found that I really do like about Milwaukee is its art scene. It's had a really thriving art community for a good 30 years now and it's very art friendly. Visual art, theatre, music, you name it. I have a friend who has a puppet troupe, I have other friends who run a theatre company, and others still who are local musicians. I think that's Milwaukee's saving grace. The vibe is pretty funky and I do enjoy discovering new areas of this city. Milwaukee isn't an instant "WOW" factor, its just there, but when you get into the city, get to know the people, it really is kinda cool.

I moved from Chicago suburbs to Milwaukee in 2015. As a new college grad, I was extremely impressed with the affordability in comparison to what my friends in Chicago were paying. My first apartment was $730 a month including heat and water on the east side. On street parking was about $50 a year, no tolls to pay driving around, sales tax 5% vs 10% in Chicago. However, I now live in the burbs raising small children because the petty crime in Milwaukee as noted in this video is unbearable. I was side swiped by a reckless driver once and that was enough for me with kids. Milwaukee, you have a special place in my heart and I will always drive downtown for festivals and the unique arts scene, but safety is paramount. No city can survive with the likes of kia boys blowing through red lights causing mayhem. Please focus on reckless driving and underserved youth. It's perhaps a nationwide problem, but especially bad in Milwaukee. People deserve to feel safe as a basic human right of passage living in any city. It may start in the home, but raising quality citizens sometimes means actually holding firm on laws and punishing those who violate others to the fullest extent.

But yes we have some of (in my opinion) the best architecture in the midwest, a lot of it is very old and untouched. Idk if you know who Frank Lloyd Wright is but he's a famous architect and there's a whole block of houses designed by him somewhere in the city, I have yet to go find them. He's also got a couple mansions elsewhere in Wisconsin but they're a little far from Milwaukee. Overall it's a great city if you love Italian food, Mexican food and beer.

I worked in the service industry at places ranging from massive sports bars to a 100 year old family-owned German restaurant to bowling alleys before returning to school to finish a graduate degree, and I've gotten to experience so much this city has to offer (good and bad). It gets a really bad rap in the media, not for no reason sometimes, but there's so much more to this place than the crime. I'm job hunting now to start a career and I am desperately hoping I can find something in the area. I moved here originally without any ties so if I didn't like it I could just move on to the next adventure, but here I am over 9 years later and there's nowhere else I'd rather be. One added note, I'm not a soccer fan but there is a semi-pro NPSL soccer team in town. They play in Wauwatosa a couple miles west of downtown (just a few blocks west of where this video was shot), but there isn't a huge following unfortunately. Shoutout FC Milwaukee Torrent!

as a German who has family near Milwaukee I have been there multiple times and each time my family has told me how dangerous it has gotten. It definitely has its beautiful parts but there are many places I would avoid. Much love for Wisconsin in general though
