    Honestly, being from Memphis originally, Milwaukee's hoods look like some of the better kept neighborhoods in Memphis. It doesn't really look that bad there. Of course, once you've seen Detroit and Memphis, everything looks pristine.
    And Wisconsin looks pretty cool, regardless. Wisconsin is friendly and inviting. It's like Minnesota's drunk cousin. 😄

Craft breweries will usually even provide grains and yeast to help you start. Just not the formula for their beers. For that you experiment. Live yeast and whole hops are much better than dry yeast and processed hops.

The police officer told us he wasn't pulling us over for anything wrong but he told us he was going to escort us out of the neighborhood we were in and bring us to a better part of the city because there was a gang war going on. He told us to follow him. He said if we didn't we wouldn't get through the next two blocks without getting shot. He told us we were all white people driving a nice car so we better do what he said.

    I really enjoy your channel. With this video, you really came out of your shell. I live in a Boston suburb (an hour north) Newburyport, which is actually a city but acts like a town. Everyone knows each other. It is an old historic seaport town where ships were made and textiles sold. I wasn't born here but have seen pictures of the boarded up windows in our downtown in the 1970's. Nobody wanted to live here. Now the avg house is $1M.
    If you visit downtown Boston, it is really beautiful. However, there are parts of Boston that are not safe even during mid-day and they look like @12:33. I'm thinking areas like Dorchester and Mattapan. Both are considered "Boston." but you won't see any pictures of those areas on tourist flyers. (do they still make flyers?)
    I remember when Baltimore, MD tried to re-invent themselves. They created "Inner-Harbour" (I added the U to make it classier). It was initially a huge success with shops, restaurants, and condos right on the water, joined by an enormous curvy boardwalk. It was a huge push for MD. However, I believe today, it is no longer new nor quaint. It was beautifully reborn, yet had a painful death. I'm not sure why.

Had good memories visiting Summerfest and a lot of WI as a 80s kid. Visiting again, was like a 80s nostalgia remake/reboot - not as good as the original. In fact, Later had nightmares I was stuck there. Somehow dreams became a nightmare when Milwaukee was the setting. Trying to figure that out.
