![Cons of Living in Madison WI [No Fluff]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/GYzY18A-0ok/mqdefault.jpg)
fun fact,wisconsin has more bars/taverns than grocery stores
Very true!
A proud Wisconsinite here! Love my state! Go pack go!
Enjoy kissing Evers butt.
I moved to Wisconsin when my father moved us from Chicagoland to Rhinelander and later Sugar Camp. Went to high school in Rhinelander "Go Hodags!" and the people are very nice. Oneida County has one of the most beautiful courthouses I've ever seen with it's Tiffany glass dome is beautiful at night. Left in the late 70's to go to college and didn't return, but I still have a soft spot for the beautiful state that is Wisconsin.
You prove just what I said. You're a FIB, so go back to Chicago where you belong!
Aye was raised in rhinelander too😅
Central and northern Wi tend to be higher elevation too. 400 to 700 feet with a couple degrees of latitude makes a difference for the earlier snow.
When I was growing up, Wisconsonites couldn't buy margarine in the state (Oleo as it was known back then), so we would always bring a case when we visited our relatives there. Of course, we would usually return home with plenty of dairy products.
Oleo used to be differently colored than real butter too.
My parents are both FIBS and grew up eating that nasty crap.
@@madtownangler It was before my time, but I understand margarine was initially pure white, so they included at small pkg of yellow food coloring you would mix with it to give it the color. By the time I was old enough to remember anything (early 50s), the margarine we bought at our local store was the same color as butter.
I lived in Door County Wisconsin for over 26 years so far. I was from Illinois. My parents had built a vacation home in Door County in the fall of 1979. With them that I spent a lot of my vacations with them and my sister. When my parents retired in 1993 from teaching and made their vacation home as their permanent home. I stayed with them from 1993-94. I was working in a grocery store near their home. 93-94 was a tough winter as I remembered. My sister was in Spain for a part of the year. She came back and stayed with us. My sister and I moved back in Illinois to lived in 3 different apartments for the 3 years. I moved back in mid May 1997. It was a beautiful Mother’s Day weekend. When I started to work at a different grocery store it got colder in the 30’s. I wasn’t expecting it to be that cold in mid May. It was cold for a week. It got to be back to normal temperatures. On December 1st that I moved in my apartment that same year. I did liked to lived with my parents during those months. They had 2 cats that I both liked. One cat was so old and frail that was an old buddy towards me. The other cat that I did played with. I don’t think that I have an accent nor people in Door County sounded the same as I do. Even my grandmother lived in the county,too. She was from central Illinois. She sounded liked she was from the south. Even my mother was from the same area and doesn’t have an accent liked my grandmother did. I do feel liked that I do belong in Door County because of being part Swedish and part Norwegian on my father’s side of the family. Even my last name is still Peterson.
Another FIB heard from. Go back and kiss Pritzker's butt.
Sorry to hear that you used to be a FIB LOL.
Once a fib always a fib. DC native we know.
Originally from Wisconsin! Miss it immensely, especially the season changes & having a basement!
I live in Green Bay, it's a pretty decent place to live.
I currently live in Eau Claire for the past 41 years. I have NEVER heard anything called a Bubbler. The only time I hear this slang in on videos like this. Also Snow can fall anytime in October. It my no stick around. However November to late April it’s pretty much a guarantee the snow will always be on the ground. Snowmobiling has really fallen off. It’s not even close to what it was just 20 years ago. ATV’s & UTV’s have exploded in popularity in Wisconsin. Drinking alcohol is not only a lifestyle it’s also a sport. The commonalities in Wisconsin are Taverns, Wineries, Restaurants, Churches, Banks, Music Festivals, Friday Fish Fries, Culvers, Kwik Trips, Green Bay Packer Conversations 24/7/365, Road Construction, and most of all Quality of Life.
Bubbler is huge in the southern part of the state much like “pop” for soda is more common up north
I live in Green Bay, Everybody says bubbler.
I live in Milwaukee and most say bubbler as well
I also live in Green Bay and every person says bubbler.
I lived in Colorado for a decade after high school and got screwed up with the bubbler/water fountain thing. I usually just say 'get some water" now.
I spent the first thirty years of my life in Wisconsin, but currently live abroad in the southern part of South Korea. I've seen people from other countries complain they've never experienced winters this cold before. To explain, the winters in my city usually average around the upper 30s/40F in the day and upper 20s/30F at night. An extremely cold night would be in teens fahrenheit. This is considered too cold for them.
What I'm getting at is states like Minnesota or the Dakotas might have worse winters. But if you tell someone that's used to warmer temperatures that winters in Wisconsin are "not that bad" you are setting them up for quite a shock.
Grew up in rhinelander wi for most of my life. My family moved alot but i have lived in The u.p, stevens point, Minocqua, st. Germain, and eagle river. I was born in walworth county wi. Everything you said in this video is very accurate!
Been a Wisconsinite for three years now, still a Bears fan!
Should be a great game today! #GOPACKGO
best state in the union, great video Josh !
Thank you so much for sharing..im planning to go there maybe next year i hope to see you there.
Awesome! Hope you have a great time!
Hello from Baraboo, Wisconsin
If you want to buy a snowmobile there is always one for sale out in the country here in southern Wisconsin because the winters down here don't really get very much snow anymore.
If you are over sixteen unless you are good at sports you pretty much don't exercise for the rest of your life LOL. I remember leaving the state for ten years after high school and seeing pictures of friends in the newspaper and seeing how fat they had gotten in just a few years...of course I have caught up.
very good, professional video!! I expected 300k sub's! Thanks for the upload, cheers from indiana
(p.s. indiana shares an equal hate for illinois dont worry)
@@Filywardo Haha Thanks for the compliments on the Vid! Glad to hear we share the same arch rival🤣
I have lived in Wisconsin since the beginning of High School. I find that I can actually afford to own a house here. Average house prices are pretty good. Food is fairly affordable because there is a fair amount of local produce available.
100%! Anywhere in the Midwest will be cheaper than the West or East Coast. I'd much rather live here and not deal with the traffic and insane cost of living
Unless you live in Madison.
I'm not even from the states and I got recommended this video?
I am a Bucks fan tho.
Good choice 🤝
I'm an international student going to UWGreen Bay. Could you suggest me a few things I should consider before reaching there. any transportation issues or any advice would be appreciated please. Thankyou
UW-GB is on the far east side of Green Bay but I’m sure there’s a bus system to and from campus. It may be something to look into though.
Get a nice winter coat! It gets cold especially up there!
I just love Wisconsin.
I would love to move there from germany right now.
May move there eventually. Best places neat Nehaah
Are you looking for “city” or more rural?
Neenah itself is great. Can feel a bit congested at times for how big the city is.
@@joshbrosthomes I am not sure. I’ve lived in very small cities for years. Then my husband bought a house very remote. He passed and I really need to be near stores, drs, stuff like that without a lot of traffic. My daughter is in Neenah. So other places close to that would be best
@@CherylJune I’d checkout these places:
Kaulauna, Kimberly, Harrison, Menasha, Appleton, Greenville
@@joshbrosthomesthank you
Food & drinks 🍺 💯
What is a good area in Wisconsin to live in? I have a job opportunity to move and want to know a safe neighborhood for raising a family
Don’t forget the Badgers.
I'm going from Texas to Madison, Wisconsin, for college.
Great school choice 🦡
Someday you will walk past where I live probably with some alcohol in you.
How is turtle Lake Wisconsin? I’ve gotten a job offer there.
Honestly I don’t know much about Turtle Lake or that part of the state, but looks like a great location. Close enough to Minneapolis but definitely will be a small town feel out that way
By the way im going to Madison...
Great spot! Let me know if you need any recommendations on anything!
@@joshbrosthomes sure i will let you know...thank you..your so kind.
I'm from Wisconsin originally but have lived in California for 10 years now. You forgot Friday Fish Fry's and Custard Stands for food. Also-- California is the largest dairy producer in the USA-- Wisconsin is #2.
Wisconsin still produces more cheese, we will always be a dairy powerhouse with our green fields you envy.
I remember filling up a small cooler full of cheese from Wisconsin when I visited just to bring back home for friends. Glad I moved back here twenty years ago.
• You've gotta love cold in the winter and hot and humid weather in the summer!
• Limited restaurant selections even in Madison - quality isn't that great compared to other parts of the country!
• If you own an exotic car, forget about it!
• Very high property taxes compared to other states nationally
Yup. Everyone should stay away
You forgot to mention the state bird... mosquitoes
You live in Madison and didn't mention Badger football when talking sports.
you convinced my good pal to move here
🤝🤝🤝
How's the humidity in the summer?
It's SO dry currently so not humid at all! Typically, it does get fairly humid, but nothing compared to the south
@@joshbrosthomes gotcha. I am from Arkansas and am trying to escape this insufferable humidity.
@@ts4426 I’ve been to Arkansas and I’m actually going again in 2 weeks. I’ve grown to love the 4 seasons because it’s such a nice change. The humidity here would feel like a joke compared to anywhere in the south. The bugs are also so much bigger in Arkansas and I can’t stand bugs 😂
@@joshbrosthomes I have lived here my entire life and STILL haven't acclimated to the humidity. I hope you have a great time here, weather notwithstanding!
@@ts4426 Thanks! I hope so too! If you have any other questions on WI or find yourself in WI, let me know! You can HMU on Instagram - @joshbrosthomes
Going to Milwaukee from the bay area California soon
Awesome! Let me know if you need any recommendations on things to do or see!
That sucks......Mil-Garbage......BLAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MUCH Other areas of Wisconsin to live in.....
In about 1 1/2 years from now We’re wanting to move from the Las Vegas NV (35 years here: I’m the wife and from CA…45
years here: my husband is from New Jersey) area to the Janesville area …. because family is there… both retired, how will it be?
That’s awesome! Janesville is a solid spot where you can get a good bang for your buck. It’s about 45 minutes south of Madison an hour maybe to the Illinois border. (I’m a big Panda Express guy so if I’m craving it, I’ll make the drive from Madison to Janesville for that 😂)
I’ve helped clients buy and sell many homes in Janesville!
I’d love to help you guys out and answer any further questions. Send me an email to joshbrost@kw.com
@@joshbrosthomes oh thank you! We’re currently looking and I’m educating myself on the weather temps and getting ready for how I would handle the winters…summer temps here are major triple digits so my husband is helping me to understand HOT vs SNOW. We know the zip code area we’d like.
How is the driving, snow depths, etc there in average winters? Thank you for your response.
@@I_Love_Furbabies triple digits?!? Me being from WI I’d take below freezing over that any day of the week 😂
The good news is is that Janesville is in the southern part of the state. The more north you go, typically the more snow you get and the longer it lasts.
Currently in Madison and it has been 40 degrees pretty much all December… definitely not a normal December as we have no snow currently, but I know the last few years have been a “brown” Christmas.
The driving in the winter takes some getting used to. The snow plows are generally pretty good in populated areas, but definitely take it slow and don’t worry about people passing you and you’ll be good! Make sure you car’s tires are in good shape
If you work nights like me.know that they don't plow the roads until 4 am a lot of times. It is fun riding my bike to work at night.
Road America
Moving to Franklin soon. Do you have some tips? : )
Franklin is a great spot! Explore the city, get a good winter coat, join some local meetup groups on Facebook!
@@joshbrosthomes wow there are groups on fb? Thanks so much!
@@erikamarieramos5580 more than likely yes!
Ice racing of cars
I grew up in ashland wi. 80s 90s miss living in south is ice racing and snowmobiling
WI is not for Jamaican immigrants like myself. 🥶😅
Never got a good spotted cow, I consider one of the worst craft beers
Even on tap?!?
@@joshbrosthomes Yes, and I lived in WI for 5 years
Buy a lake street brewing beer any kind
@@marklangren3142 I think it’s more of a classic and the exclusivity to WI makes it awesome and unique. I love the taste of it too but just like anything, not everyone will like it.
Hinterland up in Green Bay is probably my favorite brewery. I’ve never had a bad beer there
Nooooo stay away
You don't hunt and fish what the hell do you do here?
Golf, hike, bike, kayak… much more things to do than just hunting and fishing
Beautiful women!
The union really lol
Worst drivers in the US.
