@@Rockgod32 😂😂😂 hey all are welcome!

@@hodag great areas that I’ll sadly never be able to afford 😂

I lived in Sault St. Marie in the early 80s and it was the 2nd most depressing place I ever lived. Muscatine IA was the most depressing place. MI is beautiful, incredibly beautiful but the people just do not seem happy.

Fond du Lac is a terrible city. I worked there for awhile in the early 80s, I hated it. The people there are not friendly at all and the town is so rinky dink. it still looks about same now as it did then. They have that state patrol headquarters there, those guys are not the least bit nice. They got some kind of king of the hill attitude. It's too bad you had that experience many cities and towns are very welcoming.

@@KennKamp-sv2xh I touch on all of that in my “Reasons NOT to move to Madison” video

@@shawnshurtz9147 Fair

It has changed a lot. I'd say the bottom half of the state is very diverse. Up north it's mostly white people but there are African Americans and some Asians. I grew up 35 miles from Green Bay in a small town that was mostly white but did have a small Mexican population, 1 Korean woman and 1 Filipino woman both war brides. There were also a good amount of Jews in my town but I never met or talked to a black person until I was 18 and going to college in Milwaukee. A few years later a black man named Tony moved to our town and it was big news.

@@lennybuttz2162 I live in Ft Lauderdale which is as diverse as it comes. For 20 years I worked for a company where 2/3 of the employees were born in another country. I think it made us stronger as it forced everyone to deal with the other's "uniquenesses". I always say it is harder to hate a group of people when you know them personally! My parents are from southeastern Ohio (on the West Virginia border). Everyday I am grateful they moved us to Florida; I can't imagine what my life would be if I grew up there! I can't fathom how you deal with the winters! I cry when it gets below 70! GOD BLESS THE USA!!!!!

@@jamesquivey1538 I can see that being a positive experience. I grew up with people from many different countries also. I heard many different accents and listened to a lot of interesting stories. Most of them were from Northern Europe.

@@metalschrammer69 Love to hear! Gotta get you to Lambeau if you haven’t been already

@@joshbrosthomes that would be my first stop for sure

@ it’s magical especially in the winter

If you grew up in a big city I don't think you'll like it hear unless you move to Madison. Even Milwaukee as big as it is has a small town attitude. We have had a bad history with people from the east coast most people probably don't remember it but if you move to a smaller town it's going to take them a long time to warm up to you. If you have that snobby accent people will be polite but they're not going to like you. The winters are much more harsh than you're used to having.

@@lennybuttz2162 Madison has a WAY smaller town feeling that Milwaukee does. East coast gets some really rough winters too, and I think a lot of people here aren’t going to hate someone for where they came from or how they sound. Depends on the person I guess.

Also the politics.

@@mcwaker1 we do check the market daily but we aren’t necessarily looking deep into EVERY single property like this

Why, because you say so=get over yourself SFB

@@feija77 hey! Me personally, I notice allergies primarily during two seasons. Spring and fall. I think right now I’m actually experiencing a bit of allergies, but it’s definitely a thing here with the change of seasons

@@EJMMXII appreciate the input! I’d have to disagree with that. Madison consistently ranks as one of the safest cities in the U.S. Like any “big” city, it’ll have certain spots, but most areas of Madison are quite safe when comparing to other cities of similar sizes

@@joshbrosthomes the "safest" parts of the city are downtown and even time to time theres a shooting or another pretty bad crime in the area. and most of the time when they say Madison is safe they mean the Madison Metropolitan Area.

@@EJMMXII Everyone's idea of "safe" is different, but I think the stats and data back up the fact that Madison is overall a safe city when you look at other cities similar in size

I want to leave hot Texas an move to Madison or the state of Maryland. Soon as I hear how safe it is then you see all the comments of how it's not. Lawd I guess I have to come see for myself

@@chosengirl3101 that’s truly the only way!

Definitely need to go to the Nitty Gritty or Dotty’s Dumpling Dowry. Or State Street Brats. All three are exactly what you’re looking for!

Mickies dairy bar!

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

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

Going to try and post that episode next week. Stay tuned!!

The long awaited return

Almost every home in WI has a basement so I grew up thinking it was like that all over America. I was really shocked when I was talking to someone from out wets and mentioned their basement. They didn't even know what a basement was!

🤫

Thanks for the suggestion! Yes there are always some food trucks down on state street. I wish we had a designated area with 15-20 food trucks daily, but I don’t think we have that.

Come on over, many people still speak German

When I was a kid we lived in the upstairs of a house. It didn't have central heating, we had a heater in the dining room that was it. My room was a ways from the dining room. My windows always had thick layers of ice on them in the winter. The window would blow through and move the curtain over my closet doorway which always scared me. The air would be so cold in the morning when I woke up I could see my breath. We sure didn't have any carpeting either. I had to put my bare feet on that icy linoleum floor and run as fast as I could to bathroom then stand on tip toes until I finished my business. LOL Still today when I hear a cold whistling wind mixed with blowing snow it lulls me right to sleep.

It depends where your job opportunity is at. If it is in the Milwaukee, or even the Madison area, you might consider Walworth County where you can find Lakes Geneva, Delavan and Como, and whole bunch of smaller lakes, and the communities of Lake Geneva, Walworth, Fontana, Williams Bay, Whitewater, Elkhorn and Delavan. Whitewater is the largest with about 10,000 people and a university that's part of the Wisconsin system. The area is low crime and has outstanding schools. It is a little pricey, but if that job you're going to pays well, you might want to check out Walworth County.
