Milwaukee County, Wisconsin
Milwaukee County is where Wisconsin gets urban. It’s the most populous county in the state, packed into the smallest land area. Go figure. The city of Milwaukee dominates, sprawling along Lake Michigan’s western shore.
It’s a blue-collar town with a taste for the finer things. Beer put this place on the map. They still brew plenty of it. But these days, Milwaukee is just as likely to offer you a craft cocktail. The lakefront is gorgeous.
Bradford Beach gets packed in summer because there’s always something going on. Summerfest. The State Fair. Ethnic festivals galore. The suburbs stretch west, each with its own vibe. You’ve got your Wauwatosas and your Cudahys. It’s diverse. It’s dynamic.
