Milwaukee Backpackers Travel Wiki

They say that one must grab opportunity by the forelock because she is bald behind. Well Milwaukee took no chances and grabbed her instead by the short and curlies, happily snatching at the opportunity to become the beer capital of America when the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 wiped out the windy city’s brew-houses. For all that, though, there is more to Milwaukee than booze, and with its position in the basin of Lake Michigan has a great outdoor life, and this, coupled with its cultural scene and the friendliness of its people make the city a great tourist destination.
