Where in WI are you? My alma mater is WI (go Badgers, Panthers, Phoenix and the 50 other UW campuses) so I spent some time in the southern half the state. We used to run down to Chicago on the commuter line and go drinking at Rush and Division on the weekends. Wonder if that's still a bar scene area?
I liked WI okay, but the food was a total culture shock for me- I grew up in SE VA where seafood is a way of life. Pretty much, I learned to embrace beef smothered in cheese and butter and other fried things. lol
