| Profile: Described by newcomers and visitors as one of the friendliest of cities, Milwaukee is also the 17th largest city in the nation - on par with Boston and Washington, D.C., Milwaukee has an active downtown area bursting with business and cultural activities, shopping and more. Our symphony, ballet, opera, theaters, museums and excellent educational opportunities, including several nationally recognized universities, contribute to Milwaukee's reputation as a leading Midwestern metropolis. Milwaukee also has a quieter life-style -- a "turning back" to an era of small, closely-knit communities such as Sherman Park, Walker's Point, Bay View and River west; neighborhoods with charm and grace dating back to Milwaukee's original "Old World" settlers, who built this city on the traditions and values of their European heritage. Each year, residents celebrate the diversity and flavor of their heritage with fairs and fests along the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan, and in the many parks throughout the city. Activities abound year-round along waterways and recreational spots, bike and cross-country skiing trails and nature centers. The Milwaukee County Zoo, one of the finest in the country, is open all year. In addition, numerous major league teams provide a constant source of recreation and pride for city sports fans. Milwaukee is a city of growth -- cultural, educational and industrial. It is also a city of solid, established communities and government, and hard-working, friendly people. We have a lot to offer. |
