Great quick video of Milwaukee! Loved the tunes too.

Born and raised in Milwaukee. Its been about 10 years since I left and I am happy to say I will be returning in 3 days! Thanks for the video, even though its 6 years old its giving me something to look forward too.

There are some great nostalgia videos about life in Milwaukee in the 40'sa nd 50's.

Check out: Milwaukee Public Museum, East Side, Oriental Theater, Von Trier bar, Bayiew area (down Superior street, byt the lake), the Lake front. So many places to see, its amazing. Reminds me of Europe and makes me homesick!

Wow a lot has changed in 9 years. This summer I’ll make an updated version of this exact video

What an interesting city. I'm scheduling a trip there after seeing this quick ride. Didn't realize it is so full of activity.

Thanks so much for doing this! I am travelling to Milwaukee from the UK in a few weeks and I am dreading driving (on the wrong side of the road!) in a car I don't know (we have cars with manual gears here) on roads I've never seen before - this really helps.

Nice. You should do an updated one that also shows all of the recent development.

Is that why they called the show "Happy Days"? Because they moved from Milwaukee?

It's been over 10+ years, probably 15 years since I've traveled near this road. I was born in Cudahy, raised in Franklin, and spent my teenage years in Greenfield, and my Dad in Greendale. So many memories of this city. Bradford Beach, Grant Park, Sheridan Park, Jackson Park, Wilson Park Pool, Ice Skating and Hockey, and fishing in the "Lagoon". Parties Under the Hoan Bridge 🌉 sorry if I goofed the spelling. Cruising Hwy.100 & Root River Parkway/Whitnall. Southridge Mall. The 41-Twin Drive-In Theater in Franklin, or the 24-Outdoor in Hales Corners. Both were awesome places and BOTH were HUGE parts of my childhood. I can't thank you enough for these memory reminders. It's been a long time since I've sat and thought about cruising in my 72 Dodge Charger, my 69 Hurst Olds 442, or a beat up 72 Chevy Nova. LOL my first car was a 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger, again LOL! I also had 2 red beasts. A 1975 Olds Cutlass Supreme, and a 1973 Pontiac Firebird. Back then cars were MUCH cheaper and especially a old Nova, Cutlass, or a GM with a 350 4bbl was reasonably cheap and those engines were really long-term. My Dad was a car salesman, he sold new cars and used until the late 70's then used cars. Which was great because I started driving in 83-84. Cruising Hwy.100 on Friday & Saturday nights were always fun. Hot women, and back then CB radios were big? Why? Anyway all of us had em. My one buddy with a 1972 Buick Electra, it was a ocean liner with wheels.🚢🛥🚢🚢🛳 It was epic for sneaking people into the Drive-in inside the trunk...lol. 2 fit EASY. You could do three, but if they had B.O. OOOF! Sorry to ramble, but these videos have really been so incredibly wonderful. So many memories. So many things now gone, changed, closed, or just trashed. What was is gone. What has been with never ever be again, & sadly what is now can't compare to what was.

Wow, simply an amazing video! Milwaukee is looking awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Man, this is so kool. The drive, scenery, and the track. All of it. This is going in my faves! UB

Amazing video!!! I was up there last summer and went through many of the same neighborhoods you showed...was great to see that all again! The east side is beautiful and I love the Museum by Calatrava by the lake. Love the ending with the huge interchange and parking lot, and I see you even caught a train for about a second. Very nice. :)

Wow, how the hell did I miss this video. GREAT! One of the few remaining major cities I haven't been to. Believe it or not, but based on what I saw in this vid, Murray Hill and the Lower East Side districts remind me a lot of what you'd see in Oakland, CA (despite the media's never-ending insistence that the entire city is a crime-ridden wasteland). Loved the look and feel of the Thrid Ward district, too. Climatic ending under the Marquette. Another "favorited" video. Thanks 4 the tour!

Off the East!! Im from center street! Love this video. And this is how ppl drive in milwaukee!

i have lived there 1 year. very nice place,nice people, i just could not handle the snow time lol . thanks for the video.....bringing me back good memories and good time

Fantastic video!

I'm glad you liked Brady Street so much, I live 5 blocks from it and it's really amazing, I hope you took some time to check out the shops!

Lovely fantastic city.

Great video, perfect song. Milwaukee is a great city especially the East side. I hope you decide to post more videos in the future. My niece is on a television show called Suburbia and I told her to take a look at this video and she said you have a lot of talent. Keep up the good work. Thanks

That was fantastic loved that its in HD

I doubt law enforcement in the state even gave out DUI's before the year 2000. For majority of residents, beer drinking is a cultural thing. The state had the least punitive laws on DUI and the first 4 DUI's, used to be a ticket. Not clear on how insurance firms handled that.

When I was a kid I lived there drank in all the bars danced in all the clubs.fun times

I realize this is a old video but it nice to see Milwaukee again. I left Milwaukee in the 70's and said I'd never go back now I'm retired wouldn't mind going back but but with the tax structure it won't happen. Thank you for the video.

Did you check out the italian bakery on brady street? They have some really good bakery.Used to rent bicycles on the east side lake front, they had some 2 seaters. Always liked the east side. went to lincoln high school years back. the building is now an art center. You can see the downtown area from the school. If you take n35th street going toward the airport [not north 35th street] you'll go by the 3 domes, I suggest you visit them, and further down a couple b locks on the right Leon's Custer stand, it's the best!,just right, not too sweet! brings back memories! Had amotor cycle gang chase us one time in the downtown area,looked pretty rough too!

Plan time to take a drive to Cedarburg, ( 15 miles north ) and Holy Hill ( another 15 miles west ) and if you really want to be awed, a drive up I-43 to Manitowoc, then exit to highway 42 and drive north to Door County into a Sister Bay. It is a few hours of driving and very scenic.

Shorewood might be one of the best places to live. Just north of the city border, the suburb has its share of the wealthy, working class and middle class. It is a safe village and it is centrally located. The schools are excellent and there are bus lines along Oakland that take you to downtown if you prefer to not drive. WhiteFish Bay is also very nice, with several parks, great shopping and a desirable central shoreline location. The income level is likely higher in WFB and some might see it as a somewhat more desirable place to live. The schools are some of the best in the state. Fox Point - River Hills - Mequon are mostly professionals and a higher income area.

I was stationed here working for NW airlines in a downtown office back in 1967-68. I lived in the lower east side just off Ogden near the Layton School of Art. I understand they bulldozed a lot of that 'hood, which was a pity. I loved the old houses and historical feel. Hung out at O'Reilly's Bar, and it got bulldozed, too. I found the people were not friendly, though. Back then, if you didn't go to kindergarten through college together, they didn't trust outsiders. It was 6 months before anyone invited me to their house. Of course, back then, no one moved there from the West coast - it was just the reverse, so they thought I had to have been a narc. I didn't have a car or know my way around, so only knew my little neighborhood. I got a little car sick with the fast motion of this video, but enjoyed it anyway. Where is the third ward? I'd like to go back and get a tour and see what I missed.

Good restaurants, especially in the Milwaukee Market (check out the sea food restaurant at the east end of the building. They supply fish to many Milwaukee restaurants.)

I lived in downtown Milwaukee, Cass St. and Kilborne St. in the early 80's and I visited an Antique store in the Historic 3rd Ward when it was a deserted and depressed area. I actually thought it was an interesting area then and LOOK AT IT NOW! Who'd a thought. But glad I left WI.
