I had no idea it was that bad anywhere other than Milwaukee. I drove throught the central and eastern parts of the state with my family when I was younger, but I was only scared in Milwaukee.
I'm still scared in Milwaukee! Which is why I'm leaving! I know that there is no such place as a safe haven anywhere in the world, but Milwaukee, largely thanks to Scott Walker, is on the way to being the next Detroit; a burned out shell of a city.
