The latest bit of glowing, national attention for our city comes from the West Coast on the pages of StarkInsider.
Travel writer "extraordinaire," Janice Neider was here in October and wrote a wonderful piece called "Milwaukee – the City of Creativity." The folks at Visit Milwaukee helped coordinate her travel and stay.
As many are, Neider was surprised at all that Milwaukee offer. She writes, "I recently returned from a surprisingly fabulous girlfriend getaway trip there joined by my NYC big sis. When I invited her to join me she exclaimed, 'Why would I want to visit Milwaukee? Isn't that where Laverne & Shirley lived? Have you ever heard me say I'd really like more beer, brats and ballgames?' A couple of days later she sure was singing another tune about this all to often-overlooked city."
Yep, it's pretty great here, Janice. Thanks for the visit and kind words.
You can read the full story here. Neider also has a piece on this month's Kohler Food and Wine Experience.

He also thinks you should read OnMilwaukee each and every day.
