Milwaukee, I love ya. And, for a number of number of reasons. You know them all.
And, a new poll confirms one reason why so many love Milwaukee -- we're not irritating. Atlanta, however, is. So are Houston, Washington, D.C., Baltimore and L.A.
The poll conducted by Sperling's BestPlaces and paid for by Edge Shave Zone was based on 11 "irritation factors," including pest control, traffic congestion, heat index and others.
It's no surprise Milwaukee finished 49th (only Rochester is less irritating). Milwaukee's easy. Little traffic, nice people, an amazing Lakefront and wonderful media like OnMilwaukee.com.
See the full list here. And, have a wonderful and non irritating day!
