what's going on island hoppers today we are coming to you from milwaukee wisconsin let's do it milwaukee is located along lake michigan just south of green bay and just north of chicago known for its many breweries and cheese curds yes i said it right cheese curds you know dairy country up here in wisconsin as well as the harley-davidson museum in this milwaukee travel guide we're going to show you guys around the lakefront downtown milwaukee we're going to go to a brewers game all right let's begin walking around the downtown area here as we just got off of the amtrak from chicago and we are now going to head into the downtown area where the river is all right so the population in milwaukee is 580 000 people making it the 31st largest city in the united states it's the fifth largest in the midwest great lakes region now if you include all of the suburbs of milwaukee you're talking 2.3 million still outside of the top 30 in terms of metropolitan areas so milwaukee it's a fairly large city but it's not one of the biggest in the united states here we are on the milwaukee river walk we're going to show you guys around this riverwalk right here in the heart of downtown the name of this river right here is actually called milwaukee river it's one of three rivers in the region along with the menimani menomonie river actually translates to english from chippewa language to mean rice eaters or rice because there is wild rice that actually grew right here now milwaukee is a cold city so this area in the winter time is very brisk cold now this here river system has come under scrutiny recently because of the industrialized areas inland that actually pour in pollution into these river systems which ultimately leads into lake michigan so this is something that they've had to undertake to clean up the river system but it's not uncommon to see people on boats paddling canoes in the milwaukee river here [Music] we're uh at the rock bottom right here on the milwaukee river we were referred to this place we got a good beer good place to get a couple beers and then head out onto the town [Music] this rock bottom here is a really relaxing environment especially in the middle of the afternoon on a work day you just come on down here grab a couple beers and really relax you get some good food fish and chips i got some chicken wings you can see right here we got some good eats right here on the milwaukee river with these views and we could say hi to all the people who are floating by [Music] from here what we're going to do is head over towards brady street and check out some of the more entertainment areas of milwaukee then like i said at the end of the video i'm going to show you guys the milwaukee brewers game which you guys are going to want to watch that but yeah we're going to go across the bridge check out some of the more historic old milwaukee show you guys around some of these residential neighborhoods [Music] as you can see up and down the milwaukee river here they do have these drawbridges that open up and allow the larger ships and boats to go underneath those bridges there just some interesting facts about milwaukee real quick the summers are really nice out here but the winters are brutal cold like i said earlier now people out here they do love their fish and they also love their beer and coffee too believe it or not milwaukee is actually a diverse city with multiple different cultures coming together here in this city also something to say about the cost of living or visiting it's a very affordable place to visit you're not going to find too many expensive hotels over here that'll break your bank so you get more bang for your buck out here in milwaukee the food is fairly priced so i would say if you guys are looking for a nice relaxing affordable city in the midwest then milwaukee might just be what you're looking for [Music] [Music] so here we are walking along broadway we're going to head down towards brady street now as we walk over towards the lower east side where brady street is that's actually where the nightlife entertainment happens the most in milwaukee if you were to ask me based on what i found out from the locals lower east side brady street that whole area saturday sunday even friday nights that's where you want to be now we are walking by the milwaukee bucks arena they are in this area here just across the milwaukee river actually i just wanted to say some things about the sports teams up here in wisconsin obviously the green bay packers also known as the cheeseheads they come from greenway which is about two hours north of here i will say that the reason they call them the green bay packers is because they pack cheese that's why they're called the packers now the milwaukee brewers are called the milwaukee brewers because of all the breweries and the bucks because of the big deers with the buckhorns right so i just wanted to put that out there because i felt like i always wondered that stuff growing up so now i'm just putting it out there in this here dialogue another thing that is interesting about milwaukee that's worth pointing out they love their bratwurst so when you come out here do try a brat maybe a beer and a brat with sauerkraut yes they love sauerkraut hey and then you could do some cheese curds because that's something to consider also about milwaukee [Music] and if you guys are new to island hopper tv and you enjoy travel guys just like this you can consider subscribing turning on the bell to get notified every time we come out with a

this is in between the high-rise apartments and high-rise buildings of milwaukee over here and then on this side you have the lincoln memorial highway followed by lake michigan [Music] [Music] do [Music] notice miller brewing company building because the miller beer actually comes from here here we are at the park just outside of northwestern mutual's corporate headquarters but it's a really nice park right here in the east end of milwaukee [Music] here we are in old historic milwaukee along east wisconsin avenue if you look behind me here you can see the old federal building right here this was actually known as the city's post office milwaukee actually developed from an agricultural hub to a heavy industrial town in the mid 1900s so it started out as an agricultural uh mega center really because of the cattle and the uh farming that was coming out of wisconsin but it eventually evolved into a heavy industrial city [Music] as you can see in 1882 the leather tanning magnet guido fister created this building which eventually became one of milwaukee's finest hotels you can see the history right here and here's the building [Music] so [Music] [Applause] [Music] here we are at the brew crew the baseball game watching the brewers american family stadium used to be called miller field look at this thing i'm gonna go outside here and watch a good old ball game milwaukee [Music] hey [Music] all right today's a new day we're out here in milwaukee again but the weather is much cooler it went from 75 80 degrees all the way down into the 50s just like that even here in late spring almost june it gets that cold as you can see right now so we're just going to show you guys around here a little bit more around the downtown area but do keep in mind the place you're going to want to go party is going to be water street or brady street if you're coming here for nightlife on the weekends [Music] and what would a trip to milwaukee be without paying a visit to the bronze fawns [Music] now when it comes to the people of milwaukee i would say there are some of the friendliest people around whether it be at a baseball game watching the brewers down here in downtown real easy people to get along with very friendly they go out of their way to make conversation and allow you to ask questions and i really like that about milwaukee [Music] as you can see
