Wisconsin is on the western shore of Lake Michigan, north of Illinois and south of Minnesota. I have been there only once. It was strange I had been to all of the states around it, and not Wisconsin for a long time. So a few years ago when we were in Chicago for a few days, I scheduled a day-trip. We took the train from Chicago to Milwaukee, had lunch, wandered around the spectacular art museum on the shore of Lake Michigan (image above) and took the train back to Chicago in time for dinner. We wandered through a great market near the train station and had lunch in a working class local bar.
Much of the state is farmland and woodlands. It has a rust belt post industrial vibe. The southeast of the state is close enough to Chicago for commuters. Someday I will see the interior of the state.
We will visit next summer, Cousin Ray, who produces the podcast Life Between the Vines lives about 90 miles north of Chicago O'Hare, in Wisconsin horse country. I have promised him we will visit next summer when we are in Chicago for ABA Meetings.
A nice place to visit in the summer. A chilly place to visit in the winter.
