I was born in Milwaukee the year the Braves won the World Series. The Brewers 1982 game 7 loss to the Cardinals was gutting. I was driving across west central Wisconsin on a bleak and rainy Sunday afternoon listening to their chances disappear. I have not lived in Milwaukee in 51 years, rarely go back. It’s a place of many virtues that gets little respect. It will be very sweet to see the Brewers mow down whoever is in their path. Go you Brewers, go!
I used to like going to Milwaukee for events like Summer Fest. It was cheaper, safer, less crowded, and nicer than Chicago. But not so anymore. Milwaukee has really gone downhill in the last 30 years or so. I never go there anymore.
