with one qualification-- the number of things to do (and people doing them) declines pretty dramatically by late october, thru about late May. It's not as though the city shuts down but it loses a lot of vibrancy.

But I totally agree--if you can't find MULTIPLE things to do in MKE every single day between may and october (across a wide set of interests) you'll be bored pretty much anywhere. Day-tripping to chicago fills in any gaps

There was just a film crew here shooting for the movie "No God No Master", which is set in the early 1900's during the Red Scare. Starring David Strathairn.
