I've never been to Wisconsin

[Radio_Guy]

Give me some reasons to visit there.

[Droopy]

1. Beautiful countryside, friendly people.

[UrbScotty]

2. A reason NOT to: Their junior US Senator is LOUSY!

}(

Another reason: They're not Michigan. }(

[KC21304]

3. You are a day late with your April Fool post.

[UrbScotty]

35. Whoops

}(

[CarpeDiebold]

4. best steaks you'll ever have

and the gorgeous land

i wish i lived there.

[KC21304]

5. You may meet a very moral, honest Sen. Feingold.

And then someday you may be able to say, I met him before he was President.

[bigwillq]

6. Me neither (nt)

[CatholicEdHead]

7. Rolling farm country, beautiful lakeshore in the north

and river bluffs in the west. Very scenic bike trails across the state, nice people, good beer (Spotted Cow, Honey Weiss), the "Berkley of the North" aka Madison.

[Callalily]

28. And don't forget

Beloit College - the Harvard of the Midwest!

[long_green]

8. I've never been there and I can tell you that you're not missing

anything. All Wisconsonians are mud people.

[xmas74]

9. I'm originally a Wisconsite.

[long_green]

12. and....what? I'm right, ain't I?

Wisconsin is where the American dream was bludgeoned to death with big wheel of Gouda. To know a Wisconsonian is to live in fear.

Wisconsonian sounds more sinister. Wisconsinite sounds too much like actual people from Wisconsin.

[xmas74]

13. I'm damn proud to be from WI.

[KC21304]

Being from Wisconsin I feel I have the right to say this

to you because you insulted me first. You not only are not right but you sound a little loony besides.

[long_green]

16. You thought I was serious? "Wisconsonians are mud people?"

Come on, now.
In all seriousness, everything I have ever heard about Wisconsin paints the same rosy picture described in all the serious posts in this thread.
The loony thing is correct, alas.

[xmas74]

19. That's why I didn't go too far.

I knew you were not serious but I wanted to see if this would flame up.

Normally, I'd help w/ the flames but I can't this time. I can't think of anything really bad.

[long_green]

22. But xmas, that's why we must ATTACK.

We can't let monotonously decent people from a beautiful state get the upper hand here. We must all of us man the barricades of random and disproportionate hostility.

[xmas74]

23. But I miss my home!

I can't attack it.

I'd move back there in a heartbeat if I could afford it!

[long_green]

24. What about Knickerbocker beer. It's from Lacrosse, WI

With all of the microbrews up there some might turn up their nose but I remember drinking one brought down by a friend and I liked it. Is it a "good beer" or merely the Rainier of the Midwest?

[Droopy]

15. So if you've never been there

Then how did you form an opinion of the place?

I've been there many times and I always meet friendly people there. It also happens to be a blue state.

[long_green]

18. see post #16. Bless you.

[Droopy]

20. Yeah, sarcasm doesn't always translate well over a message board

[KitchenWitch]

37. Nice broad brush stroke dude!

:eyes:

Although I am not from Wisconsin, many of my relatives are, I love Wisconsin.

[gizmo1979]

10. I live there and I can't think of anything

special.Door county peninsula is nice in the summer.Lot's of golf in my neighborhood,Whistling straits, blackwolf run,some nice state parks.

[xmas74]

11. Northern WI toward the MI border is stunning.

If the person is an outdoor enthusiast they would love it. Hunting, fishing, hiking, camping-beautiful.

[TheMightyFavog]

33. Door County's nice...

If you can stand driving amongst the FIBS.

[no name no slogan]

14. Wisconsin's alright

No Minnesota, mind you, but nobody's perfect

[Kali]

17. I understand Madison has a FABULOUS community radio station.

But I am not sure that would be a reason to visit. Maybe a side reason for a road trip?

[xmas74]

21. Seeing the world's largest six pack of beer is reason alone

to visit and envy the residents!

[Kali]

25. Nah, but DRINKING the worlds largest 6-pack might be!

ha ha
Just kidding. Lived there for a couple years myself. When I was 3 or so. Have about that many memories too!

[xmas74]

26. I miss living there.

It's beautiful.

[IsIt1984Yet]

27. Here are a few

Holy Hill:


Gorgeous Lakes (and more than MN):


Home of Harley:


Wisconsin Dells:


A Johnsonville brat properly prepared:


And, of course, Madison:

[madrchsod]

[IsIt1984Yet]

32. Oh yes! And one more.

[Radio_Guy]

36. Don't want to start a flame war, but...

I've been told Leon's is better than Kopp's. Is it?

[TheMightyFavog]

34. Point!

29. Nobody said "cheese"?

jeez

[madrchsod]

30. wisconsin dells

that`s all you need to know about wisconsin. opp`s madison

[Radio_Guy]

38. Sounds like I need to start in Milwaukee

Spend a few days there, head west to Madison for a couple days, then up to the Dells.

I don't hunt or fish, sorry. I can't stand the thought of killing another living being. But I'll admire the scenery.

Thanks all. If anything has been left out, keep the suggestions coming.

[Rabrrrrrr]

39. I've been to almost every state, and Wisconsin is most beautiful.

While it doesn't have the perfection of Hawaii or the giganticness of Alaska, which two states are probably the most beautiful in all of America, Wisconsin is tops for the lower 48.

And that's not to demean the many other amazing states - Wyoming, New York, Vermont, Maine, Missouri, Arizona, Washington, etc. But Wisconsin is a state that is perfectly and wondrously beautiful in every part of the state, except Beloit, and has many varied and different terrains.

And Wisconsin has some truly amazing things to offer - the bluffs along the Mississippi, the Carr Valley Cheese Shop in Mauston, the sheer beauty of the very northern part of the state, the Harley factory, the best bratwurst in the world, wildlife galore, more cranberries than you can shake a dead cat at...

Sigh.... tis a nice place, indeed.

[madrchsod]

40. god`s country

another reason to go to wisconsin

[liberaltrucker]

41. I was there today

Menomonie, to be precise.
Post 40 had it right.
God's country-and damn good

:)

[book lady]

42. Milwaukee's lakefront...

Festa Italiana, especially the fireworks display...it will truly get your heart pumping

[XNASA]

43. Fish Boil!!!!!!!
