Any DUers from Racine?

I think I'm about to move there, and I'm gonna need some friends!

I guess if you're from Kenosha, Burlington, or even South Milwaukee, I'll still consider being your friend....:D

1. Sorry... Waukesha County here.

I'm out.

:)

2. Bummer!

:P

13. Me too.

When I went to work in the Waukesha office for Kerry, many of the older people made a point of saying that Waukesha was not origninally controlled by the Repbulicans, or that it was not Republican territory. It was a while back, but they made it clear that they did not own Waukesha. So there is promise for us out here.

3. Please?

Love me....

4. I lived there for two years, and I'm in Bay View (south side of Milwaukee) now...

:hi:

Welcome!

5. Thanks!

Did you move to get away from Racine, or to get closer to Milwaukee? :D

6. I actually bought a house in Waukesha, then sold (divorced) and moved to the city.

Much of my two years in Racine is a complete blur, sadly--it was 10 years ago, seems like 30.

7. Ah, okay...

I'm about a year out from my own divorce. I moved closer to work and let her keep the house in Macon. If everything goes as planned, my time in Macon will fade into a blur, too ;)

8. Brookfield...

Do NOT move here unless you enjoy being surrounded by Republicans.

9. There's no way it's worse that Warner Robins, GA

I live in an Air Force Base town right now. It's sickening. I thought Racine was at least a bit blue. Am I misinformed?

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

10. I'm sure it will be bluer than that you're used to...

Brookfield is full of corporate repukes, with just enough religious nutjobs to be revolting....

11. Anyone know how I can turn up a decent downtown loft that isn't "affordable housing?"

I found a really cool looking loft online, but since I'll be making more than $27,000, I can't move there.

Anyone know any property managers or other agencies that may be able to help me find a nice place to rent in/near downtown?

[TroglodyteScholar]

12. Well, I'll be in town later this week

If anyone has anything for rent in downtown Racine (or knows someone who does), now's the time to speak up!

14. Born and raised in Racine - now in Milwaukee for 36 years

[TroglodyteScholar]

15. No kidding!

I would have considered living in Milwaukee, but I really want to be able to bicycle to work when the weather's nice. I ended up finding an AWESOME place downtown less than 3 mi. from my office, so I'm happy.

Anything I need to know about Racine besides the fact that there's crime and high unemployment?
