Geskiedenis en kultuur

Milwaukee se mensegeskiedenis begin met Amerikaanse Indiërs wat eeue lank naby die samevloeiing van Milwaukee se drie riviere in Lake Michigan gewoon het. Stamme wat die gebied bewoon het wat nou Milwaukee is, het Menominee, Fox, Mascouten, Sauk en Potawatomi ingesluit. Met die aankoms van Europeërs en 'n toenemende bevolking word groot en dikwels gewelddadige verdeeldheid meer prominent. Hierdie setlaars het drie nedersettings gebou, Juneautown, Kilbourntown en Walker's Point, rondom die huidige middestad. Die twee voormalige gemeenskappe was buitengewoon mededingend en het twee straatnetwerk geskep. Dit is die rede waarom 1ste Straat wes van die Milwaukee-rivier is en dat baie van die stad se brûe skuins oor die rivier is (wat die twee roosters verbind).

Milwaukee was histories 'n belangrike immigrantstad. Gedurende die vroeë 20ste eeu was die Duitse en Poolse immigrante geneig om te oorheers. Die stad identifiseer steeds sterk met sy Duitse en Poolse erfenis. Gedurende 'n gedeelte van die vroeë 20ste eeu was Duits selfs die hooftaal van die stad, en Duitse name kom steeds baie voor.

Toe golwe van immigrante in Milwaukee aankom, was hulle geneig (en was hulle geneig) om gemeenskappe in spesifieke gebiede te vorm. Die Noord- en Noordwestekant was oorspronklik Duits, maar is nou hoofsaaklik Afro-Amerikaans met Hmong-enklawe. Die nabye suidekant was oorspronklik Pools, maar is nou hoofsaaklik Mexikaans. Juneautown was oorspronklik hoofsaaklik bevolk deur Engelse immigrante sowel as mense uit die ooste van die Verenigde State.

In die 1960's en 70's het baie wit Milwaukeërs na die voorstede getrek ('wit vlug') wat 'n groot rasse- en sosio-ekonomiese kloof tussen die stad en voorstede geskep het. Vandag is die stad steeds sterk gesegregeer met lae sosiale en ekonomiese mobiliteit vir Afro-Amerikaners.

Milwaukee is die tuiste van enkele onmiddellik erkende maatskappye soos Miller Brewing en Harley Davidson. Harley hou elke vyfde herdenking 'n enorme viering. Die 120ste bestaansjaar word in Augustus 2023 gevier.

Milwaukee was eens die tuiste van vier van die grootste brouerye ter wêreld (Schlitz, Blatz, Pabst en Miller), wat dit jare lank die grootste bierproduserende stad in die wêreld gemaak het. Ondanks die afname in sy posisie as die wêreld se voorste bierprodusent deur die verlies van drie van die brouerye, is sy een oorblywende groot brouery, Miller Brewing Company 'n belangrike werkgewer. Miller het meer as 2 200 werknemers aan die westekant van Milwaukee. Al hierdie bierbrouery het die stad die bynaam "Brew City" besorg, en sy identifikasie met en voorliefde vir bier bly sterk soos altyd.

Milwaukee het homself as die "stad van feeste" geadverteer, veral met die klem op 'n jaarlikse somerpartytjie langs die meer, genaamd Somerfees. Summerfest, wat in die Guinness Book of World Records gelys word as 'die grootste musiekfees ter wêreld', lok jaarliks ​​ongeveer 'n miljoen besoekers na sy twaalf stadiums. Kleiner etniese feeste gedurende die somer vier baie van Milwaukee se etniese groepe.

Aardrykskunde

Milwaukee is in die noordelike Midde-Weste, langs die oewer van die Michiganmeer. Dit is ongeveer 90 km noord van Chicago en 330 km suidoos van Minneapolis / Saint Paul.

Kyk

Milwaukee is waarskynlik die bekendste van TV as die instellings van die sitcoms uit die 1970's Laverne en Shirley en Gelukkige dae. Dit het ook gedien as die agtergrond vir talle Hollywood-films. Die films Bruidsmeisies, Transformators 3, Meneer 3000 en Milwaukee, Minnesota is in die omgewing geleë. Milwaukee, Minnesota gee 'n goeie winterportret van die stad en is grotendeels in die Bay View-omgewing verfilm.

In die winter kan die temperatuur gereeld onder -18 ° C daal, maar tot 4 ° C (40 ° F). Oor die algemeen is ses maande van die jaar koud, bewolk en nat. Milwaukee is die tweede koudste groot stad in die land; die winter is baie lank en koud! Die lente is dikwels baie nat en soms koud en ellendig. Dit is nie ongehoord om vroeg in April sneeuval te kry nie. Winterbesoekers kan vinnig 'n idee kry waarom daar soveel kroeë, rolbalbane en feeste in Milwaukee is. Die beste tyd om te besoek is verreweg in die somer of die vroeë herfs gedurende die Indiese somer wanneer die hele lewe lewendig word en almal buite is.

Met openbare vervoer

Vervoerstelsel van Milwaukee County (MCTS)

Milwaukee se busstelsel, MCTS, het 'n uitgebreide dekkingsgebied (85% van Milwaukee County) en kernroetes met baie gereelde diens. Afgeleë voorstede het korter ure, stadiger en minder gereelde diens. Snelbusse genaamd "Freeway Flyers" bied uitstekende diens vanaf die park en ry baie deur die provinsie na die middestad, asook na Brewers-speletjies en -feeste, wat u die moeite met verkeer, parkering en bekommernisse van dronkbestuur bespaar. Snelbusse genaamd "UBuses" bied diens aan die Universiteit van Wisconsin-Milwaukee. MCTS bedien ook die internasionale lughawe Mitchell met sowel 'n plaaslike bus as 'n nuwe, meer snelweg; sien Gaan in vir besonderhede.

As u baie in Milwaukee met die openbare vervoer gaan gebruik, sal dit 'n goeie idee wees om 'n M • KAART aan te skaf, aangesien papieroorplasings vir kontantgeld uitgeskakel is.

  • Enkel ritte: $ 2,25 kontant (geen oordragte nie) of $ 2 gestoor waarde op M • CARD (sluit onbeperkte oordragte binne 90 minute in)
  • 1-dagkaartjie op M • KAART: $ 4 as u dit by 'n verkooppunt koop of in 'n bus met gestoorde waarde koop, $ 5 as u kontant in 'n bus betaal om 'n dagkaart op 'n kaart te laai (goed vanaf eerste gebruik tot 04:59 uur) die volgende oggend)

Bestuurders aanvaar slegs presiese tariewe vir diegene wat kontant betaal. As u nie presies verander nie, hoef u nie meer te betaal nie (hoewel u later terugbetaal kan word, is dit nie die moeite werd nie).

Daar is outomatiese oudio-visuele stop-aankondigings. As u inligting benodig, moet u die busoperateur om hulp vra. Die meeste bestuurders ken die stad goed en gee u graag aanwysings of skakel u stop.

As die weer dit toelaat, is Milwaukee 'n baie aangename plek fiets. Daar is verskillende fietsbane en 'n netwerk van rustige roetes wat die Oak Leaf Trail genoem word. Sommige is selfs beperkte toegangspaaie (dink aan: fietspaadjie), sowel as 105 km fietsrybane op die straat en 121 km onderteken fietsryroetes (die stad beoog om die getal tot 'n paar honderd kilometer te verhoog) van fietsrybane op straat namate strate weer geplavei word).

Bikeshare

Bublr Fietse is Milwaukee se bikeshare-stelsel. Fietsstasies is meestal gekonsentreer in die groter middestad en aan die East Side. Enkelritte kos $ 3 vir 30 minute en kan met 'n kredietkaart by enige fietsstasie betaal word. Bublr verkoop ook 30 dae-passe aanlyn vir $ 15, wat onbeperkte gratis ritte in 60 minute-toere moontlik maak; u kan ekstra koste vermy deur 'n fiets binne daardie tydsbestek terug te stuur en op 'n nuwe een te spring.

Fietsverhuur en toere

Fietswinkels is ook bereid om huurgeld te doen, en verkoop ook produkte van hoë gehalte wat gereeld plaaslik vervaardig word:

Dit is redelik maklik om 'n tweedehandse fiets in 'n goeie werkende toestand by plaaslike tweedehandse winkels te vind, wat baie goedkoper is as om te huur as u langer in die stad gaan bly.

Alle MCTS-busse het fietsrakke wat u gratis met busgeld kan gebruik. As u moeg raak, verdwaal, raak die weer sleg of wat u ook al in die bus kan spring.

Met die taxi

Alhoewel daar baie huurmotors is om aan die vraag te voldoen, moet u nie verwag om net een te vlag nie. Met die uitsonderlike uitsonderings van toue by groter hotelle, die lughawe, trein- en busstasies, wat meestal geleenthede bygewoon het en in die grootste deel van die middestad, moet u een vra. Selfs om van Upper East Side na Downtown te gaan, kan $ 20 kos. Die nommer een maatskappy is Yellow Cab (☏ 1 414 271-1800).

In die warmer (en soms kouer) maande is daar alternatiewe maniere om punt tot punt te kry.

  • Perdekarre is beskikbaar in die middestad en soms aan die East Side, en dikwels buite openbare geleenthede.

Met die motor

Alhoewel dit moontlik is om met die bus na baie voorstede te gaan, verkies sommige toeriste om te ry. U kan 'n huurmotor oplaai by die Milwaukee General Mitchell Field Airport. Daar is verskeie huurmotoragentskappe op die perseel wat u kan help om in die stad te kom, of u nou die omgewing besoek of 'n plaaslike bestuurder wat tydelik ry.

Parkering in die middestad en in sommige sakegebiede (aan die East Side, in sommige voorstede) kos geld. Hou elektroniese meters dop: daar sal 'n nommer op elke posisie wees, en u moet dit betaal aan 'n masjien in die blok (kaarte word aanvaar). Besoekers wat oornag in stadsstrate parkeer, moet die stad skakel by ☏ 1 414 286-8300 om 01:00 om parkeervergunning te vra. Oornagparkering kan ook gratis (tot 3 nagte) aanlyn geregistreer word by die DPW se nagparkeerterrein.

Parkering buite die middestad / East Side is oor die algemeen 'n probleem. Verkeerstoestande wissel.

Brouerye

Verbod en Al Capone

Die Brew City is swaar getref deur verbod, 'n groot deel van die plaaslike ekonomie is gesluit en dorstige Milwaukeans kon hul smarte nie drink nie. In die 1920's het Chicago-gangster-aktiwiteite noord na Milwaukee gekom tydens die Prohibition-era. Al Capone, het die Chicago-mobster gesê, het 'n huis in die Milwaukee-voorstad Brookfield besit, waar maanskyn gemaak is. Die huis staan ​​steeds in 'n straat wat na Capone vernoem is.

Brouerye is 'n integrale deel van die beeld van Milwaukee. Alhoewel die aantal grootskaalse bedrywighede in die afgelope dekade afgeneem het, is die bynaam "die Brew City" steeds waar, en mikrobrouerye floreer. Op verskillende plekke in die stad is die reuk van gis van die bierfabrieke nogal sterk. Milwaukee was eens die tuiste van vier van die grootste brouerye ter wêreld: Schlitz, Blatz, Pabst en Miller. Vir baie jare was dit die grootste bierproduserende stad ter wêreld. Van hierdie vier is net Miller oor.

  • Miller-Coors Brewing Company bied uitstekende toere aan en het ook 'n besoekersentrum by sy reusagtige broukompleks aan die westekant van Milwaukee. Miller en Coors het die brouery gesamentlik saamgevoeg, maar die toer is steeds gebaseer op die historiese Miller-onderneming. Die toer begin met 'n kort video van bekende Miller-advertensies, gaan voort na die oorspronklike brouery om die groei en vordering van die onderneming te demonstreer en eindig by 'n kroeg vir 'n bietjie bierproe.

Sports

Neighborhood visits

  • Sentrum - Downtown Milwaukee consists of two neighborhoods which sit across the Milwaukee River from each other.

Juneautown (or Eastown), between the lake and the river, is the financial heart of the city, as well as the place where Milwaukee was born. The city's tallest building, the 601-foot USBank Tower, is here along the lake, as are some of the other architecturally significant buildings, including the Cathedral of St. John and Milwaukee's City Hall. There are a number of coffee shops and restaurants, but except for around Cathedral Square and Milwaukee Street area mostly closes down after business hours.

Across the river, Kilbourntown (or Westown) serves as the city's entertainment center. Here you will find attractions such as the Wisconsin Center, Milwaukee's primary convention center. Nearby are the Grand Avenue Mall, the Milwaukee Theater, and the Bradley Center. Many of the city's hotels are here as well, as are some excellent restaurants and clubs. Further to the west is Milwaukee's gigantic neo-classical Courthouse, the Milwaukee Public Museum, and the ornate Milwaukee Central Library. While none of the city's tall buildings have public observatories, you can get a fantastic view from Polaris, the revolving restaurant perched atop the Hyatt Regency in the heart of Kilbourntown.

The Riverwalk lines both sides of the Milwaukee River through the downtown area, and is home to a number of pieces of public art, as well as some of the city's most popular restaurants.

Street in the Third Ward
  • Historic Third Ward - This small district, directly to the south of Juneautown, is Milwaukee's version of the trendy urban "warehouse district." The streets of the Third Ward are lined with 19th and early 20th-century warehouse buildings which have been converted into lofts and offices. At street level, chic shops and restaurants are commonplace. The area is also an entertainment hub. Die Eisner Museum of Advertising and Design is at 208 N Water St, blocks from the Broadway Theater Center, home of the Skylight Opera. On the ward's southern boundary -the Milwaukee River - one can find the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design (or just MIAD), which is the centerpiece of the city's art scene. On Gallery Night, which occurs once every three months, the Third Ward hums with activity, as it is home to the city's largest collection of art galleries. The Third Ward is also home to the newest section of the Riverwalk, which offers some fantastic views of the downtown skyline. The Third Ward is within walking distance of downtown.
  • Fifth Ward/Walker's Point Founded by George Walker in June of 1835 as a fur trading post, Walker's settlement was combined with Juneautown and Kilbourntown to become the City of Milwaukee in 1846. Walker also contributed to the building of the city's first streetcar line in 1859. Walker's Point is south of the Third Ward, and is served by the #18, 15, and 19 buses from Downtown. The northern part of the neighborhood (especially north of National Avenue) is a rapidly re-developing warehouse district, home to many popular restaurants, cafes, clubs, and bars, while the southern and western parts are mainly Hispanic. The neighborhood is also the center of Milwaukee's gay scene.
  • Avenues West/Marquette is the neighborhood immediately west of Downtown. Home to Marquette University, the area has a large student population, and consists mainly of mid-rise apartments and walk-ups as well as many of the city's social services institutions. The neighborhood is relatively seedy the further away you get from the university, although its not particularly dangerous. The Pabst Mansion and Rave/Eagle's Ballroom (music venue) are in the neighborhood, along Wisconsin Avenue.
  • Martin Luther King Drive - A period of urban renewal has revitalized this neighborhood with brand new restaurants, coffee houses and jazz, blues and neo-soul lounges. It is known as the epicenter of African-American commerce in Wisconsin. From downtown, simply continue north on Old World 3rd Street which turns into Martin Luther King Drive. The #19 bus runs the entire length of the street.
  • The East Side. This neighborhood stretches from downtown to the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee. Sandwiched between the Milwaukee River and Lake Michigan, it is home to high-rises, elegant mansions, college students, and everything in between. The areas around Brady Street and North Avenue are particularly lively, with many different local shops, restaurants and bars. The number 30 bus runs from Downtown down Farwell/Prospect every few minutes during the day, and the #15 runs down Water, Brady, and Oakland. At Brady, Ogden, and Lafayette there are steps down to the parks and beaches along the lake. 
  • Riverwest - An older working-class neighborhood bordered by the Milwaukee River or the south and east and Holton Street on the west. Riverwest is one of the most racially integrated in the city. As the East Side and Downtown have gentrified, Riverwest has become an increasingly diverse neighborhood, and is also home to much of the hipster and alternative scenes in Milwaukee. Amongst the many hipsters, one can still find plenty of Puerto Rican families and grandmothers. Center Street and Clarke Street are the main commercial areas of the neighborhood. The buses 10 (Humboldt Ave) and 14 (Holton St) stop at both streets on their way north from Downtown.
  • Bay View - A vibrant area on the city's south shore with lots of neighborhood bars and restaurants. Number 15 bus south from downtown. Kinnickinnic Avenue is the neighborhood's main street and is lined with shops, bar, restaurants, and cafes.
  • Historic Mitchell Street - This once Polish center is now home to some of Milwaukee's most vibrant Hispanic culture. The busiest area of the street is between 6th and 13th Streets. The #54 bus runs down Mitchell, and the 80, 19, and 14 connect the neighborhood to Downtown.

Parks

Milwaukee has one of the best public parks systems in the country. The area of parkland and beaches along the lake is the crown jewel of the system, and gets very busy during good weather.

  • Cathedral Square Park - This park is a square in the center of the city, bordered by Kilbourn on the North, Wells on the South, Jackson on the East and Jefferson on the West. It is most notable for Jazz In the Park, free outdoor Jazz concerts on Thursday evenings during the summer.
  • Veteran's Park - This park is by the lakefront, just north of the Art Museum and War Memorial. Veteran's Park includes a lagoon where you can rent a paddle boat, a kite store, and bike rentals.
  • McKinley Marina and Beach - McKinley Park is a great place for people who want to fish or relax on the beach. Many people also love to stroll out on the giant breakwater that goes out into Lake Michigan. During the summer, there are plenty of fishermen here as well. An easy way to get to McKinley Park is to take the Brady Street pedestrian bridge over Lincoln Memorial Drive (from the Brady Street area), or just walk North from Veteran's Park.
  • Bradford Beach - This is one of the larger beaches in the Milwaukee area, and has seen an influx of money which has led to significant improvements, including the renovation of the beautiful art deco beach house.
  • Lake Park - Lake Park was designed and built by Frederick Law Olmsted, the same man who built Central Park in New York. It is one of Milwaukee's most beautiful parks and can be found by going up the hill (West) on the North end of Bradford Beach.

Milwaukee is home to several Fortune 500 companies; in fact, the metropolitan region (defined as the Milwaukee-West Allis-Waukesha area) was "ranked number five in the nation when measuring the number of Fortune 500 companies as a share of the population - just behind the number four Minneapolis-St. Paul region in Minnesota". The area has a wide employment base, with companies ranging from high-tech and specialty manufacturing firms (GE Medical, Harley Davidson) to retail and finance corporations (Kohl's, Northwestern Mutual).

The Milwaukee-Racine metropolitan area was also rated one of the Top 20 Hot Cities for Entrepreneurs in 2005.

Alternative Economies

The Cream City had a socialist city government for several decades, the only city in the United States to have had this political leaning. The city has a strong labor union network, organized due to poor treatment of the massive amount of industry workers. Today, unions remain very controversial and are constantly given as a reason businesses outsource or move production out of state. Collectivism has gained some new steam. Collectives include the artists of Borg Ward, designers at Sparrow Collective, Brewing Grounds for Change Coffee, as well as several food-coops like the Riverwest Coop.

Milwaukee is one of the best places to get products made in Wisconsin. From fine food to Harley Davidson Motorcycles, Milwaukee offers amazing variety and quality for very reasonable prices.

Several shopping malls are outside of the city. There are a few shopping areas including the Third Ward and the East Side around Prospect and North or Brady St as well as other shops of assorted types across the city.

Slaap

Besoekers aan Milwaukee vind dit die maklikste om in of naby die middestad te bly, waar die meeste hotelle in die stad is. Milwaukee het 'n jeugherberg en 'n verskeidenheid hotelle om aan die meeste begrotings te voldoen. Daar is 'n klein bed en ontbyt distrik aan die Westside.

Goedkoop hotelle kan gevind word in die Nabye Suid- sowel as die Noorde, en die kwaliteit hiervan is geneig om die gemiddelde lewensgehalte in die gebiede te weerspieël, en dit is dus moontlik nie aan die standaarde van relatief welvarende reisigers nie.

Meer generiese goedkoper hotelle is buite die stedelike stad. Daar is byvoorbeeld 'n strook goedkoop hotelle op College Ave naby Mitchell Internasionale Lughawe. Naby die meeste interstate kan u ook kettinghotelle vind.

Bly veilig

Milwaukee, soos alle groot Amerikaanse stede, het 'n relatiewe hoë misdaadsyfer. Aangesien die meeste misdaad in spesifieke armer gebiede gekonsentreer is, is die grootste deel van die stad heeltemal veilig. Alhoewel feitlik alle toeristebestemmings in Milwaukee en omgewing veilig en toeganklik is gedurende die dag en nag, moet gesonde verstand altyd geld. Soos enige ander plek, help dit om bewus te wees van u omgewing. Soos in die meeste Amerikaanse stede, is gevaarlike woonbuurte geneig om baie sleg te loop.

Die gebiede van Milwaukee langs die oewer (ook waar die meeste besienswaardighede is) is gewoonlik die veiligste.

Die west- en suidekant van Milwaukee bied ook interessante toeriste-geleenthede, waaronder Milwaukee se beroemde basiliek en die Grieks-Ortodokse kerk van Frank Lloyd Wright. Misdaad kan oral gebeur; Moenie dat geografiese stereotipes u reise bepaal nie.

Die gebied begrens deur I-43 in die ooste, Capitol Dr in die noorde, North Ave in die suide en Sherman Blvd in die weste bevat van die armste dele van die stad en is veral gevaarlik. Die Near South Side het ook ernstige bendeverwante misdaadprobleme, maar dit is goed gedurende die dag, veral in die hoofstrate.

Hanteer

Die buitewyke van Ozaukee, Waukesha en Racine Counties het ook die reputasie dat hulle polities en sosiaal konserwatief is. Dit is die beste manier om net hierheen te gaan. As u 'n LGBT-besoeker is, sal liefde in hierdie gebiede die koppe laat draai. Sommige voorstede is selfs konserwatiewer as die landelike dele van die staat. Milwaukee is nie so sosiaal liberaal soos MadisonAlhoewel mense in Milwaukee in die algemeen verdraagsaam is teenoor mekaar, selfs al is baie van die verskillende sosiale en etniese groepe geneig om mekaar te vermy. Die kliek-kultuur is groot in die streek en baie mense het saam grootgeword, dus moenie verbaas wees om 'n onvriendelike ontvangs te kry van sommige mense wat u as buitestaander ontmoet nie. Om u nie konserwatief aan te trek nie (hou tred met modetendense, v-nekke, hoogmode, ens.), Word gewoonlik in die suidooste van Wisconsin afgekeur, en dit sal u 'n snaakse voorkoms van plaaslike inwoners gee, so as hierdie soort aandag u dan pla pak daarvolgens. Die stad raak al hoe meer ontspanne.
