Jennifer Posh loves Milwaukee so much that she's made promoting it her full time job. She works as lead copywriter at VISIT Milwaukee by day, and by night she's a blogger, freelancer and avid supporter of the city's theater (and dining!) scene. After growing up in the greater Milwaukee area, she strayed just as far as the state line to study creative writing at Beloit College. She then returned to her favorite city and currently lives in Milwaukee's Bay View neighborhood.
A quick read listing not only some iconic Milwaukee experiences, but also some uniquely Wisconsin experiences.
