      Aside from the morning drinking, all of that could be true of Texas! Except for the liberal parts. The Californians always seem pissed off in the city. But we don’t really count that as Texas anymore so I guess it’s okay. They’re ruining the “Texas friendly” tradition 😥. Wonder what has Californians so angry all the time???

      @@marcw6875 well, I didn't interpreted it that way.
      It is normal to have a few stereotypes, that ofc are always an exaggeration, but still hold some truth most of the time.
      A stereotype about us Germans for example is that we are rather rude. I wouldn't 100 percent agree, there are many nice and polite people here but it always depends on who you compare it with, too. Compared to average Americans, definitely. We are more blunt, we don't smile as much and sometimes stare (idk why that is a thing). But we are still less blunt than Eastern Europeans for example.
      Also all these qualities are not necessarily positive or negative, a bit less politeness gives a bit more room for honesty for example.
      In the end it's up to the individual what they're comfortable with and prefer. 🙂

      Born and raised on the west coast of Michigan and totally agree with you on the beaches in Michigan with their fine sand that does rival Florida beaches on the Gulf side. I had no clue that the sand on the other side of Lake Michigan in Milwaukee looked so different. Such a fun video!!!

    Love it - On the Michigan side of the Great Lakes - we have actual sand beaches vs rocky beaches. I remember being shocked that the Wisconsin beaches were rocky when I did the Lake Michigan Circle tour. If you want real adventurous- take a car ferry from Milwaukee across the big Lake to Michigan.

    • @tinaperez7393
      @tinaperez7393 Рік тому +4

      The west coast of (lower versus upper peninsula) Michigan has amazing white sand dune beaches for absolute sure - Ludington, Michigan being a great example (across from Manitowoc, Wi where the car ferry traverses to Ludington) and of course, the Great Bear Dunes National Park (I think it's a national park, would have to look up to be sure). But there are definitely some really nice white sand beaches tucked away on the Wisconsin side of Lake Michigan at many places all along the shore. I might've been to every one. 😜👍 No kidding!
      And let's not forget the breathtakingly picturesque - almost pacific northwest looking area (with great white sand beaches) on the southern shore of Lake Superior / north shore of Upper Peninsula Michigan (and southern shore of the U.P.) especially around Marquette, Michigan and The Pictured Rocks. Went there for the first time just a few years ago and it was a revelation. So beautiful.
      The seasons around Marquette are so beautiful and the winter sports especially downhill skiing and sledding can't be beat.

    Some of my Copperbox fave songs are "Purple Boa," "Schtumpfer's Cumbia," and "Hopeless Lover". And if those don't get you dancin, well get yerself some CPR cuz yer dead inside! 🤨🤔😯😜 These songs can be found on UA-cam for anyone curious (the album versions have best audio). Btw, Penn, knowing your musical tastes I think you'd actually, genuinely like these tunes. 🤔👍
    * = I'm ashamed to say I have not actually heard of Gus Polinski and the Kenosha Kickers (I'm the opposite direction from Milwaukee further north). I'm sure they're great especially if Midwest Neighbor recommends them. (EDIT: a commenter said it's the Tshirt from Home Alone - didn't know that! 😜). Copperbox are Wisconsin and and Midwest summer festival regulars and polka band royalty, both in quality and being descendents of polka great, Tuba Dan, so definitely worth checking out.
