I love the lush amount of trees in Milwaukee. Compared to Copenhagen Denmark in Europe where I currently live Milwaukee looks like a forest even in city areas like the east side all the old trees around. It's very green compared to other cities and makes a huge difference in the vibe there I think. It makes me wonder why other cities don't plant more trees and protect the old ones more.
I've lived in Franklin for the last 26 years. I find it strange that you group it together like this. The suburb that is most similar too, and feels most like part of our community is Oak Creek, and you didn't even mention it. We do use some of the parks and shopping in Greendale, Greenfield and Hales Corners, but... I think most of the metro area does. I agree with your representation that living in Greenfield is very much like living in Milwaukee, whereas Franklin is definitely suburban. but to me, that's one more reason why I wouldn't lump them together.
I personally can see why he lumped them together. I’m from the Northshore area Mequon and live in Germantown. When I happen to be on the southern part of Milwaukee, I get the same impression for lack of a better word as the narrator does. I see Franklin, Greendale, Hales Corners, and Greenfield as western suburbs of Milwaukee. Oak Creek to me is different as I lump it in with South Milwaukee, St. Francis, Cudahy, and Bay View (even though it’s Milwaukee) as the South Shore. I think and assume that’s the angle the host was going with this. Mequon is huge and is apart of the Northshore and at the same time can be lumped with Germantown. Mequon is that big.
@@trooper40below thanks for sharing your perspective! What I start to understand is that on a local level everyone is very protective of their neighborhood. For someone moving to Milwaukee Shorewood and Whitefish Bay may seem quite similar and both are obviously part of the North Shore, but don't tell that anyone in those two communities, they will vividly disagree!
yeah, not only Greendale. All of Milwaukee. It is entirely possible to build streets that don't crumble from the frost, but for some reason, we opt for a cheap 5 year patch and then act surprised when we have pot holes...
I'm half American, my dad grew up in West Allis and I feel like living there.

You make a good point, I can't argue with your logic 👍
