@@rickyjayster2586 Wow, things REALLY went UPHILL fast then! Cause I live in GB and it's a nice place to live now. I like my neighbors. Living here is not helping out my street cred whatsoever😂
One thing missed that most people don't know is the city is very family friendly. We have good schools, plenty of parks, so many family centered events. I live here and wish that we had some more variety of adult entertainment besides just football games and bars. Very little cultural events or even adult centered events.
My partner & I just moved to Green Bay, Wisconsin last July 2021. So far it's a nice city compared to Milwaukee, Wisconsin! I was born in Milwaukee, WI...❤❤❤ NEW sub as of today! I like it here!
It is difficult to make friends in Green Bay. I have been here for 4 years. I know tons of people, but I have very few friends. People who are from here are friends with their friends from middle school. I'm pretty sure I will always be seen as an outsider even if I live here for 40 years.
That is definitely a struggle I hear from people at times. I know that no two stories are the same so it’s hard to pinpoint the exact reasons or cure. I do encourage people to turn up the intentionality as high as possible. Push to get connected. I would say a good 2-3yrs to settle in is common though. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I was born up that way, but these days, I live outside Dallas. I love Texas, I truly do. But GB is home. I’d move back to GB in a heartbeat if it wasn’t for the damn weather up there. I can’t deal with that cold and snow.
Parts of Allouez bus their kids to South West High School. The other part buses their kids to East High School. I lived in Allouez, a 4 minute drive to DePere HS but we were in the Southwest HS district, a 15-20 minute drive across town.
I grew up in Allouez but went to a private high school. I was actually surprised when I learned part of Allouez was part of the Southwest High School district.
I lived in GB for 2 years for work. The wholesome of the town is really the main seller! It's a very big town with a lot of great people! Course, me being a Bears fan from Chicago, I got a lot of shit on gameday, but when the game was over, folks are very respectful and always there to help you even if they can't stand your jerseys ;) Also, there's quite a lot of stuff to do in GB even if you're not a big football person! Even though my team is Da Bears, my first love was always the Arts! GB has a lot of great music festivals and great halls for music performances and great museums! My favorite is the "National Railroad"
You got it! Coming from a smaller area, and not having a car initially, travel across town seemed daunting. Now many years later and having been in bigger cities I have a much better appreciation for it. It’s definitely not L.A. traffic lol.
I am considering a move somewhere in fox cities. I lost my husband and my daughter and grandchildren are there. I am not sure I can take a big crowded place, so let me know
Thanks for asking Kayla. I can definitely make some content relating to the larger state as well. I have lived in NE, SE, NW, and SW Wisconsin so I have seen lots of the state. Great suggestion! I will have to talk to some people who have moved form Illinois to learn more about their experiences too. Love the ideas! 🥰🥳
That’s a great question. We will have to make another video talking about DePere. My quick opinion, I like it. Beautiful homes, quaint stores, good restaurants, nice views.
You are kidding? No? Well, I got 3 different GB home games this season all off of stubhub. Little pricey, $200 each on average but well worth each trip to lambeau!
Really....you're complaining because it took you 15 minutes to get to best buy and that UWGB is on the far northeast side? I really empathize with your first world problems Drew!
Thanks for sharing what you thoughts. You’re right, when I first moved to GB I knew almost nothing about the city so there are so many things I wish I knew. It’s been so much fun to learn about the city more and more with each person I meet, video I make, and client I serve. You’re also right, I don’t like GB. I love it! So happy to live, work, and learn here.
Thanks for commenting, while I May come off critical at times I assure everyone I love ❤️ Green Bay and am fully invested in its positive growth into the future. Thanks for watching and considering how you can help improve Green Bay too! 😁👍
It might be shocking for a lot of people to believe but there are still people who actually like living in a place with a small town feel😲.
Yes! Big cities have awful vibes!!! Terrible atmosphere
Green bays a shooting range now...

Exactly what I want

Things I wish I knew:
How strict the parking rules are.
Where to shop that supports the local economy.
How round-a-bouts work.
@DriftProYTSF I watched a UA-cam video on round-a-bouts and it saved me when I moved to Henderson, NV (suburb of Las Vegas).
Oh my gosh. I worked in LA for awhile and had to take 2 trains and 1 bus just to get to work. It took 3 hours one way
Love my city I literally can't imagine living somewhere bigger than say Appleton

May i know how many dollars will be spent monthly for a family with 1 kid

I wish I knew the city literally doubles in size on game day!
That’s a big one Dillon. We will hit on that in some Packers related videos to come. Thanks for sharing here.
Heck yeah!!!
Intelligent commentary about Green Bay. Thank you.
Thanks for the kind words. Glad it helps.

For night life we have a lot of bars to drink at!! Big and small

Good riddance to u! Ur a fib!!!!
Love green bay. The weather keeps the californians out.
I just moved from there to the south in May pretty interesting finding this video
Thanks for sharing. What were some things that would have made your time in GB better had you known them?
15 minutes to travel across town is nothing. Must have never lived in a big city before. GB is a small town.
You got it! Coming from a smaller area, and not having a car initially, travel across town seemed daunting. Now many years later and having been in bigger cities I have a much better appreciation for it. It’s definitely not L.A. traffic lol.
You'll sit 15 minutes for a red light in Orlando..
@@johnrolfing5919 Thats sometimes the same in Green Bay
Winters are awesome here.
Lived here my entire life. Know every nook and cranny. Im not leaving, even if they try to make me. Home sweet home.
Very informative..
Thanks Vivian! I am glad it was helpful!
I am considering a move somewhere in fox cities. I lost my husband and my daughter and grandchildren are there. I am not sure I can take a big crowded place, so let me know
coming from sheboygan, the only night life we have are the bars😂
Could you do a video on living the Wisconsin not Justin Greenbay and also can you maybe do one moving from Illinois to Wisconsin.

They're probably closed off because they are worried about becoming another California city.
Do you have any videos covering some of the better private schools in GB?
How you feel about De Pere?
That’s a great question. We will have to make another video talking about DePere. My quick opinion, I like it. Beautiful homes, quaint stores, good restaurants, nice views.
#6 You'll NEVER get a ticket to a Packers game.

Ha ha thanks for keeping it in perspective. 😆 I figured this would come up lol
This is a bit of an odd video. You don’t seem to like GB or know enough about it....and you’re Realtor in GB?

Dude, you went to the wrong mall and you had much closer choices.
not exactly an ambassador of goodwill.
