Oshkosh, really?

Businessweek lists Oshkosh as the best place to raise kids in Wisconsin with West Allis being the best place to raise kids in Milwaukee. Of course, Businessweek decided to run the picture of best place to live in Wisconsin with this -



Which is a picture of Milwaukee.

Journal-Sentinel's write-up -
BusinessWeek likes Oshkosh's mall, new hospital, indoor hockey and soccer rink, and the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh.

West Allis and Eau Claire were picked as runners-up in Wisconsin.

"Things like our parks system, our high-quality schools and amenities like our farmers market allow our residents to enjoy a high quality of life," West Allis Mayor Dan Devine said. "Our location lets us have every benefit of a major city, yet we can keep our small-town feel."


I'd be curious to see how Appleton fared on this list because I prefer it immensely compared to Eau Claire and Oshkosh. Kole has a lot of work to do if Appleton wants to compete with Eau Claire and Oshkosh like make sure you have no choice but to drink your beverage out of a plastic cup at restaurants and turn nice Appleton fields into dumping grounds for trash and traffic jams for yearly festivals about planes and country singers.
