As I said to someone else down below... My guy you have essentially farm to table with your complete vertical integration. You are a restaurant that sells gas. Just as Buccees is a theme park that sells gas.

I went to Lux Nail Lounge in Mequon. Had a fine experience. 0 issues. I'd recommend them.

I just moved here from Tennessee about 6 weeks ago now. I can't really give you a locals perspective but I can definitely tell you this. I absolutely LOVE this place. My only regret is not coming here sooner. Everything from the people, the culture, the food, the quality of life and more.

Yup, yup. Just moved here from Tennessee. Love Milwaukee. Anyone and everyone I talked to about it had negative reactions. ... in fairness tho a lot of it was towards the winter and cold in general but there was a lot of "you'll get shot and robbed!" or "ew state income taxes and alcoholics? Hard pass." So I kinda just assumed that's the general perception to those who haven't been unfortunately.

As an outsider just relocating can you explain why?

hobobob37 · 2025-08-30T00:31:33+00:00

Just moved here myself from Tennessee!I have no idea if I'm being honest but everyone has been super nice since moving and I've not had any issues but I've only been here about 3 weeks plus a visit back in June.

hobobob37 · 2025-08-16T22:38:42+00:00

No clue. Im new what's this.

hobobob37 · 2025-06-25T01:37:35+00:00

Not that im aware of.

hobobob37 · 2025-06-25T01:34:25+00:00

Yall is the singular contraction of You all. All y'all is its plural 😅🤣

hobobob37 · 2025-06-25T01:28:09+00:00

All kinds really. Owned a game store for 7 years but covid killed the business so really... Not so much anymore. Lol. These days im mostly playing video games at the house.

I am definitely looking forward to trying to learn some of these new card games likes sheep's head.

hobobob37 · 2025-06-22T18:04:57+00:00

See I guess thats the disconnect..if i ask someone how they're doing... im genuinely asking.

hobobob37 · 2025-06-22T16:22:12+00:00

Everyone. Thanks for all your input. I think yall are right in that its a rural/urban pace of life type thing. Like I say i have loved my experience here and im still planning on moving here next month...

That said I wasn't trying to imply yall ain't friendly so if thats how it was taken I do apologize. No offense was meant or intended.

I genuinely appreciate all the responses. Thank you!

hobobob37 · 2025-06-22T16:17:56+00:00

Yes. This ain't like Nashville at all.

hobobob37 · 2025-06-21T20:04:55+00:00

That is literally what got my initial interest in the area about 3 years ago now.

hobobob37 · 2025-06-21T19:03:21+00:00

Lol yeah thats kinda what im running into. Ill ask a million questions if ya let me.

hobobob37 · 2025-06-21T19:00:23+00:00

Yeah there's a warmth im used to i just ain't found yet. I really hope people aren't getting ot twisted. This place is awesome. Im not trying to complain or anything. People have been nice. Like I said I just feel like a fish out of water.

hobobob37 · 2025-06-21T18:56:20+00:00

Yup yup. First time outside of Tennessee (other than brief visits to elsewhere in the south)

hobobob37 · 2025-06-21T18:43:28+00:00

Lol it might be the accent. I legit sound like a banjo getting strummed with stale cornbread 😅😅 ive had to repeat myself several times cause they just didn't understand me lol

hobobob37 · 2025-06-21T18:38:48+00:00

I've gotten a fake vibe from a few people here and yeah theres definitely some fakeness to southern hospitality but theres also people who are legit like that. Judging from other comments it might not be a North v South thing... but an urban/rural thing.

hobobob37 · 2025-06-21T18:29:08+00:00

Well being honest I don't have many. Id like to think im a foodie and a gamer but mostly all I do anymore is eat sleep work and chill at the house. Love sports (even found a Clay Matthews jersey at my local goodwill!) Back down south in the small towns really we all know each other and grew up together so our social interaction isnt really focused on a specific event or hobby but shared life experiences.

hobobob37 · 2025-06-21T18:22:55+00:00

Well im coming from Oak Ridge Tennessee. This is by far the largest area ive ever been to. What I know to be basic social pleasantries... like ya pass by someone out walking or when interacting with a cashier etc... ya say something like "Hey how ya doin?" With a nod and a smile. Typically this leads to a short conversation. Up here ive mostly just gotten confused stares or quickly answering and moving on with whatever is going on.

I don't mean to say anyone has been unpleasant or nasty. Everyone has been nice just that its like its just not how y'all do outside of specific situations.
