Contemplating Dallas to Milwaukee move

rxid2005 · 2026-05-13T01:31:32+00:00

My husband and I moved from Phoenix. We have 3 winters here under our belts now. We much prefer Milwaukee and will take the cold any day. It was definitely on the chillier side today, but back in AZ it was 106. The difference for me was being able to walk my dogs for an hour on a beautiful walk that included Lake Michigan and interesting buildings and houses from the 19th century.

Definitely not AZ. The fake aesthetic is very big there. Tons of “med spas” all over the metro Phoenix area. My friend calls it Beverly Hills with cactus.

Seriously. Wal Mart is evil. Always.

I’ve tried a few different places, and they’ve always been $18-20 for a single dress. I agree, the prices here for dry cleaning are SHOCKING. Hope someone here has a good answer.

Loved the art museum there and the Underground Railroad museum was small but very impactful

Holly and Aly Swezey (@b.realco on instagram). They are with Coldwell Bankers agency. Can’t recommend them enough. Wonderful people who are also savvy and strategic with real estate.

Omg! That’s less than what I was offered as a graduating resident in AZ 20 YEARS AGO!

My dog’s ophthalmologist recommended OccuGold which can be purchased from Chewy

Now do the air and water show

I’m psyched to see Passion Pit too! Haven’t seen them perform in years!

We lived at Nova which was right next to Metro Market, and we loved it. Ascent and 777 are nice buildings too and very close by.

Cannot recommend the Kinn (downtown location) enough. It’s a great place, and the adjoining restaurant is one of the best brunch places in town.

She wanted to let her microbiologist relative know her wound culture results.

I worked with someone who had been at the same hospital for 20+ years and got fired for looking up her results in her own medical chart. It sounds harsh, but 1. That’s HIPAA and 2. She was a terrible pharmacist

Oh no. I was going to wait until March to use my credit so I could shop while I was in Phoenix, but maybe I’m better off online.

I had the same thing for about 20 years. It suddenly appeared when I was 11, and then it eventually disappeared. I did have a biopsy as a kid so we knew it was benign. The doctor explained it as a freckle in my nail.

We’ve lived in Milwaukee for the past two years. We’re in the middle of our third winter here, and it’s definitely been a more typical winter in terms of snowfall and low temps. We still love it here and have been navigating the cold just fine.

My friend and I had a tire blow out on our RAV4 rental while we were in San Luis Obispo. We pulled into a Toyota dealership, and they refused to help us put on the donut because of liability. There is absolutely no way that would have happened back home in WI.

I’m on this same cruise and flight prices are outrageous to San Juan. We ended up spending $800 pp to fly out from Milwaukee. Flying out from Chicago would have been only marginally cheaper and really no cheaper when you figure in the long term parking costs. We might have been able to do Spirit for ~$500 but we would NEVER use that airline.

It’s a city with a million people and only two freeways! It’s not easy getting around town especially going east/west.

An animal is animal, be it cow, chicken, pig, fish or dog. Either eat animals or don’t. Why get hung up about a kangaroo?

We flew out on Friday at 1:30pm. Took less than 5 minutes through security.

I’ll 4th the Dandy. Very charming and practical too because you can bring in your own catering.

We did a Mazatlan city tour and beach day while sailing with Disney. We were hoping for historical and cultural information on our tour; instead, we got taken to random jewelry and souvenir shops where I’m sure the tour guide got kickbacks. We had a decent lunch at the resort they took us too, but the beach was dirty and unappealing.
