Hello from Muskego, Wisconsin

[sachamay]

Hi,

I recently moved to WI from IL. I am still kind of lost, because I don't know anybody here yet.

Where do you buy platanos here? Where can I get my hair relaxed? Any dominicans in the area?

Thanks for your message!!!!

Where in the world in wisconsin is Muskego? Is it closer to Milwaukee or Minneapolis?

Having lived in the Milwaukee area for many years, I feel qualified to respond to this one.
There are very few Dominicans in the Milwaukee/Waukesha area, but there are some. There is a young UW-M student, and some missionaries (we have missionaries here too) and a couple of youngsters too. Check the archives on dr1. The UW student posted, so you can probably get in touch.
Muskego is probably 40 minutes from Milwaukee, and usually, you can find platanos in Pick n Save.
We now live in the Madison area. A little over an hour from Milwaukee.
Minneapolis is in Minnesota, about 6 hours from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Welcome to the area.

thanks for your reply.

Muskego is a very pretty area. There are many lakes out here. I live very close to a lake called Lake Denoon. I am waiting for the snow to melt so that I can go out and enjoy the nature. LOL

take care my compatriotas.

Wisconsin is a beautiful state. One of my favorites. If you like potato salad, you can't be from too far away.

You and all people from Wisconsin are so kind!

I stayed at Wisconsin Dells and Madison for a week. It is indeed a very beautiful state.

I had a dinner buffet at Ho Chunk Casino and the food was excellent!

Happy Holidays!

Very true! lol

On University Avenue in Madison, there is a Steak House (I forgot the name of it). It is across the street from Atlanta Bread house. The food was fantastic!!!

Do you live in Wisconsin?

Happy Holidays!

Hello to all...I am a new member and felt like jumping in on this thread! I am from Minnesota, living very near the MN/Wisconsin border. I just spent December in the DR and will be returning for the month of March.

This thread made me laugh, especially the generalized comments made about Wisconsin and its farms. It's true that WI is mostly farms, but each larger metropolis has its own charm. My uncle is a professor at the University of Madison, so I am more partial to Madison than Milwaukee...but I have a friend there too. The Sosua area was described on one website as a "charming little farming town known for its meat and cheese". It's the same as calling the MN/WI area a "farm"...Wisconsin is known for its cheese (just watch a Packers football game...they wear cheese on their heads!) But there's always more to a place! Between Cabarete and POP there is a lot more to do than milk cows.

Being from Minnesota, though...I have to encourage you to try our beautiful state also! Especially in the summertime. Right on the license plate it says "Land of 10,000 Lakes." I live on Lake Superior, near the "Twin Ports" area of Duluth/Superior. I also recommend, if you haven't already, visiting the "Twin Cities" of Minneapolis/St. Paul. Again, unless you love to ski...visit in the summertime. Leave your Packers gear at home...we are Vikings/Twins/Timberwolves fans here.

I know your post asked if there are any Dominicans in the area...but would you settle for a "culture exchange" program from a northern US girl, trying to learn about the DR?
