^^^ What you said about old money remnants is definately true. Milwaukee seems to have a TON of old money around. As a percent of the rich population I would say the old money is far more prevelant than in Chicago where it seems most of the rich are "self made" in some capacity. When you take a drive up Lake Drive in Milwaukee, it's not just old money, but archaic money. I went to high school with a lot of old money kids and some of them are 4th or 5th generation grads of my school who are expected to take over the same industrial business their great great grandfather started in 1880.

However, I have to point out that Chicago is only about 1.5 hours (downtown to downtown) from Milwaukee. You can get from the South edge of the City of Milwaukee to the North edge of Chicago in an hour without traffic. That is extremely proximity even compared to Jax/Orlando.
