Glad you enjoyed our city. Definitely a hidden gem overshadowed by Chicago. If you like the 3rd Ward check out the 5th Ward/Walkers Point, it's the "new 3rd Ward".
Milwaukee is a whole different beast in summer. The city really comes alive. Summerfest is a good time. Milwaukee has some surprisingly great beaches like Bradford. Brewer's games are a blast (even if you aren't a fan of the team, the tailgating/party atmosphere make it enjoyable for all). This year Harley also has their big anniversary to close out summer and those bike rallies take over the entire city, it's pretty crazy to see. There are big ethnic festivals on the lakefront every weekend from German Fest and Italian Fest to Mexican Fiesta and Asian Moon. There's something for everyone. Best yet, since this is a skyscraper forum, there should be plenty of towers going up in summer for you to feast your eyes on; Goll Mansion, Farwell Tower, Poto, BMO, 777, Masonic Hotel, and possibly the Couture.
Enjoy the city man! We're happy to have ya.
