^^^ Probably true, Milwaukee actually has a similar feel to Kansas City or Minneapolis, but is overshadowed because it doesn't have a large rural region to dominate all by itself like those cities do. For example, when you look at a map you've got Kansas City and Minneapolis emblazoned in large block letters across entire states, but Milwaukee has to be spelled out in smaller font to make room for the word "CHICAGO" to be stamped in enouroumous letters to the south of it.

I've actually seen a lot of maps where Chicago, Minneapolis, and KC are all on the map, but they don't even mark Milwaukee because the top of the "C" in Chicago runs over where the dot for Milwaukee would lie. And as if Chicago weren't enough, Milwaukee isn't the state capitol either. Madison is just an hour west of Milwaukee and is often more likely to be marked than Chicago since a lot of map makers want to show places of political and major economic importance first.
