Don't bother, sometimes it seems like half of this subreddit is populated with insecure coastal residents/city-slickers who can't feel good about where they live without bringing down the heartland.

I'm absolutely astounded whenever I talk about Indianapolis here. I don't even try to frame it as a metropolis or vacation destination, just a really great place to live and a nice city, and every time a legion of people show up to trash it. How on earth do people who haven't spent any time at all in Indy seriously try to say it sucks to someone who has lived here for 35 years?

Milwaukee's a great place, spent a lot of time there when I had family in Wisconsin. Don't let the snobs around here get you down, I guarantee you none of them have any idea what they're talking about.
