Milwaukee's on the comeback, and individuals interested in heading to our revitalized city better "move now, before housing costs skyrocket and entrepreneurs start elbowing each other for market space," according to Men's Journal.
The June 2008 issue of Men's Journal (the print edition has Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson on the cover) includes an article called the "Best Places to Live." The magazine selected Portland as its top city, but also gave nods to Bloomington ("Best College Town"), Leadville, Colo. ("Best Adventure Mecca"), and others.
Milwaukee gets national credit in the story's sidebar titled "Best Places: The Comebacks." These are cities that were once great, "fell into decline" but are now "poised to top our list in the next few years."
Men's Journal had this to say about Milwaukee: "The home of Harley-Davidson has seen its per capita income rise sharply, thanks to an influx of tech jobs. And $500 million in Downtown condo investment has sparked a reverse migration. With its Great Lakes-side real estate, the city has always offered after-work water rec, but new in the past decade: Milwaukee Riverwalk and a new addition to the art museum."
Included in the print edition is a picture of the Milwaukee Art Museum.
Also on the comeback list are Richmond, Denver, Spokane, Baltimore, The Dalles, Oregon and Providence.
