An old-world, largely working-class city that's been somewhat overshadowed as a tourist destination by nearby Chicago, up-and-coming Milwaukee has enjoyed a terrific resurgence in the 2000s, with revitalized urban neighborhoods, handsome new condos, and a burgeoning retail and dining scene. This friendly, fairly affordable city hugging the shores of Lake Michigan has a sizable gay population and a vibrant gay nightlife corridor just south of downtown. Here's a look at what to see and do.
