The downtown area is absolutely unreal. It has great sidewalks so I can go on walks and runs. They have a lot of events like the harbor market, pride fest, the fourth of July, stroll and sip, and many more. Downtown Kenosha is right next to Lake Michigan so a lot of people go to the beach. There are so many cute small businesses selling food, snacks, clothes, flowers, vintage products, and more. Kenosha would be a perfect place to build a boardwalk just like Seaside, New Jersey. Then we have the south side of Kenosha. That side has more of chain retsurants and stores like LuLulemon, Nike, Target, and Chick fila. It is a perfect place for buying more basic products. I've grown to love Kenosha over the years because now that I have a truck I can drive around more and have explored the town more too!
Kenosha is the armpit of wisconsin. All the people from chicago that don’t want to pay illinois taxes and hate liberals move to kenosha county. It’s racist and ignorant. Some public schools are decent but most people open enroll to a county school or send their kids to a charter school or private school. There are parks, and free parking, and rough beaches that don’t have showers. There are a couple small museums and the libraries are good for little kids. Not the worst place to live, but not great. People grow uo here and stay here or leave to go to school in Milwaukee or chicago and then come back because they want free childcare for their kids. Most people here have no concept of the outside world and therefore think Kenosha is great. It could be, but people lack innovation of any kind and elected officials have no desire to improve anything. City is broke
I'd love to see crime rates go down. I would love to see that old Kenosha come back. Small businesses stay in business. It would be nice to see more family events. Kenosha is a great town though for families. Neighbors working together for a common purpose. My family grew up in Kenosha. I remember how it used to be many ma and pa places to go. I do wish however that they would start paying people to work. Working for less than minimal wage hurts us as a community. Most people either have to work in the health care fields or corporations. So much of the farming land we used to have been gone now. When I was a child visiting my mother, I remember her always leaving doors unlocked, windows open. It was very different times back then. We are a good strong community that has come together in really trying times. I'd like to see it go further. Kenosha has a lot of heart. It would however be nice if we could move out the people in this town who try to tear it down.
