Racine is a great city along Lake Michigan, it is also right between Milwaukee, WI and Chicago, IL. Given its proximity to these larger cities it gives a resident a great variety of activities and cuisine to try. Racine, of course, has excellent food in its downtown are but it also has many restaurants that are a little more hidden but offer great food as well!
Racine has live music every month on Main Street and the surrounding bars and restaurants. It certainly is a nice city to enjoy live music by the lake and spend time with friends and family.
With rivers going through it, Racine also offers a great are for water sports such as tubing and kayaking.
The 4th of July fireworks bring plenty of citizens out to the lake for socializing and spectating. North Beach has a bit of elevation before arriving to the sand, and that makes great seating for the turnout.
Make sure to check out Racine's 'Party On The Pavement' if you can! Lots to see and like in this city!

I love Racine! We have free beaches, parks and weekly concerts and events all summer! Our library is amazing! It offers classes, activities and resources for everyone! And we’re located right between Milwaukee and Chicago so we can participate in all the big city events (sports, concerts, plays, etc) without the big city hassles.
I really like the neighborhood I am in, its very quiet. I am nearby downtown, but pretty far away from bigger crime centre's in the area! There are a lot of food and study location options!
