My cousins live in Milwaukee and are Brewers fans. I grew up in Chicago and am a Cubs fan. They ***HATE*** it when we call Miller, Wrigley North… I was at Summerfest with one of them in July. She was explaining to her best friend from Kentuckyy why Wisconsinites call us FIBs… one of the reasons was how we look at Milwaukee as one of Chicago’s suburbs and all I could do was chuckle.
