I just noticed this post now. Interesting. I didn't know about this. Nothridge is the other side of town from me, but I will definitely check it out.
I found the first comment under the article interesting:
"I take serious issue with the way this Lara Farrar person from CNN wrote this article..
Starting it with those two stock photos she pulled --- one attempting to look like your stereotypical Americana carnival -- probably taken in hick-lanta, where CNN is based... then she opens with "in the most unlikely of places: Milwaukee, Wisconsin."
umm, F-you, CNN... Milwaukee has an ethnically diverse population including residents from Asian nations such as China. It's just as likely a city to be home to a Chinese mall as any other American city without a major Chinatown. Also, she writes out the full location of the city as being in "Milwaukee, Wisconsin", as if to expect the reader doesn't know what state Milwaukee is in. Ridiculous.
She then picks out a quote from the investor that continue her demeaning tone... "the pace of living is slow"
-- again, people are lot slower in CNN's hometown of Atlanta and in the South than they are in the Midwest...
Then another reference to the "Rust Belt"... again F-you, Lara Farrar and CNN. You're jealous you didn't get this in the Bible Belt.
It's people like her and stories that are written like this which perpetuate Milwaukee's negative image among the ignorant masses."

People really ARE ignorant about most places more than 100km from home, but it's true that it is exponentially more annoying when journalists are spouting nonsense. I am unable to read Time or Newsweek because all of their articles about Europe have me seething with fury within two minutes, even though the correspondents are supposedly based in Europe!
