The Great Milwaukee Lake Mystery: It's Not What You Think (Probably)
Ah, Milwaukee! City of festivals, breweries that would make your grandpa jealous, and...a giant lake? Hold on there, Sherlock, before you grab your deerstalker hat (or cheesehead, as the case may be) to solve the mystery of Milwaukee's lake situation, let's get one thing straight.
Milwaukee sits on the shores of a Great Big Lake, Folks

Crashing waves, endless horizons, and a source of drinking water so fresh it'll practically slap you awake (okay, maybe that's a slight exaggeration, but it is delicious).
