I'm from Manitowoc, Wisconsin, a port city on Lake Michigan that retains some renown for building submarines during WWII. It was not a bad place to grow up, but the blue collar factories and farming certainly didn't hold any career excitement for me. So I joined the Air Force to get out and pretty much never looked back.
I recently came across some photos of my hometown on flicker that made me rethink my entire upbringing. Obviously the city has had some visionary leaders through the years; they have repositioned it as a tourist destination and all I can say is, wow.
Was the area always this lovely?
