Hear what people are saying about Kenosha:
"Kenosha, the city with an identity complex, is a lakefront community between Milwaukee and Chicago. Once, known best for the vast amount of taverns located close to a major automotive factory, Kenosha is quickly joining the ranks of the opitome of a suburb. But which? Chicago or Milwaukee? "
"Kenosha is a beautiful harbor city on Lake Michigan just a few miles northeast of the Illinois/Wisconsin border. During the day along the harbor you'll find people walking, rollerblading, bike riding and even fishing. During the evenings and weekends, you'd be hard-pressed to find as much night life and live music within just a few short blocks as you will in downtown Kenosha. A beautiful city with picturesque views of the Lakefront, art, music, live theater, great food and drink make up this wonderful midwestern harborside town. "
