Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

All this Kenda talk.....

 

Makes you want to get a set eh?

 

Hi all

New tonthis thread. My wife and I are considering a move to Wisconsin. I've visited for training several times (mercury marine) and enjoyed the place. We're currently considering Merrill, wasau area

 

Welcome! @Taco-Grinder works for that establishment. Can't go wrong with either of those places in my opinion. Lots of access to fun, lakes and beautiful country

 

Jealous?

 

Welcome!

That's a great area!

 

Then don't let your wife drive.

Welcome
If you do move, let us know
We'll get together. We got some good folks in this group.

 

We've enjoyed it when we visited a couple summers ago.

 

Much appreciated! Gotta find a job for me and the wife first haha

 

Gotta be careful, though - I hear the bartender tends to give out heavy pours

You're really tempting me to do the same, Jason...

Looks great!!

 

Give in to your intrusive thoughts.... It's the size you should have had from the start!

 

Hello and welcome!

I'm from Merrill, originally.
If you have any questions I might be able help.
If not, there's some pretty informative members floating around this thread.

 

We are mostly looking for good places to work. And if there are any parts of town we should avoid buying a house, be it for natural reasons or because of the people

 

Merrill is small. (10k pop?)
Great for outdoor activities, not great for any city life, shopping or variety.
We always went to Wausau for that. (a 20 min drive south).
Plenty of people that live in Merrill who work in Wausau.

Merrill's west side has been known as a loosely quoted 'rougher' part but it's Merrill. Things don't typically get rough there.

I'm not as familiar with Wausau.
It's pretty spread out. The east side of Wausau is a nicer area to live, or even Schofield. They're all connected.
Regardless, in either city, rural areas aren't far in any direction.

 

You misspelled Middle Michigan.

 

I like that Merrill is smaller. That's part of the appeal. I'm used to the small town vibe. Having a bigger town so near would be new to me. And I suppose a 20 minute commute wouldn't be the end of the world

 

You'll appreciate it! I live further north in Ashland and its 2 hours to anything of value.

 

Uh..... No sir.

 

There's certainly times that I miss it.
Like on Fridays. Every bar or establishment with a kitchen is frying up fish. lol
Tough to find a good fish fry in Eau Claire.
