HEAR ME OUT DEAR RUTHIE | SPONSORED BY UW CREDIT UNION
MILWAUKEE: SHOULD I STAY, OR SHOULD I GO? The happiest time of the year is just around the corner, and when it comes to having a happy time, Milwaukee is loaded with options. From theater and shows to gallery-, shop- and bar-hopping, you’ll always find cool-weather fun in Cream City. And speaking of Cream City, let’s read a letter from a lovely but lonely lady who thinks Milwaukee might be the source of the problems in her life.
DEAR RUTHIE, I’m a 61-year-old woman who lived in Milwaukee her entire life. I thought I loved this city, but I have little to show for living here. I’m not married and have no children. The job I held for 33 years downsized me out. I rent; I don’t own. I can’t imagine moving at this age, but this city doesn’t hold anything for me. Call me a bitch, but I’m thinking it’s time to leave Milwaukee and search for greener pastures.
TOO LATE TO TEACH THIS OLD DOG NEW TRICKS?
Lonely Laura DEAR LONELY,
You’re never too old for a new adventure. After all, 60 is the new 40...or so says 70-year-olds. Milwaukee doesn’t owe you anything, sugar, and certainly not a hubby or babies. You decided to make this your home, and if you think it’s time to move on, then go for it! Cream City will always be here if things don’t work elsewhere. Just remember, your happiness is up to you...not up to the city where you hang your hat.
XXOO
