Hi all,

I was wondering what is the best (and friendliest) city to live in for someone who is not a native of the state. I am a canadian from Montreal, french is my first language but I speak english pretty well and it can only get better and I don't think I have a big accent like most Quebecers do. I love the US and its history and am a big Packers and Favre fan and watch american shows and don't like Hokcey and I don't say eh. : )

I have a desire to blend in and be implicated like normal people. However the move is not for now but maybe in 3-5 years. I am white, 24, single. I always loved the pleasant prairie area because it is between Chicago and Milwaukee. However, is it a proper place because I read that people in the Kenosha area don't like newcomers and keep to themselves? If someone tells me not to go there, I would like to have a suggestion. And I'm not interested in Madison, its a beautiful college town but not in my choices. Also I don't like a city that is too big or really too small, a normal suburb (12-50 000).

As far as the work is concerned, I work in IT (non-programmer) for the moment so I could be eligible for the nafta visa but I don't want to go in these details because I am studying in businesss administration for the moment and like I said I am not moving soon.

I know its a comedy and I know it take place in the 70s culture and it contains a lot of stereotypes but is the neighbour relations depicted in That 70s show accurate? Neighbours talk to each other etc.

Sorry for the bunch of questions, I never ask simple things : ) Sorry for everybody about Favre, I thought he would play another year and wanted to go see him play at Lambeau.

Grab onto a smaller town outside the bigger city's and be no problem.Country folks still talk to neighbors and such and friendly.Northern Wisconsin we are told have canadian accent so fit in anyway,but with Quebec accent may be noticed. Coming from the north is not as big a problem as those from the southern boarder moving in illegally..Find Wisconsinites are all pretty friendly and easy to get along with.
