Not to jack the OP's thread too much, but it already sorta went there. Long time lurker but wanted to ask the same about living in WI and being based out of ORD. Wife and I are both from Milwaukee area and being back by family is a serious consideration as we start having kiddos and I'm out of the Navy.

Looking specifically at Wauwatosa and making the drive down I-94. Is that reasonable? Where else in SE WI are people living and making the drive into ORD?
