Nobody said Milwaukee is known for its sunny beaches and amusement parks. The point is that you don't go walking around saying one of your central hubs and soon-to-be major sources of income is full of chumps who enjoy cookies.
It doesn't matter if MKE constantly smells like rotten eggs and you get kicked in the nuts every time you step off the airplane. In his position you gotta market your main destinations and hubs. Midwest was all about the home town pride and now the CEO is on record berating it as a 3rd rate city. That's not being honest, it's being stupid.
