Actually, I'd like to tell Wallethub, "No duh!" Mid-western's, especially Wisconsin-ites, know this. "We don't need no 'stinkin' list." Am I right? However, it's awesome to be recognized.
The weirdest place on the list at number 20 is New Orleans. I guess I just see that being more French and German. BUT.. hey we know the Cajuns know how to do it up for Mardi Gras, so I'm betting Oktoberfest is just as great!
