Milwaukee Magazine's Best of the 'Burbs

For an upcoming issue of the magazine, we're highlighting the best of the Milwaukee metro area's suburbs, and we're handing you the keys. So kindly answer the following questions for the suburb in which you reside. Your answer may just make it into the magazine and/or you could win one of a few awesome prizes. 

Feel free to send this survey to your neighbors, cousins, coworkers, parents or kids. We want as many responses as possible to help us provide a more complete, and diverse, picture of what makes your suburb great.
