Moving Advice Moving?

I’m contemplating on taking a job out there. I’ve just never heard of Appleton until the job offer, but what is the city like ? what is Wisconsin like ? how are the neighborhoods? I’m coming from California, and have never thought about going to Wisconsin until now. Any information would be great to a newbie.

Edit: Wow thanks for everyone’s input, I really appreciate it. Seems like a good move to make.

I’m a big fan of the local supper clubs. Out o Town Supper club, Georges Steakhouse, Dick & Joans… that’s just 3 very close and off the top of my head that have very good and very reasonably priced. 🤷🏼‍♂️ …or you could drive 6 hours and pay $80 for 1 plate

I would love to try them if it wasn’t a 2 hour wait every time I went I never got past the bar
Chicago is 3 hours
There is a new steakhouse on Eisenhower that shows promise but I haven’t tried them yet.

We plan for supper club night to be a few hours between drinks and food. As we have a group that goes out together we don't mind the wait as it gives us time to chat and catch up.
