Colby From Colby Is The Best Colby
It was a dreary day when I went to Colby, but it is the birthplace of Colby cheese, so it deserves some props. Colby is always best when it is Longhorn style (in my opinion). The town, a quant little village in the middle of the state, was cozy and pleasant, with reminders here and … Read more

City Brewery – The Private Label King Of La Crosse
La Crosse is home to City Brewery, which is home to the worlds largest six pack (see photos), a line mentioned in an episode of “House” during it’s last season (any mention of Wisconsin on TV catches my attention). Interesting thing about City Brewery is that they make a boat load of private label beers … Read more

Rna across several photos of random Wisconsin Cheese Things that actually have on a smidgen to do with cheese and thought it would be fun to share. Seems like we’ll put the word CHEESE on nearly anything to get people’s attention, and probably because it works. After all, I took these photos didn’t I… * … Read more
Ella’s Deli & Ice Cream Parlor – Past, Present & Fantasy

So many things from the past and present on display, yet … Read more
Does That Make It His Eleventy-Squaredth Birthday? (Humor)
Since Wisconsin does have an intimate and direct connection with Tolkien, Lord Of The Rings, and The Hobbit, that being the original manuscripts are permenantly archived at Marquette University, it only seems fitting to re-post this rather humorous page from a fellow Cheesehead who’s site is well worth checking out for his sense of humor … Read more
Rose Bowl 2013 – Bummer Loss, But Lots Of Fun
While it was a bummer loss (for the third year in a row) at the Rose Bowl, Cheesehead Nation still had a great deal of fun per usual. One major note of interest is that our buddy Steve (famous for his “Eat Cheese Or Die” poster at the Rose Bowl) got onto ESPN at the … Read more
Genuine Wisconsin Cheese Curds Imported For Rose Bowl
While imported may be the worst use of the word. since both Claifornia and Wisconin are part of the United States, it does imply that our Wisconsin cheese is so good that it feels as though it should be an import. Good to see out buddies at Ellsworth getting some national media attention. Here’s a … Read more

An Upside Down White House In Wisconsin Dells
The upside down alien attacked White House in Wisconsin Dells looks even more creepy when you shoot it at night when no one is around (see video). It’s like it really happened, and with Halloween upon us, it has all the luster of a haunted house. Creepy and cool all the same. * * * … Read more
Amazing Clouds Over Cameron
This is a clip I shot last May in Cameron (Barron County) when the clouds and sun were working in perfect harmony to give a heck of natural light show. I’ve learned while making this documentary that when Wisconsin weather shows you something, you gotta pull over and shoot or it will be gone all … Read more
If Frank Lloyd Wright Had Designed A Cheese Haus…
If Frank Lloyd Wright had designed a Cheese Haus it would have been Foster Cheese Haus in Osseo (just south of Eau Claire off of I94). They have some amazing cool Wisconsin Cheese as well, including bacon infused cheese curds like I’ve not seen anywhere else. Not only do they have great Wisconsin Cheese, but … Read more
