Martha Merrell’s Is A Marvel
Martha Merrell’s Bookstore in downtown Waukesha is truly a marvel of tenacity in spite of the online order craze most bookstores have faced over the past decade or so.

Where Manhole Covers Go To Be Born…
Okay, so the title is silly, but there’s really only one place in the United States that makes manhole covers for pretty much everyone all around the country, and that’s the Neenah Foundry in Neenah.

Goodbye My Texan Cheesehead Friend
To All, Our “Cheeseheads: The Documentary” Co-Producer, and one of my closest friends Craig Miller decided not to wake up on the morning of November 7th 2012 (he died in his sleep, but I’m trying to be humorous about it like he would expect of me), so I’m a bit down for the time being. … Continue reading
The Painted Steers Of New Glarus…
When visiting New Glarus Brewery a while back (photos of the brewery coming soon), it was evident thay they love their steers, likely because of the Swiss heritage the town relishes, being known as Little Switzerland.

Turns out they make a heck of a lot more than cheese crates and boxes. Check out the photos below and if you are interested in getting … Continue reading
Rhinelander’s County Fair: It’s Good In The Northwoods
We went by the Rhinelander County Fair last week in order to see how the Northwoods people do it, and they certainly do it their own way. It was like being in the woods, but with ferris wheels and carnival games, and of course Hodag’s hiding in the trees (more on that later). It was … Continue reading
Packerpalooza – May 1st At Will’s Northwoods Inn In Chicago
