The Tripoli Shrine Center In Milwaukee
I took these shots on a snowy, gloomy day, so they don’t even come close to the dazzling nature of the Tripoli Shrine Center in Milwaukee. Didn’t get a chance to go inside, which I hear is even more astounding, but will get around to that next time in Milwaukee. From the Tripoli Shrine Center … Continue reading
The Best Beer Beef Stick Ever
While I’m feverishly editing my way towards the end of the documentary, I keep going through archives to find needed pictures, and every day I keep finding fun ones that had slipped my mind previously. Here’s a great place in Racine, kind of hidden if you’re not looking for it, called Brossman’s Meats and they … Continue reading
A Cheese House With Cows Outside
Happened to stop in, per my usual whenever I spot a cheese shop while traveling Wisconsin, and found the quant Colonial Cheese House in Wautoma. Hard to miss what with the beautiful ceramic cows out front. Of course what I really dug about the place, besides the cheese, was the Cheesehead memorabilia for sale, including … Continue reading

Wildlife On The Fox River
These lovely birds didn’t even mind that I came up to them and started taking their photos. Fact is, I was the intruder and they were cool with that. FYI, this was on the Fox River in Appleton, down near the hydro-electric plant and railroad track on the far side of Riverside drive. * * … Continue reading
Some Fun Shots Of Sheboygan

Well anyone who lives there, I suppose, but there’s a lot of great manufacturing out of the sleepy coastal town (a couple of examples below). We also had the great pleasure of interviewing the troup putting … Continue reading

Also recorded in this book are the regional … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading

Manitowoc On A Foggy Day
Manitowoc, home of the Marine Musuem and Sputnikfest 2013. For those not in the know, a chunck of one of the Sputnik satellites crashed down in the middle of one of the streets (it was about the sixe of a softball, no one got hurt), and since then the locals have, as we do all over … Continue reading
