The Old World Charm Of La Crosse
Had another chance to visit La Crosse a while back and discovered a terrific downtown with lots of old world charm. Many of the buildings here where built in the late 1800’s but have been kept up or rennovated to keep their appeal. Another great thing about La Crosse is that it is located where … Continue reading

There’s Something Fascinating About Old Buildings
When driving around Kenosha last fall we ran past his old industrial factory that begged to be photographed. While no longer in use as a factory, it is still used by local businesses for office space and storage (now called the Clock Tower Place).

Classic Meets Modern At The Milwaukee Public Market
The Milwaukee Public Market is not what one might expect on first glance. Somewhat hidden under an overpass and series of bridges in downtown Milwaukee, you have to know where you are going to find it.
