Moose Jaw Pizza & Brewing In Wisconsin Dells
While staying at The Wilderness Resort in Wisconsin Dells a while back we encountered a car driving around town that had a moose on top of it. Not a real moose mind you as you might have to be in the Northwoods of Wisconsin to see that, but a prop moose. Wanting to know what … Continue reading
Chateau St. Croix & The Cheesehead White Wine
In honor of the New Year we thought it only fitting to talk about one of Wisconsin’s lesser known attractions, its wineries. Just like the breweries all over the state, micro-wineries have become quite popular and prosperous for embracing the cheesehead culture as part of what they are all about. We had the pleasure of … Continue reading
Janesville On A Rainy Day…
On a follow up visit to Janesville after the Lombardi Dedication night event we encountered a bit of September rain and it made for a beautiful day. Janesville is such a sleepy town despite it size, with pleasant neighborhoods, and a gorgeous riverfront. The pictures tell the story much better than we can so we’ll … Continue reading
The Bodega Brew Pub In La Crosse
While taking a day trip to La Crosse to check out what was there, we happened upon the Bodega Brew Pub in Historic Downtown.

In The Midst Of Tranquility – Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin (Interiors)
As a follow up to yesterday’s Taliesin posting that included exterior shots, today we are revealing some terrific shots of the interior rooms of the Taliesin estate.

In The Midst Of Tranquility – Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin (Exteriors)
With the blessing of the Frank Lloyd Wright foundation, we had the distinct pleasure of visting and filming at Taliesin back in August that included a splendid sit down interview with Wright historian Karen Murphy. Fascinated as we have always been about Wright’s architectural brilliance, we had no idea that what we were entering that … Continue reading
