I had posted about the Mitchell Park Domes a couple of times prior but realize that interior shots of the place where never posted.  Since the topic has been covered in words, just enjoy the pictures this time around. * * * * * *

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

Downtown Racine: Where Old Meets New Meets Old

Bombers, Beers, Burgers & A Really Big Chair

Just happened across these photos again of Bomber’s in Milwaukee last fall, most well know for their Bomber’s Burger that was featured on the Food Wars last summer.  I also wonder if the place might have been named after the Mitchell B-25 Bomber, since General Billy Mitchell was from Milwaukee and his presence is see … Continue reading

Seymour Wisconsin: The Original Home Of The Hamburger

In case you didn’t know it, the hamburger originated in Wisconsin and is now, much like the Green Bay Packers are to football, one of the most famous food items in the world.  We’ll be covering that fact in the documentary.  In the meantime, the below statement is the official Wisconsin state legislation statement declaring … Continue reading

Lexxy Cow At The Wisconsin Capital Building

Last fall after we had the opportunity to interview Mayor Soglin of Madison for the documentary, our traveling companion mascot Lexxy decided she must have her picture taken at the state capital building, so that’s exactly what we did.  She also had to posh it up in our Avis Budget rental for the sake of … Continue reading
