Here’s a quick excerpt from the interview. * * * * * … Continue reading
John Hawks Pub in Milwaukee
Whenever I’ve got to Downtown Milwaukee to meet with my man Carlo at Marcus Theatres, we step downstairs to the John Hawks Brew Pub from some great English fair (or fish fry on the one Friday I was there). Love this place. Great food, great view of the river, espeecially if you sit out on … Continue reading
Monk’s Bar & Grill At The Wilderness & Downtown
Wisconsin Dells has a ton of great eateries to choose from, but none with as good of a bacon cheeseburger as Monks. I ate at both locations when shooting in the Dells. Even had a few beers at the Wilderness Resort location while watching a wall of sports, since I was staying at the Wilderness … Continue reading
Benvenuto’s Italian Grill in MIDDLETON
My good friends at the Wisco Hotel Group recently opened up a new Benvenuto’s Italian Grill in Middleton Wisconsin adjacent to the Wisco Hotel Group Holiday Inn & Suites (West Madison) and gave me the chance to test it out pre-opening night. Great food, reasonably priced, and a Wisconsin original chain of restaurants too (started in … Continue reading

Tim and Tom’s Cheese shop is located just outside of Kenosha, right off the freeway a few miles away from Mars Cheese Castle, but it’s a world of difference from the Castle filled with cheese because it also offers up an awesome variety of antiques and unique items for sale.

The Hideout: Al Capone’s Northwoods Retreat Photos
Several years ago I had a chance to got to Al Capone’s Northwoods Retreat with my brother and mother (before it closed down) and was able to get some photos of the place. It’s interesting to know that so much of the Chicago gang activity of the 1920’s had a sort of silent existence in … Continue reading

A Castle Of Cheese In Kenosha
If you are ever heading down Interstate 94 towards Chicago, you will see a giant Castle just off the freeway outside of Kenosha, a castle loaded with cheese. They’ve got an amazing variety of other items as well, and a loung-ish bar for beer and wine to boot. It’s a pretty cool place and our … Continue reading
Milwaukee’s Mitchell Park Domes: The Finally
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
