Governor Scott Walker Admits To Being A Cheesehead
I had the pleasure of interviewing Governor Scott Walker for the documentary. He was a congenial man with a good sense of humor and a great addition to the documentary. What I was most impressed with, besides his love of the Packers, was a great story he told about the history of beer and cheese … Continue reading
Milwaukee Center, The Pabst Theatre & Milwaukee Rep
The Milwaukee Center is quite an amazing place to visit. Located just across from city hall, this is where we were at for the Lombardi play opening night last November. It has a lot of other cool elements including the Milwaukee Repetory Theater and the legendary Pabst Theatre. Plus right across the stree, hidden in … 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
Wisconsin Cheese Mart In Milwaukee
Wisconsin Cheese Mart in Milwaukee (just down the street from Usingers) is the kind of cheese shop that John Cleese would be more than welcomed to visit since they have nearly every kind of cheese he could possibly list off. Not only that, most of the cheeses here are many of the Wisconsin originals made … Continue reading

While that’s not quite in line with sports fan preferences, … Continue reading
Usingers Sausages: Famous For A Reason
While some of these photos are from last fall when we visited Usingers Famous Sausages, we also had the cahnce to try some more of it this weekend when first arriving in Milwaukee and it’s pretty clear that they know what they are doing. My personal favorite was the smoked Canadian Bacon (had no idea … Continue reading
Seymour Wisconsin: The Original Home Of The Hamburger

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). Even so, it retains all the luster and charm of the … Continue reading
All Good Things… A Packers Season Recap In Fan Photos
There’s really not that much to say about the loss in the playoffs this past weekend, certainly nothing that hundreds of other sports reporters and newscasters haven’t already speculated on or blabbed about so we’re not even going to try. And even with the record-breaking season for wins, points, Rodgers, and more, we’d like to … Continue reading
