Anything I Should Do in Milwaukee?
I'm flying up there in a few weeks for a long weekend, and I'm looking for some ideas. I thought about heading up to the naval museum in Manitowac (sp?), and I'll probably do some letterboxing, and maybe a little skiing. Are there any "must-do" things in that area? I've been to Green Bay before, but never Milwaukee.

It looks very interesting.

Everybody has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film.

I have a friend who does it too. Since she told me about it, I've been interested in giving it a whirl myself. She's also one of those rare sorts that still sends real letters, by regular mail!!MarkB wrote:Letterboxing:

Letterboxing is a lot of fun. It's cheap, challenging, and gets you to look at otherwise normal places in a new light. One box I looked for was right smack dab in the middle of a big sidewalk at The Ohio State University. Hundreds of thousands of people have walked right by and and had no clue it was there.

- Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

In Milwaukee, Kopps has THE best frozen custard. In the spring or summer, there is a park near the lake that's considered one of the ten best places to fly a kite in the country. The zoo is nice. Drive down Lakeshore Blvd. and look at the houses.
Kudos for the correct method of saying The Ohio State University.

Not only am I OSU alumni, but my degree is in English; it's expressly forbidden for someone in my position to NOT refer to it correctly. WHY they have that stupid rule, however, is beyond me.FJohnSharp wrote:Kudos for the correct method of saying The Ohio State University.

Yes, I'm Brian's student. I've only had one lesson so far, but it was very productive. I'm much better at legato, and I brace with my pinkie instead of my ring finger.

I don't know if you like German food, but there is a fabulous German restaurant downtown. Now, if I could just remember the name of it . . . (I'll write back when it comes to me.)
