What Made Milwaukee Famous

Gene and I took another trip to Milwaukee this summer, visiting some of our favorite places and some new places as well.
I took Gene to Miss Katie's Diner for some wet Milwaukee barbecue ribs and buttery hash browns. We celebrated my birthday in typical Milwaukee style with a vast intake of calories. We noted changes since our last visit two summers ago; Elliot's Bistro is gone and Von Trier's is just a shadow of its former self.
We got a kick out of the rumors of The Pfister Hotel's haunting. Hey, if it brings the room rates down, I'm all for it.
Check out my photos and journal of the first half of the week in Milwaukee.

Kia ora Katie,
Oh the memories. What about Hooligan's and Axel's? And what has happened to Von Triers, used to be a pretty classy joint. Happy holiday wishes to you and Gene.
Aroha,
Robb

I was happy to hear the owners of Hooligans purchased Von Trier's and are going to reopen it. The place is a museum and deserves to live on.
