There are still farms in Oak Creek. There are also not only county parks but city parks.

The City of Oak Creek also proudly shows a “Tree City USA” flag from the National Arbor Day Foundation at the City Hall. Oak Creek has a boat ramp on the coast of Lake Michigan.

I noticed a sign that said that on the window of one of the more interesting buildings in the Pabst brewery area a couple years ago. The original Pabst Brewery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin close years ago but now you can have a tour of the original office building. It’s a great history lesson and an interesting look into the past of beer and Milwaukee. You can find out more at the link below.

Why do I like Esther’s European Imports?

My wife and the Swiss Cow outside Esther’s European Imports

Because all my life I wanted a Victorinox Swiss Champ Swiss Army Knife and they have a large selection of them. The also have the little parts like the toothpicks and tweezers to replace the ones in your knife that get lost. I can’t think of a better, more Swiss place to buy a Swiss Army knife.

A child walking down the streets of downtown Roxboro where he had lived most of my life. There was a store that specialized in just about anything you needed. Whether it was Massey’s shoe store, Gip’s Electric Appliance and Gun shop,…

I’ve gone around looking for the best Christmas lights in the Milwaukee area and taken some photos to help guide you. This list also takes into account that “Christmas feeling” each has. To me, one of the leading spots didn’t actually have the most impressive lights. It did have a wonderful feeling and if I were taking my kids out on a Christmas celebration, I think it has a whole lot more going for it than some that had more impressive lights. I think that’s important. Looking at lights is fun but if some places can create a lasting memory that has more than just lights, I think that might be just as important.

Just a thought!.

Maybe it’s because it is so close to Green Bay and the Packers. Maybe it is popular because the area is so beautiful. Perhaps, because it offers a great getaway and is still not too far from Milwaukee (or even Illinois).

The fun in Door County does not stop with the arrival of cooler weather.Those bike trails turn into cross country ski trails during the winter. There is also snowshoeing to be done.There are a large number of marked snowmobile trials. Wisconsin is one of the few places youll see marked snowmobile signs on roads.Finally, there is deer hunting season. Im not a deer hunter, but living in Wisconsin, Ive know a lot of hunters that head up to Door County every year for deer season. I’ve seen several places offering hunting and fishing licenses along the highways. Deer season is probably not a good time to go to Door County hike obviously.

The smell of chocolate. The Cheese and Chocolate Haus is also very typical of the Swiss styled buildings that make New Glarus such a wonderful place to visit.

What I would have recommended to you with confidence 3-4 years ago, would be a terrible idea in today’s environment. Only the most complex password recommendations from a few years ago still stand today. Chances are you need to change some of your passwords even if you think you chose good ones for them a few years ago. I know I personally have had to change mine.

New Glarus Wisconsin is a fantastic place to visit. Christmas is a wonderful time to visit but nearly anytime of year can feel a bit like Christmas there.

New Glarus calls itself “America’s Little Switzerland.”

A title which is well deserved. The Swiss Chalet styled buildings with Christmas lights (some of these lights are used year round) really give New Glarus the character of a Swiss village (at least what many Americans would think resembles a Swiss village).
