City of Milwaukee.
Or 25min drive.

I've been an office guy, but I'm very flexible on what's next.

Has anyone in Milwaukee been to the Christkindlmarkt at Fiserv yet? Does it have any comparison to the Chicago market? Trying to figure out if I want to drive there from Madison when I'm home over Thanksgiving. Don't want to do so for just a few booths, so trying to get a sense of how it compares to Chicago.

Heading to Nashville for the weekend to celebrate my 40th. If anyone has suggestions beyond "Hot Chicken" and "Live Music" I'd love to hear them!

If you like craft beer that is.

I've been there a few times, most recently in March. Fun city but growing rapidly. If the Preds are playing Broadway will be insanely crowded. Lots of good BBQ places around town. Jack Daniels is about an hour south, good tour. I'm not a country music fan but Broadway is a fun place.

I'd recommend one of the (many, many) rooftop bars. Not sure what the weather will be like there right now, but they tend to have great views of the river, batman building, etc.

The live music starts in the morning in most of the bars. And many play in multiple bands.

Agree with the rooftop suggestion. Looks like the Preds play home Sunday night.

Throw away your romaine lettuce, people.

The Christmas thing at fiserv was not worth a special trip imo

Just what everyone wants, Christmas before Thanksgiving.

That's what I heard too. If you happen to be down there for a game/event fine but don't go downtown just for that. Supposedly it will be expanded next year when the entertainment area is more developed.

The thing is though, the beer garden with the huge outdoor screen in the pedestrian mall is pretty dope.

So many possibilities there. Derby party for days.

Got to Nashville. Hit Yazoo and Jackalope breweries. Gonna be a good weekend. Bucks up 22.

Heading back to MKE for the first time since the streetcar started up. I see one already broke down today...

Does it get “full” on the weekends to the point where you have to wait for the next one?

Post #1579 » by **MickeyDavis** » Thu Nov 22, 2018 2:56 am

I don't think it gets full but its had a lot of people using it.

So my wife is really crafty, she has a lot of different crafting machines already but she was mentioning how she would like to get into screen printing. I have no experience whatsoever in screen printing I'm not looking to spend a fortune since I already have spent quite a bit on presents already but does anyone have any suggestions on a good reasonably priced startup kit for screen printing? Thanks in advance
