It was good to get away for awhile. Don’t hear of many people taking urban escapes from the country, but got to tell you it was just what the doctor ordered. Holli and I took some time in “Cream City” (still don’t know why that’s it’s nickname…but whatever), but it was great just getting to see the sights, the people, and just the experience of Mikwaukee…which I must say is one pretty cool city. Checked out the “Titanic” Exhibit at the Milwaukee Museum…worth the trip…amazing to see stuff from the wreckage. And yes, no urban retreat would be complete without touring all the local Starbucks…a little piece of heaven I must say. By the way, thanks to so many of you who wished me Happy Birthday…especially want to thank Von & Sally for the massive 40oz bag of coffee…sweet!
Milwaukee at Night
The origin of Cream City comes from clay found in Milwaukee. The clay is used to make yellowish, cream-ish colored bricks. Hence the Nickname.
It is possible that they are just huge fans of Clapton’s early work, though.
