Actually it's I-94 and Wisconsin 50, just a couple of miles north of the
border. I haven't been there in probably 25 years but we started eating
there in the '60s. Hwy 50 is the route we took to Camp Lake where we had a
home on the lake.

Just for fun I Goggled it, low and behold, it's still there after 46 years.

Three things I miss since leaving Chicago area are brats, good pizza and
Italian beef sandwiches.

If you do stop there, have a couple for me.

Thanks, I saved it. You've given me the idea to go to Kenosha
and maybe visit the waterfront. Real quick trip compared to going out
on I-90 to see farms.
You got that right about pizza and Italian beef. I hardly ate brats
until I moved to the suburbs. 'Cause I can't find decent pizza or
Italian beef nearby!

I miss fresh from the farm brats.

MMMMMM.....

When I was a kid, my maternal Grandfather used to take me to the
Braves games at the old Milwaukee County Stadium - we used to sit in
the bleachers at the Old Soldier's Home which overlooked Right Field.
There was a WWI vet there who would cook up brats he got from a farmer
out in Troy Center and hand them out to the other vets and their
grandkids. He'd make up a veggie mix to go with them - sort of a stir
fry, just a tad different.

Good times man, good times.

I sorely miss good Midwestern food. I can't even find decent raw materials
down here in Florida.
