Tuesday, April 29. 2008Wednesday, April 9. 2008Secret rooms...This article at Freshome reminds me of old Scooby Doo movies with hidden passages and revolving bookcases. Very cool. I did not know that there were companies that do this kind of stuff for real but there are. I can see something like this being valuable in high end homes - providing a very secret place to hide the bags of money and other valuables. Have you ever seen something like this is a home in Wisconsin? Thanks to Athol Kay's Connecticutt Real Estate Agent blog for pointing it out. Tuesday, April 8. 2008Eagle, Wisconsin starts each day with a smile. Photo Credit: Rick Wood, Journal Sentinel Eagle is the only town that I know of that has a smiley face on their water tower... shows a little sense of humor and an insight into what it is like to live there. The Town of Eagle is one of the smallest towns in metro Milwaukee, yet growing as all our outlying areas are. Eagle was featured recently in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and they interviewed several people as they toured the town for their opinions. Read the whole article here in the Journal Sentinel. There are currently 40 single family homes for sale in Eagle. The lowest price is a 2BR, 1 BA home for $116,500 and the most expensive a $2,900,000 lake home with 4BR and 4BA. Quite the range!

Friday, February 1. 2008Thursday, January 31. 2008Wednesday, December 19. 2007Milwaukee, Wisconsin ranks with the big boys for fun!Did you know Milwaukee, Wisconsin ranks as number 14 in a Bizjournals.com survey about America's Fun Cities? That's an honor. You know, you get used to what is in your own backyard. Think of Summerfest for example. The largest music festival around. Yet, so many of us take it for granted and complain about the prices and the crowds. So we don't go. O Milwaukee ranked overal as number 14. In the category of Shopping, Milwaukee, Wisconsin ranked 40 (Boston was number 1, Pittsburg number 2.) In the category of Food and Drink, Milwaukee, Wisconsin ranked 10! We do have great restaurants and drink - and well, we have more than our share of pubs and bars. (New York City was number 1, San Francisco is number 2) In the category of Culture, Milwaukee, Wisconsin again ranked high at number 14. I am not aware of any other city that has all the ethnic festivals we do. (New York number 1, San Francisco number 2) As for popular entertainment, Milwaukee, Wisconsin ranked 43. (Los Angeles was number 1, New York City, number 2) Gambling... Of course, Las Vagas was number 1. New Orleans was number 2. Milwaukee, Wisconsin came in at 32 which is a little surprising. Buffalo (29), Portland (17), Baltimore (15), Pittsburg (21 and Miami (19) all ranked higher for gambling. Next category is Low Impact sports such as golf, bowling alleys etc. Milwaukee ranked 14 beating out Los Angeles (31), San Francisco (28), Las Vegas (48) and Denver (45).. Boston was number 1. In High Impact sports which includes skiing and fitness centers, Milwaukee again ranked high at 10 beating Denver (25) and Portland (12). Boston was number 1. Not bad, Milwaukee Wisconsin!
