    Haven’t eaten a Sobleman’s burger since he came out against MKE streetcar, which is too bad as it could’ve someday further improved and or justified those Walk and Transit scores

    Their Bloody Marys are just stupid. I will be so glad when this fad passes and its safe for adults to order one again.

    We used to go to The Ranch House Tavern to cash our checks when I worked at American Can Co. on 13th. St. in 1979. there was so much cash that was flowing through that place, I knew it would get robbed eventually. So I wasn’t surprised that it got hit a few years later. Zaffiro chased the robbers outside, and was gunned down.
