Actually, the Riverwest Filling Station is in Milwaukee Police District 5.
I did not see the humor in the comment about the girlfriend and the wife.
I feel your pain, Janet. The girlfriend and the wife” remark was probably funnier in the early 60’s “Madmen” days than it is today. I also wonder about the source of the gag about having to drag the musicians from the bar. I have seen live, acoustic music there a # of times. I have not seen musicians dragged from the bar to perform.
The above caveats notwithstanding, I appreciated Horne’s historical and architectural story on a restaurant/bar that I like a lot.
The wait staff are especially personable at this establishment. The food and the drinks are very good there, too.
