<< <i>Not true about the pizza. Some of the best pizza I've ever eaten was served @ Gargano's in Madison. >>
As I said about Buffalo wings on another board. They don't necessarily have to be the best, they just need to be good. The best is a relative thing anyway.
Uff-da, time for the lutefisk and lefse. Just the thought of the aroma of lutefisk brings back the memories of Wisconsin. All good. Get some long underwear, deep woods off, tip-ups, an orange hunting outfit, ice shantee, snow mobile, a 12 gauge, bow and arrow, a spear for sturgeon spearing a good PO for your coins (so the whole town does not know what you do) and you will be just fine. Cripes hey.
In Wisconsin, the church to tavern ratio runs about equal, but the taverns have most of the traffic because they have location, location (corners) Fish fry's on a Friday night is a ritual and draft beer flows like tap water. Just belly up to the bar, slap half a saw buck down and you'll soon have a coaster and a beer in front of you. Don't worry about the change because all bar tenders in Wisconsin are honest. At night, look for northern lights (rainbow skies) and dream of toned coins.
Tell your lady friend we are all pulling for her. The low humidity and cool nights will do her well.

Do you know why Wisconsin has the two good quarters? . Because the Packers always suck in the second half!!!!! . . . GO BEARS!!!! TD >>
Well, Da Bears aint zackly bin ennything to write home about the last few years. To me they are a bizzness and nuttin else. Ah caint see how others can get SO wurkt up over sumwun else's bizzness. Frankly iffn you sold a counterfeit coin for every play they screwed up, you'd a bin in prizzun years ago. That being said, this thread izz wuthless without pix. >>
Ehhh, go boil yer fish, you Baja Yooper!!!!!!!

You've obvously been to Lake Church, which is north of Port Washington, east of Belgium, where the Church to Tavern ratio has always been 1:1. Not to mention its only a half mile to Harrington Beach State Park, with a mile of white sand beach and a quarry, which I used to rope dive into as a kid.
My ancestors (William Smith and Sons) are burried a half mile norrh of there in the town of Amsterdam. Lots of family history including the "Smith Bros. Fisheries" of Port Washington, where the Church to tavern ratio is less than 1.

I have friends in Chicago that regularly go to Iowa for Pizza, saying it's way better than the Chicago pizza. I've had both and don't see alot of difference..
The cold weather is something that you get used to, and there is no more lovely place than Wisconsin in summer.

I live in southern IL and get the best of both worlds. 10 degrees, snow and ice in the winter and 100 degrees with high humidity and swarming bugs in the summer and I tell you I would take the heat and humidity 12 months a year over the cold any day. After a couple months the cold, clouds and dull dead landscape gets depressing. >>
That's why the Lord supplies the snow and ice, to pretty things up a bit. The cold weather also makes coffee, chili, heck any food, and a good book so much more enjoyable.

Well tonight is the night. Leaving around 3am. Thanks to everyone who shared well wishes and info on the area. I will be in contact with everyone who PM'd me about coin info in the area once I am settled in and on the prowl for newps. I plan on attending the coin show in Duluth MN which will be about an hour and a half waway in september. I will be the big tall guy with the Yankees cap. Thanks again.
I guess if you cross the state line into Minnesota, you'll be fine wearing the Yankee's ball cap, but them Twins fans might get a tad excited. I say this, because the fan base for the Brewers only extends from Green Bay down through Madison, the rest of Wisconsin has no idea there's even a ball club in Milwaukee.
