I enjoy beer – the flavor, the aroma, the color, the conversation, the friendship. I've enjoyed beer all of my adult life (assuming college counts). I plan to share experiences connected to beers that I enjoy. It could be the beer, the food or the overall ambiance. My tastes in beer generally lean towards the microbrews and brew pubs. New and different are interesting and enjoyable.
Mike Bie, a Green Bay native, grew up watching the Packers of the '70s and '80s. It left him deeply disturbed. Now he wanders the state, "just looking for a good fish fry." He blogs here exclusively, and maintains his own website, ClassicWisconsin.com
This Community was created for Wisconsinites to share in their travels, to post and review places of interest, and to help others when they are seized by wanderlust with no idea where to go. For a more comprehensive listing of the places I've explored go to my personal blog at WheretogoWisconsin.
I'm a cheese geek, but I didn't start out that way. Raised on Velveeta on a family farm in southwest Wisconsin, after college I worked as a journalist, a corporate project manager and as a communications specialist for state government. And then, lucky for readers everywhere, I discovered artisan cheese. Hallelujah! Today, as a freelance writer, one of the best jobs I have is blogging here about Wisconsin cheesemakers, giving cheese-starved readers everywhere the inside scoop about the state's oldest industry.
A love for sports and the media brought Bob Vorwald and David Stoeffler together nearly 35 years ago and it has kept them connected ever since. From humble beginnings producing a weekly radio show for WPRE in Prairie du Chien, Bob and David have gone on to careers in broadcast and print media, while always maintaining a passion for Wisconsin sports.Bob Vorwald is a Wisconsin native now living in exile in Chicago while serving as executive producer for sports at WGN-TV. He is a lifelong Packer and Badger fan who is still struggling to come to grips with the Brewers move to the National League and the resulting conflict with his beloved Chicago Cubs. David Stoeffler strayed from home to newspaper jobs in Nebraska, Iowa and other far-flung places, but has now returned to the fold, running a newspaper consulting business out of his home near Ferryville.

I see a completely different world when I look through the lens of my camera. Allow me to share my photos and commentary as I meander from facts and trivia about Wisconsin's natural beauty to places and events in Wisconsin - all worth a closer look.
I am a Wisconsin native, a graduate (in journalism) from the UW and, until November, a full-time newspaperman for more than 30 years. For the nearly 25 years that I worked at the Milwaukee Journal (and later the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel), I traveled Wisconsin to write stories and columns, avoiding the freeways whenever possible. My wife and I live on the shore of Lake Superior in northern Wisconsin for a bit more than half the year but head south -- to Madison, where the lure of Badger basketball is irresistible -- for the winter.
Read posts about food and cooking from foodie-about-town Deb Shapiro. Deb thought she'd be an artist while she was growing up, but ended up graduating college in 1977 with a BA in art history - the perfect preparation for years of working in a whole slew of restaurants in Madison. Real fast she realized that her cooking said more to people than her artwork and 30 years later she's still cooking, and now writing about it.
