We've been doing Greendale Village Days for years. This one marks their 85th Anniversary, and it…read morewas spectacular! One of the things we loved on Saturday was that they had nickel games. Nickel games!!!! This would be welcome anytime they've got a fair going on, really. The games were fun, challenging, affordable, and had so many neat toys for the kids to win. They were similar to carnival games or fair games, but at a fraction of the cost, of course. If you needed to brush up on some games for state fairs, this would be your time :D Getting the ride pass for the whole weekend was a steal because in this weather, it's easy to just go back over and over. Plenty of great food from local restaurants as well as food trucks; seriously, you can't walk away hungry, and if you do, you've missed out. The walking taco, grilled cheese, pizza, ribs, brats, Eagle Park beer selections, soft pretzels, and wine tent. It's easy to head out and find all sorts of shops to visit while you're enjoying the music and weather. The bands are great, and there's always plenty of room for dancing. The crowds come and go, so you have a good chance of snagging a decent parking spot if you make it in at the right time. Bring the family, plan on spending time relaxing and enjoying what the Village of Greendale has to offer!

Greendale.......such an odd community, and much bigger than it appears! Its approximate boundaries…read moreare 92nd street on the west, Root River Parkway where it crosses Loomis/36 on the south, 43rd street on the east and Edgerton on the north. There are teeny, tiny houses crowded together on one lane streets and then there is South Ridge Mall. That's right, South Ridge is in Greendale, NOT Greenfield! The mini-mall where Bed, Bath and Beyond is, IS in Greendale. Greenfield Fashion Center, home to Half Price Books and Jo-Ann Fabric is NOT. Most of the other Greendale neighborhoods are "normal", it's just the one around the downtown area where the houses are lined up like cans on a grocery store shelf with a narrow one lane street to access them. These homes are why Greendale is called a village. So, the village.... it's home to some cute stores, a malt shoppe, a couple of restaurants, a couple of hair salons, a middle school, a nice bakery, a library and the village hall, among other things. Tucked behind the shops on the east side of the main street, aka Broadway, is a small park. At the southern end is Greendale High School. There is even an industrial loop, but you can only access it from Loomis, near the Steakout. Speaking of the Steakout, I hear it's a pretty decent place to eat; it even has 4 Yelptastic stars! Ray and Dot's Tap is located on Grange and I've been told it's a pretty neat place to get a drink; 4 1/2 Yelpy stars! Pretty much anything else you could want is located on 76th, right in or near the mall, so take a day and explore the area. You'll like it! 28/2016

Ever since I was a little kid riding my bike around Bay View, the Pryor Avenue Iron Well was the…read moreplace to go for ice cold water with a hint of Iron flavor for a water bottle. In 1882 the well started pumping water at a depth of 1500 feet and has been doing so ever since. It is called the Iron well because the water has a lot of iron - you can taste it! So, all you vegans and vegetarians go get some now! This is an artesian well baby! The old timers would come fill up gallons for the home and they would often share stories of how the water would cure your ills if you had any. It has been pumping water for the Bay View area for a long time, and there are still people who come from all around the south side to fill water jugs alongside bicycle riders who also come to fill up and cool off. Now, there are two spigots and they prefer the folks who are filling up jugs, and you are not supposed to use a hose, and I think you can fill a 5 gallon jug easily without it, but I have seen old timers break the rules! Yep! I did! You don't know Bay View till you have tried the water or had a seat on one of the benches provided by the Bay View Garden And Yard Society and talked to the people who swear by the water that bubbles (in Milwaukee water "bubbles" out of "bubblers" ya know!) out of the old iron well. I am sure that if there are Hobbits and Wizards in Bay View, they come here for sure. The water tastes a little or a lot like iron, and I used to dislike it when I was a kid, but I feel healthy drinking it now. The Health Department checks it out to make sure it is healthy, and when Crypto hit back in the day (wow, that sucked!) everyone came here to get water that wouldn't make you - um well forget it. I listed this in Local Flavor, but the Pryor Ave Iron Well is more of a historical landmark in Milwaukee.

Plentiful parking and short security lines got us onto the tarmac quickly. Once on the tarmac, be prepared to wait a long to time to see cockpits. For example, we waited over 90 minutes just to catch a glimpse of the C17. They were so backed up that once we got inside, they told us we had to keep moving. That was clearly not the messaged relayed early in the day. Looking around, those types of lines were similar at the other planes. We quickly moved on to see the fighter jets and helicopters before closing.

I found https://www.waukeshacounty.gov/parks-and-land-use/land-resources-division/recycling-and-garbage/disposal-options/household-hazardous-waste/# which has a full list of household items accepted for FREE disposal. I arrived on the 4th Saturday at about 8:45 am and had no line to wait in, and had my gas cans emptied and returned to me in under 5 minutes. They collect several other household chemicals and liquids, all explained on the website. To say I was grateful to have such a simple and efficient way to dispose of old gas was wonderful. If you GPS the location, it is not the big building at this address. The collection area is up the driveway is just a bit south, near the huge water tower. Look for the signs and drive up the hill to the waiting men. I had no idea such a service was available. They take my fouled gasoline and use it where it is possible, so recycling is being done well. I will dispose of all my acceptable items here from now on. I suggest you do the same.
