My Cito (the black lab in the front) came up from Kentucky. I was told at the time that the Wisconsin Humane Society gets a lot of dogs from the South because Wisconsinites adopt and Southerners just don’t.

My office is barely inside the security zone. The boundries are on the north and east sides of the parking lot. I suspect that I am going to be coming down with a heck of a cold that will keep me home for the duration of the RNC.

With most motorcycles, you can bump start them and the vast majority of the wiring on the bike is exposed to everybody and everything. I can see them falling into a similar space as the voiture sans permis.

Last year, the talking heads were predicting a 76% chance of recession. Someone seems to be really eager for some relevance.

Well, that’s no good. 🤨

Colectivo is good but I wouldn’t sleep on Stone Creek from Milwaukee. They retooled their cafes a decade ago to be less like Starbucks or Caribou and more of a geekier experience. Their selection is pretty baller, their educational programs are neat (https://www.stonecreekcoffee.com/public-classes/), and their devotion to sustainability is admirable, IMHO.

$6.3 million feels like a lot. Did they even build anything there?

Hopefully someone like Hawthorne Coffee Roasters, Colectivo, Stone Creek Coffee, or Anodyne will find value in the space. It would suck if it was turned into something other than a coffee shop.

I would love to see The Hop have a stop there but it is having trouble getting as far as the convention center. There are light rail systems that are on the street part of the time and on rail lines part of the time. I wonder if it would be possible to do something like that with The Hop to extend its reach?
