Gee Slo Bob,
My Mom and Dad are from Wisconsin. My Mom passed away this past October, about a week after I got back home from SWA. As a kid we spent our time between Milwaukee and California, settling in California. My Mom Really loved Gimbels. Her brother Milton worked his entire career at Pabst and when we lived on Keefe Avenue I recall all of the large signs for Pabst, Blatz and Schlitz. Milwaukee was such a great place in those days of the late fifties and early sixties. But those things you bring up as being gone really stuck home. Wasn't there a hamburger place in Milwaukee or Wisconsin called "Georges" or something like that? They had sliders that as a kid I just loved.
And My Aunt Verna lived down the street from Hammering Hank! I remember meeting him one night at a local Pizza Joint. That must have been, gosh 1960 0r 61.
