When you look at this place as it appeared in the early 1850s you can see how this city could easily have become a second Venice or St Petersburg. Thanks to the city planners however and some good ol' Teutonic logic in the street grid design, Milwaukee is what it is today, home to Harley Davidson motorbikes and MGD (that's a beer folks!). It is however for quite another product that the area and its citizens are renowned. Or, to quote "Big Nose" standing at the back of the crowd at the sermon on the mount in Monty Python's "Life of Brian" - "Blessed Are The Cheesemakers"!
