Wisconsin is loaded with attractions and big events. Miller Park is fantastic. It won ESPNs Battle of the Ballparks. The roof provides protection from the elements. The huge parking lots host the biggest public party in baseball.

I didn't know people tailgated for baseball games until I moved to Milwaukee. I was annoyed that the park was out of town which required driving. I'm used to games in Cleveland and Detroit where you can just walk there after having a few drinks. I prefer being able to walk vs. standing in a parking lot.

Will, is there a film, tv, and media department in any of the Milwaukee universities? Make some better media about Milwaukee.

Youtube and the like exist now. Let people see all the great things that Milwaukee has to offer.

After you go to Miller Park in Milwaukee go to a Wisconsin Badgers football game at Camp Randall in Madison, Wisconsin. USA Today named it the #1 College Sports Town. The stadium is a must visit for UW Badgers home games. They sing "Jump around" after the third quarter and the entire concrete stadium shakes under your feet. Stick around after the game for the 5th quarter. If you have time visit the Wisconsin State Capital building.

Laverne & Shirley into iconic theme song and opening intro. CLEARLY A BUILDING WITH MILWAUKEE ON IT IS ĪN THE OPENING. Versions changed a bit over the decade run.

Intro to "Happy Days" iconic theme song. As years changed and characters got older.... versions kept the same theme song every year but cast pictures changed.

Sad you never saw one episode of shows that were unique and never duplicated......
I remember these shows a youngster. Yeah, it's pretty lame for a city's image to be shaped by any TV show, let along one (or 2 in this case) that aired over 40 years ago!

Though I thought the 1st season of "Happy Days" was very good, I never cared for "Laverne & Shirley" (RIP Penny Marshall; a superb director; OK actor). "L&S" though, obviously, was more in-your-face Milwaukee than "Happy Days".

... btw the BEST "Happy Days" theme intro theme song was Bill Haley & his Comets "Rock Around the Clock." The subsequent "Happy Days" song was lame by comparison; a major drop off... and the (originally high-quality) show began to decline along with it.
