And having visited the US on numerous occasions, you of course know whereof you speak.

Absolutely. Milwauke is like a second home to me. Albiet like some inverse Faustian nightmare.

 Coincidentally, day before yesterday I went to visit my former landlord, who grew up in Milwaukee. He just turned 75, and was telling us that when he was a kid the German influence there was still really strong. I'm kind of curious about Milwaukee -- I don't know anything at all about that part of the US.

Is that where Happy Days was meant to be set, or did I just make that up ?

Mmmmm ~~ maybe. Milwaukee was where Laverne & Shirley lived. Wasn't that a spin-off from Happy Days?

I think I had found some link that I put somewhere on the Screening Room board which shows the purported location of every American TV series on a map. Here it is. |

Well, that thing is like a quiz: "Can You Name the States?" Some of them I only know because I happen to know where the show was set.  |

Love that town and home, gyro. I see that you have carelessly omitted to mention whether you have guest room(s)?
