Eye on Travel

Peter Greenberg Worldwide—Harley-Davidson Museum, Milwaukee, Wisconsin—October 29, 2016

unnamedThis week, the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show broadcasts from the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin—a city with 10 miles of incredible lakefront and 111 locally-owned downtown restaurants. The city that beer made famous is much more than that, with a great cultural renaissance and one of my all-time favorite bookstores. Joining me will be Bobby Tanzilo, Editor of OnMilwaukee, with his favorite off-the-brochure locations and one special underwater secret about the city. Jim Fricke, Curator for the Harley-Davidson Museum, talks about the crazy collection of motorcycles (going back to 1903) and has some real surprises. Milwaukee isn’t just about beer, it’s distilling gin, vodka, and even absinthe along the shores of Lake Michigan. Ted Perry, FOX 6 Anchor, talks about his days at the University of Wisconsin and how he was once the actual mascot, Bucky Badger, for the football team. He also shares the wild story of how he got fired. Kathleen Ehley, Mayor of Wauwatosa—and a Harley rider—talks about her cross-country motorcycle rides. Also, Historian John Gurda talks about the great and little-known neighborhoods of Milwaukee. Our regulars also stop by, including Scott McCartney, Travel Editor of the The Wall Street Journal, with a report on the airports with the longest walks and what needs to be done. George Hobica, founder of Airfarewatchdog.com, discusses changes on some opaque booking sites you need to know. There’s all of this and more as the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show broadcasts from the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
