Ode to the 'Sha

Welcome to the 'Sha . . . "the Kickin'est Place on The Planet"

While mechanical issues on Flight 1185 kept be grounded in Connecticut this week, nothing can diminish the civic pride that swells in my heart when I think of my hometown. It is, as my brother often declares, the 'kickin'est place on the planet."
Don't believe me? Listen to this sample from A Prairie Home Companion (real player required) and enjoy the photos of the majesty of that is Waukesha.


Waukesha, it means 'by the little foxes.' True story.

The afforementioned 'Little Fox,' river that is.

Historic downtown Waukesha, now with streets that go both ways!

Old buildings abound, not 1701 old, but old nonetheless


Kim's Five Point Cafe. Home of Finger Licked Food.


Waukesha's Grand Old Courthouse & Museum. G-Ma H. volunteers here.

Proof, gathered by some MN-kids, that the 'sha is indeed kickin'!!

This is the most beautiful and poetic post I have ever seen. I'll even go as far as to say it is the kickinest post on the face of the planet.

Tom, Forever a Waukeshanian...ian...er... a person from Waukesha

Um, I'm not too proud to admit that there is no comparison between the 'Sha and The Ajoining Suburb That Shall No Longer Be Named. 'Sha wins.
