Just moved to Kenosha, WI ~ What's to do?

[LolitaHaze]

Hi everyone! I just moved to Kenosha from Phoenix and I was just wondering if anyone knew what and where the vintage scene is here. Are there any events nearby coming up? Any places to go and see? Thanks!

When I'm visiting Jackie's family in Milwaukee, people there always want to know where I'm from. With my thick drawl, I need only speak a few words for folks to know that I'm not a Sconnie. I tell them that I'm from way south of South Milwaukee...

I tell them I'm from South Kenosha.

Well, you can go ride the streetcar any day of the week, that's pretty vintage! They've got a quintet of gorgeous late '40s streamlined cars in everyday transit service there. Be sure to appreciate these rare gems. I had the privilege of operating one today here in Penna., but there's not many of this American icon left running, and even fewer in public service.

Not much of a Vintage Scene Per-Se, just hitting the antique shop scene is about all I do lol

Actually, Lake Michigan fish are very good. We sometimes charter a boat out of Racine and catch beautiful nine and ten pound lake trout. Delicious on the grill! Almost makes me forget about the king mackerel and dolphin we catch down here.

This photo taken just a few miles up the lake shore from Kenosha.

Lo and I are quoting the Weezer video for "Buddy Holly" -- which makes me think of Kenosha and vice versa! lol

There's a place I used to go in Port Washington which sold Smoked Chubs in bulk for cheap and they were the best darn chubs I ever had. I wish I could remember the name of the darn place.
