Chances are if you haven't been to Green Bay in a while, you'd think it was all Packers all the time. Well, that's still pretty true. Title Town bleeds green and gold, so it sometimes takes a true outsider to go beyond the team and into touristville.
The New York Times did just this in its latest "36 Hours" piece that's now up on nytimes.com. For you paper people, I'm sure it will run in print on Sunday. Written by Robert Simonson, who also wrote the most recent "36 Hours" piece on Milwaukee, "36 Hours in Green Bay, Wis" takes the reader to Union Hotel, the Neville Public Museum, Beerntsen’s Candies, Al’s Hamburger Shop, Bay Beach and, of course, Lambeau Field.
Read the entire piece here, and get to Green Bay now for Packers training camp action.
A life-long and passionate community leader and Milwaukeean, Jeff Sherman is a co-founder of OnMilwaukee.
He grew up in Wauwatosa and graduated from Marquette University, as a Warrior. He holds an MBA from Cardinal Stritch University, and is the founding president of Young Professionals of Milwaukee (YPM)/Fuel Milwaukee.
Early in his career, Sherman was one of youngest members of the Greater Milwaukee Committee, and currently is involved in numerous civic and community groups - including board positions at The Wisconsin Center District, Wisconsin Club and Marcus Center for the Performing Arts. He's honored to have been named to The Business Journal's "30 under 30" and Milwaukee Magazine's "35 under 35" lists.
He owns a condo in Downtown and lives in greater Milwaukee with his wife Stephanie, his son, Jake, and daughter Pierce. He's a political, music, sports and news junkie and thinks, for what it's worth, that all new movies should be released in theaters, on demand, online and on DVD simultaneously.
He also thinks you should read OnMilwaukee each and every day.
