  1. But she starts the article with cheese curds, so she hasn't gotten past ALL of her stereotypes. I've lived in the city and environs for 50 of my 56 years, and I've NEVER eaten a cheese curd.

  2. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Another travel writer is shocked that stereotypes aren't true. Here's what I think about journalists who pay attention to stereotypes at all: they aren't very good. If there is one thing you learn in Journalism 101 it is to look beneath the surface, seek the truth and don't pay attention to stereotypes. And, clearly, she hasn't been approaching her job that way for a LONG time ---- since she still remembers Laverne and Shirley. Hasn't that show been off the air for decades and decades? I think most of what she has written is pretty much like every other travel story I've read about Milwaukee. Ho hum.
