The Passenger to Paradise visited Milwaukee last summer, so she decided the city was a good destination for the A to Z Blogfest Challenge and her Around the World in 30 Days - "M".

She was distressed to discover that the awnings on the Pfister Hotel are now red instead of the green color she used when painting the hotel for her
Hotels to Remember book. She couldn't change her painting, and now the outside of the hotel had a different appearance. Thankfully, she had already decided her book and all the paintings, photos, and stories in it were just a "snapshot in time".
The city had a pleasant feel to it, and the Milwaukee Museum was only a short walk down the street where it sits on the edge of Lake Michigan. Although she is not a big fan of Chinese art, the Passenger toured the special exhibit that was heading back to China the following week.
Since her last visit, the museum had completely changed, and the Pfister had a different exterior appearance. Nothing is certain except change, she decided.

Milwaukee is a good destination, period. (Hey, I'm a native cheesehead, we're loyal.)
My last visits home were too short,but that art museum is spectacular from the outside, the skyline and architecture is unique, and there's plenty to do, from sporting events to Summerfest to the zoo and museums, and tasty food to eat while doing it. (Have I talked myself into making a trip back, soon?)
Hi Monti .. I love the mixed media art .. and the tour in general - and your other destinations .. I guess a trip we could all do at some stage ..
Fun to see and read - cheers Hilary
I was born in Green Bay and never have been to Milwaukee. A friend of mine is from there and her last name is Pfister, she never did tell me if she was related to the hotel.
trekking your blog!!! never been there. but what a great place with our photos. :-)
cheers!
..TREK..
I've never been to Milwaukee. It always makes me think of the Laverne and Shirley show. You may be too young to know what I'm talking about. lol
Beverly, you must visit the museum. It's fantastic, and watching the wings open at 5 p.m. or whatever the time is amazing!
Thanks for visiting.
Hilary, thanks for stopping by. I love travel especially to unique destinations!
Chuck, you have to be a Packers' fan. Maybe we can agree on that one!
Pfister is an unusual name. If she is a member of that family, she probably has a great story to tell.
Thanks for stopping by!
No, I remember the show. Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks for visiting my blog, icedgurl.
Summer is the best time to visit Milwaukee, I think.
I've never been to Milwaukee as far as I know...and when I think about it, the only place I remember visiting that might have been in Minnesota was White Bear Lake...and I only remember that because I was a kid and got hit in the back of the head with a rock while swimming in the lake with family. Ah, random memories that surface for no reason.
