Today in pulp... Milwaukee Magazine: it's the cream of Cream City!

If anyone tells you Wisconsin sucks just ask to see their crummy city magazine. I'M LOOKING AT YOU HERE CLEVELAND! #TuesdayThoughts

The city's most interesting faces*. Milwaukee Magazine, May 1980.

(*no Gene Wilder. He disowned the city after it slated Stir Crazy)

This is what #Bloomsday looks like in Wisconsin. It's what Joyce would have wanted...

Where have all the heroes gone? Milwaukee Magazine, December 1985.

Somebody REALLY liked Bonnie Tyler here...

"Oh yes it's ladies night, at the Lucid Light, oh what a night..."

Milwaukee Magazine, March 1984. Oh behave!

Sinister theatre cults! Punk palaces! Racketball! Where will this madness end...
