I just skimmed through this. I hope he went to Jimmy's Grotto for a Ponza Rotta. A true Waukesha staple. Also, the garlic bread at Mia's is another Waukesha classic.

Thanks for visiting us. The city and others are sharing this on Facebook. I am very unfamiliar with these employers.

As a Waukesha native, I got to go "I know where that is" a ton.

Very upsetting that Carmen De La Paz referred to what happened at the Waukesha Christmas Parade as a "tragic accident". (17:20) Her involvement in the memorial should definitely be reassessed if this is her interpretation of what occurred that day.

It definitely was no accident. It was the evil plans of Satan. God is more powerful.

What would you call it then? And I’m pretty sure her involvement will is 100000x more than anything you will do other than complain.

And I think we all know what she means. She on TV give her a break.

I grew up going to the Pix Theater for movies c. 1978 through c. 1989. There also was the "Park" movie theater a few blocks and a bit south from the Pix. I remember driving by the Pix one time with my dad and it was showing X rated softcore erotica. There was this real heavy set lady standing outside the theater staring at the movie poster.

He filled a small venue in a county highly supportive. Stroked his cult. Didn’t even know he was visiting as he’s a nothing burger to the general public. Waukesha rocks!

Waukesha is such a cesspool. 2/3 people are the worst America has to offer.

A very Republican county and mostly republican city. The area surrounding the downtown is democrat and where most of the cities crimes and issues arise.

Someone recommended this video. Watched 30 seconds… “Guitar town”. No. Honestly no one here ever talked about guitars or Les Paul ever, until one day it just started and has been shoved down our throats ever since. Many people had never even heard of Les Paul, let alone those in his home town. I feel as though it is just tolerated, and still no one talks about Les Paul or his guitars. Literally no one cares.

Speak for yourself.

Probably because people don’t talk about celebrities until they die. He died 15 years ago.

@@user-wq5ws1qs7x Les Paul transcends the whole “celebrity” category. He basically invented the electric guitar not to mention countless recording techniques that didn’t exist until him. No Les Paul, no rock n roll.

There are les Paul parkway signs all along 59/164, the middle school is named after him, and everyone knows about it. Don't be a pompous ass about the legend and my hometown.
