Milwaukee: The City That Never Sleeps
Milwaukee, Milwaukee
A hell of a town
Bayside’s up and Waukegan is down
The 32 runs right through Mequon
Milwaukee, Milwaukee
It’s a hell of a town!

DOH! So close, yet so far…. like 960 miles.
November 5, 2012 at 4:04 pm
I have a twinge of “something ain’t right”
November 5, 2012 at 4:04 pm
I’ve never been sexually stimulated by a skyline before… and it’s still not happening now.
November 5, 2012 at 4:05 pm
That lamp isn’t the Space Needle? I thought that I was in Seattle for a second.
November 5, 2012 at 4:07 pm
Well, all that beige may have thrown you.
November 5, 2012 at 4:08 pm
We call it “latte”.
November 5, 2012 at 5:40 pm
Just don’t call me “latte” for dinner! Heh-heh, there’s no stupid shit like the old stupid shit.
November 5, 2012 at 4:08 pm
I can’t think of anything witty to say, I’m just laughing too hard
WHO THE HELL WOULD THINK THIS IS ANYTHING OTHER THAN NYC?
I mean, each place has its own skyline and, there are always some cities I don’t recognize right away, but come on! People (in the USA, at least, and after 9/11, most other people around the world with TV access) who’ve lived under a rock for the last 40 years would still know where this one is!
November 5, 2012 at 4:10 pm
hm, not sure why this posted over here…it was supposed to be a mainline post…
but, well, since I’m here anyway…
Every time…EVERY DAMN TIME I think the post is funny and nothing can top it, I read one of LeeLoo’s comments and just…OW MY SPLEEN!
November 5, 2012 at 9:17 pm
Actually in a post 9/11 world this one doesn’t fit.
where we you when the Twin Towers fell on that cheese factory?
…I’m going to hell.
November 6, 2012 at 2:00 pm
yeah, you’re probably going to hell…meet ya by the oyster bar?
And, in a post 9/11 world, everybody who watched it either in person or on TV, or has seen any TV coverage of it at all since then, would recognize the Twin Towers.
This person just plain doesn’t care and is apparently trying to sell this same skyline for EVERY major city for the sake of a buck. A sad, sad person…or a clever, clever troll
November 5, 2012 at 9:23 pm
Actually, you’re mistaken. No place has it’s own skyline. As far as I can tell from the photos at the shop, all American cities have this same skyline.
November 6, 2012 at 2:00 pm
you could be on to something there…
November 5, 2012 at 5:52 pm
Move the lamp six inches to the left, add a wash of winter mildew and you ARE looking at Seattle. From a ladder.
November 5, 2012 at 8:27 pm
I bet some moss green would add the authentic touch you’re looking for.
November 5, 2012 at 8:34 pm
Maybe they meant MilwaukIE, as in the town in Oregon. Then the space needle wouldn’t be such a stretch…only 160 miles or so.
November 5, 2012 at 4:06 pm
This is also seen on the site as “Chicago, Memphis… LA, Tulsa… ” So many cities… so not the same thing.
November 5, 2012 at 4:07 pm
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me…
November 5, 2012 at 4:07 pm
hey! aren’t those the twin tow huh?
November 5, 2012 at 4:14 pm
Ssssshhh! The terrorist will never think to look for them in Wisconsin.
November 5, 2012 at 5:09 pm
That’s because there’s nothing here, it’s the perfect plan!
November 5, 2012 at 8:44 pm
Wisconsin is the unattainable meat core surround by the impenetrable dough that is the Midwestern Pirogi.
November 5, 2012 at 8:50 pm
OMG i love a good pirogi
November 7, 2012 at 8:38 am
mm, pierogi. the real reason anyone lives in milwaukee.
November 5, 2012 at 4:08 pm
“Your purchase goes directly to Worldwide Education Services, a public charity dedicated to improving lives through education and strengthening family values. Life can be so much more.”
Hmmm…
November 5, 2012 at 6:11 pm
A public charity dedicated to improving lives through education on all subjects except geography.
November 5, 2012 at 8:46 pm
Their mission statement doesn’t mention helping those who are, in any way, lost.
November 6, 2012 at 10:04 am
Or time.
November 5, 2012 at 4:08 pm
That’s the wurst piece of Schlitz to come out of Milwaukee since Bud Selig.
November 5, 2012 at 8:47 pm
I saw sagely what you did there.
November 6, 2012 at 12:35 pm
Looking at it made me blatz all over myself.
November 5, 2012 at 4:09 pm
Twinge of Pride? Yea I twinge every time I see my town’s skyline in silhouette with another city’s name attributed to it too.
November 5, 2012 at 4:12 pm
Milwaukee art without Laverne and Shirley? What a schlamiel.
November 5, 2012 at 5:41 pm
Lenny and Squiggy are gonna be pissed!
November 5, 2012 at 6:58 pm
Che’s rhyme and now thoughts of Laverne & Shirley…
I feel so homesick.
Dammit, I need a some cheese curds and a bratwurst.
November 6, 2012 at 12:36 pm
And Leinenkugel! Don’t forget the Leinies!
November 30, 2012 at 11:05 am
Me too…
November 5, 2012 at 4:12 pm
Start spreading the cheese
And openin’ beers.
I wanna drink a lot in it
Milwau – waukee!
I wanna wake up in a bar that’s never closed.
To find a puddle of puke, right where I dozed
November 5, 2012 at 5:53 pm
Zippy, that’s actually quite beautiful.
November 5, 2012 at 4:15 pm
I guess that big storm really blew shit all over the place!
November 5, 2012 at 4:16 pm
Even my city doesn’t look like, my city. It looks like a bunch of dildos and a circus tent. I mean, this city is known for being full of conservative d-bags, but dildos? This city doesn’t know what a dildo is! (well, we do have Larry Flynt for that, actually….)
November 5, 2012 at 4:24 pm
The Seattle one is the same as this one.
I don’t know where I am any more! Someone spiked my coffee.
November 5, 2012 at 4:27 pm
look at the third picture down.
it’s like a damn hall of mirrors… no way out!
November 6, 2012 at 2:03 pm
Oh, that was me, LeeLoo. Can we have sexy times now or do I need to spike the next one too?
November 6, 2012 at 3:21 am
LOL well said! You’re speaking of course of the southern approach. Seen from the north it just looks like the ass side of a public garage.
November 6, 2012 at 3:48 am
WKRP reports that two giant street signs have beat Procter and Gamble’s headquarter buildings in the race for mid-level dominance. The prize for most monstrous goes to the new dildo factory. Larry Flynt was on hand to thank the supporters of Hustler and urges everyone in Cincinnati to loosen up!!
November 5, 2012 at 4:18 pm
Somebody neglected to remember to never forget.
November 5, 2012 at 4:28 pm
*brain short-circuits at appearance of many infinitives at once*
November 5, 2012 at 4:29 pm
So many directions to follow.

BRING OUT THE SPARKLY GIFS!! Quickly!
November 5, 2012 at 4:38 pm
“Never forget.”
“Forget what?”
“You know, that day that thing happened.”
“In Milwaukee?”
“Yeah, don’t you remember? We had that crazy huge skyline?”
“Oh, yeah… I guess.”
And Scene….
November 5, 2012 at 4:43 pm
Seems to be missing a few bowling alleys.
November 7, 2012 at 8:40 am
and bars. don’t forget the bars.
November 5, 2012 at 4:44 pm
I like the “osterich” but the zebra looks lika a jackass!
And surprisingly enough, the “San Francisco” skyline has the Transamerica pyramid and the Golden Gate. Of course, the orientation is one that you couldn’t actually ever see. It has the bridge is on the left, and the pyramid is on the right. If you’re looking from the bay, you could see this image in reverse. If you’re looking from the ocean side, you’d see the bridge on the left, and the back of Coast Range on the left
November 5, 2012 at 8:48 pm
Why does the same Hippopotamus (or skyline view) print have varying costs?
November 6, 2012 at 3:28 am
size
November 6, 2012 at 7:53 am
Silly me, they look the same size on the screen
November 5, 2012 at 4:52 pm
Thanks for the sick Mequon shotout! Woohoo! Makes me think Crochet might be a seriously up on his Wisconsin knowledge…
November 5, 2012 at 4:59 pm
To be fair, it gets hard to tell where one city ends and another starts when driving through Milcagoitlevittsdelphitrenyork.
November 5, 2012 at 5:05 pm
So that is where the Twin Towers ended up. Who knew? I guess they are in the witness protection program now and have been renamed The Milwaukee Double Header or something to cleverly fool everyone. Them evil-doers will never figure it out.
November 5, 2012 at 5:15 pm
They’re calling themselves the Triplet Towers.
November 5, 2012 at 5:51 pm
“Lenny”, “Squiggy” and (not shown) “The Big Ragoo”
November 6, 2012 at 12:38 pm
Shoulda moved to Mpls/St. Paul. So they’d be the Twin Towers in the Twin Cities, hey?
November 5, 2012 at 5:08 pm
I live an hour north of Milwaukee and go there often. I’m very sorry to say that I have never gone up the World Trade Center, or even seen them, but now I have something to do next weekend!
November 5, 2012 at 5:23 pm
This just reinforces my belief that people in milwaukee wished they lived elsewhere.
November 5, 2012 at 5:26 pm
Love the colors. Brimstone yellow: for your Sodom and Gomorrah-type cities.
November 5, 2012 at 5:31 pm
Just post a picture of a brewery and call it a day.
November 5, 2012 at 5:44 pm
Milwaukee didn’t look like that when I drove through it once on vacation. Of course, that was before GPS, so maybe I was lost.
November 5, 2012 at 5:52 pm
We vacationed like animals back then!
November 5, 2012 at 6:21 pm
What’s funny about this to me is that Mequon isn’t in Milwaukee.

Don’t steal mah dezign!!!11!!1!!
Oh, but if you want to send me someone else’s photo, so I can yoink their design and make a silhouette, that’s fine with me.
November 5, 2012 at 6:43 pm
Is that a Shoggoth eating the upper city from the right? And how’s the housing market there?
November 5, 2012 at 6:32 pm
Call me when they have Pocatello, Idaho back in stock.
November 5, 2012 at 8:33 pm
Skaggsville, Maryland, better be next bitches
November 5, 2012 at 6:32 pm
Okay, what the FUCK is THIS?
November 5, 2012 at 7:08 pm
I downloaded “Shop Savy” to my phone, scanned the barcode and it sent me to a website in Indonesian (?) with pictures of small children chained to workbenches making what looks like “West Elm” furniture and a link to Bain Capital. So, hello investment opportunity!
November 5, 2012 at 8:06 pm
Congratulations, you are a job creator!
November 5, 2012 at 8:44 pm
You’ve mad skills Rushgirl2112! – enviously, SoplaMe
November 6, 2012 at 3:32 am
I don’t think she did anything to the picture. That IS the picture they used!
Nothing says comfy, or hometown pride, like a bar code.
November 6, 2012 at 9:26 am
Oops- I must have been cross-eyed (or drunk) or both? when I looked at the items in the shop. Didn’t see that one so OBVIOUSLY Rushgirl must have made it. drunk rookie mistake
November 6, 2012 at 9:31 am
no worries. Seeing Giant barcodes as decor tend to make a mind go numb. What the what what?
November 5, 2012 at 6:42 pm
I call foul. I don’t see a Summerfest tent or see a place to adjust the size of the smell of yeasty beer that covers the place.
I bet that’s Hartford.
November 5, 2012 at 7:58 pm
Agree. It must be a troll or some Milwaukeean with skyline envy.
November 6, 2012 at 12:40 pm
And the Harbor Bridge? Where’s the unforgettable, already-falling-apart-opened-in-1979 Harbor Bridge?
November 5, 2012 at 8:08 pm
I see they used Apple Maps.
November 5, 2012 at 8:13 pm
Oh! More! Bird bird bird! How unimaginative when it could have repeated a few dozen times as hawk eagle falcon robin kite skylark blabbity blabbity bird bird bird …
November 5, 2012 at 8:23 pm
Can I get it on a necklace? I would love to wear the city of brotherly love next to my heart.
November 5, 2012 at 8:26 pm
You’ll want it backwards, right?
November 6, 2012 at 8:02 am
Yah, you betcha! (said in the voice of Frances McDormand in Fargo)
November 5, 2012 at 11:07 pm
The DC one is hilarious. It’s a random bunch of monuments and museums that aren’t aven on the same street, much less right next to each other.
November 6, 2012 at 6:25 am
As a real-live Milwaukeean, I am completely embarrassed by this artist’s gaffe and completely amused by everyone’s comments.
(Please know that we may talk funny and dress funny here, but not all of us are this idiotic.)
November 6, 2012 at 7:32 am
It’s a common mistake but that’s actually Pewaukee’s skyline (It’s near Waukesha and Nashota). As an Oconomowocan I understand that when the first map of Wisconsin was made, the cartographer got lazy and just started to write random letters instead of real city names.
November 6, 2012 at 1:49 pm
Um, sorry. But I think that’s actually Tomah. Or Minoqua. Viroqua? Those distinguished cities have lovely skylines.
November 7, 2012 at 6:18 pm
Viroqua? They also have a lovely yarn store there!
November 30, 2012 at 11:08 am
Minoqua! I grew up near there.
November 30, 2012 at 11:09 am
Except it’s spelled Minocqua.
November 6, 2012 at 7:36 am
The ostrich silhouette is clearly a rhea. The chimp is clearly a bonobo. And the soccer player is clearly a basketball player running after a ball. This person can’t get anything right.
November 6, 2012 at 10:07 am
I can safely say that this is no skyline of any city now.
I ordered a skyline of the Jersey Shore, and all I got was 4 feet of black tape.
November 6, 2012 at 10:44 am
Now what is Snooki going to wear to the club?
November 8, 2012 at 8:11 pm
Holy shit, a Waukegan shout on on Regretsy?! Nice. That is where I grew up.
