Really, you can’t go wrong with any frozen
custard—by nature of its rich ingredients, this treat is inherently delicious
no matter who serves it up. Still, plenty of Milwaukeeans will drive miles out
of their way for Leon’s, which they loyally tout as the city’s one true custard
stand. It’s certainly one of the oldest. Built in 1942, and purportedly the
inspiration for the “Happy Days” drive-in, Leon’s is lit up by dynamic, neon
signs straight out of the ’50s. On hot summer nights, Milwaukeeans mingle as
they wait in long lines for old-fashioned sundaes and floats. Great custard is
ubiquitous in this city, but a trip to Leon’s is as much about the experience
as it is the dessert. (E.R.)

Steve Grimm's place in Milwaukee music history remains secure for having fronted one of the city's most prominent bands to make it to a major label. It's been a while since Bad Boy was a happening entity, but Grimm remains vital-if inextricably linked to
