City lights, lots of fun, tasty food, and a wonderful time. Downtown, where people meet and greet, eat, and sleep. Who does not want to go Downtown. There is so much to see, so much to do and so many opportunities are downtown too. Whether it is work or play, or just an afternoon stroll, you are going to have an amazing time downtown.
I remember going downtown with my aunt Libbie as a child to run errands and we would stop at Auther Treacher’s fish and chips and A&W restaurant to have lunch and I thought life could not get any better. Going downtown can be memorable for all of us and no matter how times change, we can all find something fun, informational, and exciting to do downtown.
Winter is one of the best times to go downtown, because all the streets are decorated with holiday lights, the Fiserv Forum is there, where the Milwaukee Bucks are working on another Championship and so much more. So, I am going to list a few places where you and I can go this month on our trip downtown.
