Around the Corner with John McGivern | Program | Brookfield & Elm Grove (#708)
[Latest Airdate: June 7, 2018]
[Original Airdate: March 1, 2018]
Brookfield and Elm Grove are only 15 minutes west of Milwaukee. The idyllic, small village of Elm Grove is surrounded by Brookfield on three sides. It has a downtown that is charm itself. John made art, visited private properties and an Irish Pub. Brookfield is large, has a lot of subdivisions, tons of shopping and good food. We spent time at the police department (by choice, not circumstance), at Brookfield Square and with the girls of the Glacier Hockey.
We know people in both communities --- lots of people --- who have already said, Why didn't you just choose Brookfield? or Elm Grove deserved its own episode! Here's the truth: It was just easier to include both Brookfield and Elm Grove than to drive through or around one or the other. Look, we love you all, and we love you equally! (Seriously? You thought we'd chose one and not the other? Please!...)

Around the Corner with John McGivern | Program | Cudahy (#307)
[Latest Airdate: June 22, 2017]
[Original Airdate: February 20, 2014]
As John Gurda put it, some communities bring home the bacon, but Cudahy makes the bacon!
It was true when Patrick Cudahy put this town on the map -- literally -- and it's still true today. Speaking of bacon, know what else John McGivern loves about Cudahy? It offers some of the best scenery and pastimes that Wisconsin has to offer. Trap shooting, archery, bird watching, golf and some of the best trails along Lake Michigan all co-exist in Sheridan Park. And speaking of one-of-a-kind attractions, wait until you see Dretska's! It's so great! And speaking of great, the art in Rick Serocki's yard is just that. Enough speaking! Start watching. Like us, you won't be able to resist this place that was once known as Porkapolis!

Around the Corner with John McGivern | Program | South Milwaukee (#408)
[Latest Airdate: August 9, 2018]
[Original Airdate: February 26,2015]
South Milwaukee has a sports memorabilia museum that makes your jaw drop, the only NASCAR store in Wisconsin, a Martial Arts Master and a huge park to play any sport you want. We didn’t just find sports seekers in Grant Park. We found Nels the historian and bird nerds, and down the block, the only hosta-holics we ever met. South Milwaukee also has everything you need to woo your loved one. There are flowers, jewelry, a night at the theater and a restaurant with 20 flavors of margaritas! (8 of 13)
