Ogg sucks. Most Packer games are on the Fox affiliate on channel 47. The Packers can be heard on the radio on WIBA-AM 1310 & WIBA-FM 101.5. The west side of town is mostly subdivisions and shopping malls while the east side is more working class. The south side is our "ghetto". South Towne and Market Square are the cheapie cinemas. Westgate, Hilldale, and the Orpheum have arty fair. Scanner Dan is the pudgy guy on State Street monitoring the police bands all day.
For anyone who came here from a long ways away:
FIB = Fucking Illinois Bastard
Brat is short for bratwurst, a type of German sausage.
This is Wisconsin - eat lots of cheese.
Any locals have any other links or advice?
