On the town in Milwaukee: Where's the "western" world?
Apparently the Sussex bowling alley doubles as the Square Benders Square Dancing headquarters at least once a week. Occasionally, the Milwaukee Ale House hosts live country acts and Kelly's Bleachers on Bluemound Road has been known to play as much pop country as top 40 music on the dance floor.

Get Norfolk & Western to Milwaukee!
Recently I picked up an EP by a small band by the name of Norfolk & Western called "A Guilded Age," and it was very good. The band is small (technically only two people), they've been around for five years, and they've had a few albums out, but up to my point of purchase they didn't even have a requisite fan-heavy entry in Wikipedia.
