From the Wikipedia entry:
The Yerkes Observatory, arguably the birthplace of modern astrophysics, is an astronomical observatory of the University of Chicago in Williams Bay, Wisconsin. It was created in 1897 by George Ellery Hale and financed by Charles T. Yerkes. The observatory represented a shift in the thinking of observatories, from mere housing for a telescope and observer, to the modern concept of observation equipment integrated with laboratory space for physics and chemistry. A 102 cm (40 inch) refracting telescope built by the master optician Alvan Clark is located inside. It remains the largest refracting telescope ever used. |

The bottle line at the Sprecher brewery in Milwaukee. Short tour followed by the all you can drink Beer Garden. All you can drink soda and up to 4 beers. Some amazing brews...I greatly enjoyed the creme soda but also tried the pizza beer and the XXX root beer which was very good. The pizza beer did taste just like a pizza... which was a bit disconcerting...even the after taste had me feeling i took a bite of pizza. |
