Whenever in Monroe WI, I plan to have lunch at Baumgartner’s Tavern of a simple swiss cheese on rye with mustard. YUM! (These shots are in my cell phone 10 mp camera).
The front of the store is a cheese shop with a few eating tables. An archway leading to the tavern in back modestly proclaims;
Through The Portals you can get the finest cheese sandwiches in the world .
Sign for the store on the square.
This is the view after passing through the “Portal”. Jo is at the left. We arrived about 11:30. By noon there was a waiting line for tables.
Here is the menu. At the left the sign reads ”You don’t eat it LIMBURGER with your nose.”
The fancy county courthouse is across the street from Baumgartner’s. It is still in use by all county offices.
The downtown area is decorated with painted statues of animals found on local farms.
This is the main stained glass window in United Church of Beloit, formerly Second Congregational Church in which I grew up.
We visited June and Goron Myse in Appleton. Gordy and I went through Beloit College together and roomed together for our first semester of law school at the University of Michigan. His legal career included 25 years as a judge.
