Wisconsin spends a lot on frozen dairy treats, but the Dairy State isn't No. 1 in spending for the sweet treats.
Wisconsinites and those of us in the Milwaukee area love our ice cream, but apparently we fall far short of the folks in the nation's capitol. In celebration of July being National Ice Cream month, data and survey website Bundle.com recently looked into which cities and states spend the most on ice cream. Wisconsin came in third place behind the District of Columbia and (seriously?) Rhode Island, the smallest state in the union. Milwaukee placed fifth among cities, bowing to Long Beach, CA; Dallas; Philadelphia; and Columbus, OH. Wisconsin consumes 26 percent to 50 percent more than the average American, according to the study. The website examined all households that had a credit card transaction at ice cream and frozen yogurt vendors. …

Fox Point native takes on iconic legend, Elvis.
Fox Point native and Hollywood filmmaker John Scheinfeld is taking the next big step in his carrer as a documentry film maker by working on one of the most iconic subjects in the world, Elvis Presley. Scheinfeld, who's documentaries have shown at theatres worldwide, is best known for his projects like, The U.S. vs. John Lennon (2006) and Who Is Harry Nilsson (And Why Is Everybody Talkin’ About Him?) (2006). But his potential biggest claim to fame, will be directing Fame & Fortune, a film based on the book Elvis: Still Taking Care of Business (2007) written by Presley's bodyguard, Sonny West.
