Some additional: Milwaukee

743 N. 4th was a hotel and above it was rented office space, cubicals for salesmen with a shared receptionist. Across the street was the Clock Lounge with Claude Dorsey on the piano. That would be the even side of the street, bar and restaurant.

Haven't been down there in years and that wouldn't matter because the hotel is gone and so is the other side of the street. West side is now part of the whole block which is the Midwest Airlines Center. The old bars and restaurants on the East side of 4th street are now an office building and a business college.

Monoqua, Wisconsin is one of the old resort towns along the railroad lines that carried people up from IL, and I suppose the lower parts of Wisconsin. I'm pretty sure that many of the resorts had gambling, although I missed it and was too young to understand. Also my Aunt talked about her place, in Three Lakes, in the 20s and going to the bars. Now I realize that it would have been a speakeasy or moonshine. (yum!) I haven't tracked down anything from the Northernaire which was a very popular and large resort on the way North.

Train ran through Antigo about 60 miles South of Monoqua. From Antigo through Three Lakes and Eagle River, 11 miles further North. Story is that when the surveyor was planning the rail lines, he made a notation why the tracks went West at that point. "Three Lakes" which is now a chain of 27 lakes and the largest inland chain of lakes in the world. Thus, why it because a place for vacationing and fishing. The Upper chain of lakes were actually created when the dam was put in for the Burnt Rollways reservoir system in 1911. (that's a persons name, not that they burned them)

Lac Vieux Desert Casino, Watersmeet MI is about 37 miles North of Monoqua or Three Lakes, different routes.
