Join Waukesha resident Brien Lee and his blog, Sir Fido, as they explore the city and report on the interesting things they find.
Saturday evening was as beautiful as the day was warm - some trees still in bloom and not too many bugs yet. Grandview Blvd. is still under construction so, besides more things to see and investigate, it's also a lot quieter as it's closed to through traffic.
The expansion of the Eagles Club on Grandview coincided with the road construction and, even though the Boulevard will take several more months, the grand re-opening of the club was this Saturday. Passersby can now look right into the bar area through the many large windows to watch players at two pool tables and bar patrons as they watch the large screen T.V.. The new building has a clean, well-lit appearance - an airy aerie.
Two long time Eagle Aerie 453 members, Don and Cindy Jansta, have run the parish rummage sale at my church forever and Cindy's outstanding volunteerism and citizenship has earned her a spot in Wisconsin's 2006 Eagles Hall of Fame, one of only three in the state. I've been told that it takes years of applications for most inductees but Cindy's many years of helping others have spoken for themselves and she was awarded the distinction on her first effort. Way to go Cindy!
