Ma Fischer’s Restaurant

We lived in Milwaukee for over thirty years. There are a lot of places we frequented for breakfast. One of them was Ma Fischer's located on the East Side. This area was also known to us because my hair stylist had a shop just up the street. Palermo Villa was a favorite - we had my husband’s surprise 50th birthday party there. I don’t think it’s around any more. And one of the best pizza places by far was Pizza Man. Unfortunately it burned down after we moved, but it was rebuilt and there are now three locations. And of course, the Oriental Theater is located just next door. We were there all the time - maybe every week - to catch independent and other movies. So while we are visiting in the old home town this week, we decided to walk over to Ma Fischer’s for old time sake. We are staying at Park Lafayette Towers and it’s just a block or two away. The neighborhood has changed - like most places - there are new apartment complexes and shops. St. Mary’s Hospital now belongs to Ascension, formerly Wheaton Franciscan - my old employee. The weather is gloomy with storms all day. But to see Ma Fischer’s was a treat.
