| Ready to rumble - One potato, two potato . . . The countdown has begun for the grand opening of Milwaukee ’s newest industrial-strength showplace, the Harley–Davidson Museum .
Even if the first thought that comes to your mind when you think of a hog is a pork chop, a trip to Milwaukee ’s newest museum is likely to give you a surprising kick start. The Harley-Davidson Museum is everything you'd expect and more in a showplace fondly assembled by the proud, 105-year-old Milwaukee manufacturing company that can make burly, grizzled men practically mist up when they hear the distinctive rumble of its engines. The museum, a mere one or two potatoes south of downtown, makes for a fun visit. There's plenty to see and touch via a number of cool, interactive displays. The grand opening is Saturday. Originally, the plan was to put this museum in the Park East corridor. Truth is, it fits so much better here, on 20 reclaimed acres in the Menomonee Valley , at one time the industrial backbone of blue-collar Milwaukee . Once, the valley was a gritty place of rail yards, stockyards, rendering plants and other hard-core industries, a place you went to only if you had to. But gritty's given way to green. Folks still come to the valley to make their living, due in no small part to new employers like pizza maker Palermo Villa Inc., But thanks to the expanded Potawatomi Bingo Casino and now the Harley-Davidson Museum , the valley is also a bona fide tourist destination. That double duty shows Milwaukee does indeed have an economic future, even beyond downtown's boundaries. s. Back to the museum: Its imposing, heavily functional exterior and interior design lets you know immediately this isn't industrial chic, but like a Harley itself, the genuine article. The museum includes two restaurants, meeting space and a gift shop. Besides a collection of vintage, contemporary and famous Harleys, including the one a young singer named Elvis Presley purchased in 1956, the museum also features a mother lode of fascinating memorabilia that underscores the link between this Milwaukee company and the history of this nation. Not forgotten is the allure of bikes and especially Harleys to restless young men in the 1950s, many of them World War II vets, some of whom went on to form motorcycle gangs. But that image no more defines a Harley than a brat defines Milwaukee . Starting Saturday, you can find out for yourself. |
