I mostly agree with dpc, but I've recently been to downtown Racine, and, for a small midwest city, Racine
has a nice downtown. Also, Kenosha has a historic rail streetcar loop downtown, leading to a waterfront park. Both cities have outlets of the best small chain fast food company anywhe Culver's Butterburger. In (Dan Checkman) writes: (NUFC_1892) wrote in message . com... Hello, Im hoping to stay around Winthrop Harbor soon and i have heard about a place called Kenosha. Is there much to do therei.e sightseeing, nightlife, sports?.

I seem to recall seeing signs on the highway for a jelly bean factory that gives tours in the area (I think this is new). Then, there's also some cheese shops in the area and an outlet mall or two. I've never spent the night there, but I seem to recall there are some motels off of the highway. Anyhow, for a tourist, I think extreme boredom would set in after about an hour or two - for sightseeing, you're better off going north to Milwaukee or south to Chicago. -- "There's no such thing as Free Parking!"

Does SC Johnson Wax still offer tours of its buildings in Racine? |

There are several outlet malls for shopping at hwy 50 and I-94. You
may enjoy taking the Metra train to downtown Chicago (about $5.00 each way) and have a lot more to do/see for a day trip. If you are into barbershop quartet singing, Kenosha is home to the spebsqsa The Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barbershop Quartet Singing in America. (usual disclaimer) I'm not a barbershop singer, just heard of it. (NUFC_1892) wrote in message . com...
