Cream City

Excellent choice! Milwaukee means 'pleasant land'. It is a city perfectly situated to serve as a port at the Menomonee River's mouth into the west coast of Lake Michigan. Since early in the city's economy, wheat was shipped out by ship and train giving rise to grain elevator and brewery construction. Tanneries and a brickyard making cream-colored bricks; this Milwaukee's nickname "Cream City" had nothing to do with dairy. Sine then, the city diversified to include more manufacturing infrastructure. Several entertainment options exist for after Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) / Quick Change-Over Training.
