AMERICA'S BOWLING CAPITAL
You're in Milwaukee, so you probably should just do it: bowl. The city once had
more than 200 bowling alleys, and many retro lanes still hide in timeworn dives. To
get your game on try Landmark Lanes ( www.landmarklanes.com ; 2220 N Farwell Ave; per
game $2.50-3.50; 5pm-1:30am Mon-Thu, noon-1:30am Fri-Sun; ) , offering 16 beat-up al-
leys in the historic 1927 Oriental Theater. An arcade, three bars and butt-cheap
beer round out the atmosphere.

DON'T MISS
RACING SAUSAGES
It's common to see strange things after too many stadium beers. But a group of gi-
ant sausages sprinting around Miller Park's perimeter - is that for real? It is if it's
the middle of the 6th inning. That's when the famous 'Racing Sausages' (actually
five people in costumes) waddle onto the field to give the fans a thrill. If you don't
know your encased meats, that's Brat, Polish, Italian, Hot Dog and Chorizo vying
for supremacy.
Information
The East Side neighborhood near the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has several
