Kelly's in the O.C.

The owner of Kelly's Bleachers bars wants to open a new establishment at the former Ray Bussler's, 10276 S. 27th St. Karlis A. Vecitis has plans to remodel much of the building for a bar and restaurant. The east end of the building would get demolished and a new addition would house a kitchen, restrooms and bar areas. The plans already came before the Oak Creek Plan Commission, but commissioners said they wanted to see architects upgrade the building's exterior design. The item was held over and will be discussed again at the Tuesday, Oct. 23 commission meeting. Vectis wants to add an outdoor patio with a stone wall around it, refinish the building exterior with cement board siding, repave the parking lot, replace the gravel with greenspace and add a volleyball court east of the building. The 1.2 acre site has been vacant for a few years, city staff said. Kelly's Bleachers bars already operate on Blue Mound Road in Milwaukee and in Wind Lake.

Back to Business

So today I went to my 41 Brewer game of 2007, 40th at Miller Park. The pregame ceremonies included practicing watching the 40th Brewer game with headphones the day before (honestly, I'm not really worried if I miss a Badger game), sacrificing a pizza to the football gods Saturday night, discussing various portable tv purchases with TC at 9:30am, calling TC back at 9:31am stating that we are definitely wearing headphones to drown out the Packer score, and then finally walking up to Miller park with headphones on to avoid hearing any of the Packer game on the walk in.

During the game, we had to endure 3 tv's tuned to the Packer game in front of us, the women behind us questioning our headphones and pretty much the overall strategy, the random fan cheering of a ball 3 to Weeks around 3pm, and then a nervous walk back to the car with a game time decision to get a pizza at a gas station to avoid the risk of finding out the score. All and all, we got back and watched the taped Packer game with some idea of what happened, but unsure of the score or outcome. What's better: 421 TD's or 4-0 start? I tell you what, 422TD's and a 4-0 start.

Tim, put a link to the Favre TD database (http://data.jsonline.com/sports/favre/). Also, podcast. Never understood it until today. You can listen to the Doug and OB without the commercials (http://www.670thescore.com/The-Jiffy-Lube-Post-Game-Show/923116). I just listened to the 9/24 broadcast in its entirety, and last 10 minutes is OB's tribute to Brett Favre (its awesome, I highly recommend it).

Oh yeah, the Brewers won too.
