Watch the YouTube video “This journey begins with a vintage 1982 Brewers t-shirt I stumbled across, with “Cesar’s Inn” stamped on the back, just another local bar in a town defined by beer…or so I thought. Returning it to its home opened a door back into a time when baseball was raw, local, and romantic.
The last Brewers World Series.

About the Village of West Milwaukee
In over 100 years, the Village went from an industrial “Smoke Stack” community to a diversified thriving community, and the transformation has been incredible. Many of the industrial plants are gone, and in their place, retail and small business establishments have prospered. The Village currently is a blend of residential, commercial, retail and industry.
Beginning in the late 1960’s until the early 1970’s, the Village lost one-third of its housing stock to a proposed freeway that never materialized. The Village began to recover in the 1990’s with redevelopment along what is now Miller Park Way (old 43rd Street).
West Milwaukee is in close proximity to many cultural and athletic ventures. The American Family Field Baseball Complex, home of the Milwaukee Brewers, is within walking distance. The Fiserv Forum, home of the Milwaukee Bucks, as well as the lakefront and Summerfest Grounds are just minutes away to the east via I-94. Traveling west are Wisconsin State Fair, the Pettit Ice Center, and the Milwaukee County Zoo.
