  • If you google the address, it’s listed as a “tourist attraction.” Looking at this Bay View building from the street, you wouldn’t know why. The former theater’s façade is nothing special. It’s the rooftop that puts this property on the map.

    Imagine someone in Cleveland, doing this. But the sign would be " *WELCOME TO MILWAUKEE!* "

      I'm originally from Cleveland area, and the suburbs of Olmsted Falls and the Puritas & West Park neighborhoods of Cleveland proper are situated approx 2-3 miles out from the main runways at Hopkins Airport. Those areas would be perfect for welcoming folks to Milwaukee!

    Had to look for it on Google Earth... *It's still there! * . 🤣
    I'm sure everyone now on a plane to Milwaukee would be cranning on their windows looking for this now "famous" Milwaukee landmark.
    Pilot: "Ladies and gentlemen if you look to your right, you will see the "famous" 'Welcome to Cleveland' sign. No, the plane didn't get lost, this is not a flight to Cleveland, we are really in Milwaukee. But if you, are really going to Cleveland and you are on this flight, then it is you who is lost. Thank you for flying [insert airline name]."

      Sadly they won't, because pilots are very busy when trying to land a plane and making a speech like that would be distracting to their important work.
