Bubbler History and Etymology
Several stereotypes come to mind when most people think about the Badger State: a penchant for cheese, religious devotion to the Green Bay Packers, and some unique dialectical choices.

It’s nothing new to point out that Wisconsinites use the word “bubbler;” the word was referenced as a “You Know You’re From Milwaukee When…” giveaway in newspapers as far back as the 1960s. But why, exactly, is this term so firmly seared onto Wisconsin tongues?

The Cadillac Three Band and Members Age
Here at Eric Von Schledorn, we’re Cadillac experts; the luxurious nameplate is one of the four main automotive brands we deal in. But sometimes, the concept of Cadillac stretches beyond vehicles.
