> This will give me a chance to attend the Voodoo training and have a free day to explore Milwaukee.

Ah, Milwaukee. I do a lot of motorcycle endurance rallies, which basically amount to a 24 hour scavenger hunt on a motorcycle (or eleven days worth, like the Iron Butt Rally). During the rally, you look for bonuses that earn you points. The more out of the way it is, the more points it's worth, and the one with the most points wins. The bonuses are always something interesting or unusual, such as the birthplace of Ronald Reagan (somewhere in IL, IIRC) or "CarHenge" in Nebraska, which is a replica of StoneHenge done with cars standing on end.

One bonus in the Minnesota 1000 rally sent me into this bad neighborhood in Milwaukee. I was supposed to describe what was at a street address in this neighborhood. There was a sign for a neighborhood community center next door to the house in question, but other than that, nothing I'd tag as unusual or interesting. So, I wrote down, "community center sign".

I get back to the rally headquarters, and the rally master begins to add up my points. When he got to the Milwaukee bonus, I asked him what the significance was for this house. Remember, the bonuses are supposed to be interesting.

"Oh, that was Jeffrey Dalmer's house."

Ewwww. Anyway, if you'd like to add it to your tour, I can dig up the address. :-)
