Brew York City?

I have a special love for Milwaukee, having spent my first 21 years within and near the city limits. Besides being a great town for eating fried foods, drinking local beer and getting your picture taken with the Fonz, Brew Town has become a cinematic hot bed as of late. First, this summer’s atmospheric Johnny Depp vehicle Public Enemies featured a bunch of scenes shot in-and-around MKE (making many a local gal swoon). Now comes word that the latest David Strathairn film (okay, okay, he’s no Depp, but he does have an Oscar nomination under his belt), is shooting on Milwaukee’s historic Brady Street. Apparently, to re-create downtown New York circa 1920, you have to set up shop in the heart of the Midwest.
