Ain’t No Arby’s Like a Riverwest Arby’s - Scottie 1.15

Speaking of...

Milwaukee's Riverwest neighborhood is weird. A very specific kind of weird. A community-orientated weird. That's the focus of this episode. It's a celebration of the neighborhood's weirdness and the glorious intrigue that comes with it. We explore what makes the Riverwest Arby's the best in all the land, a mysterious talkline poster that started popping up around town and an overlooked historical plaque that celebrates Milwaukee's founding mother.
