Snaer is on campus

[Gwaki]

Just saw him at the AL.  So ya... he is here this weekend

[Sir Lawrence]

Often I hear concerns about our Milwaukee weather and recruits.  The weather this morning in Milwaukee is superb.  I hope he's out and about right now, because it couldn't be finer.

Somewhere it said that Michael Snaer will be here yesterday (Friday) and today only.  Is that the case, and if so, why isn't he taking the full weekend for the official?

There are time limits per NCAA for official visits.

This is more of curiosity question, but where do recruits stay when they come to campus?  Do they get put up at a hotel?  Would they stay at Humphrey with the team?  Also, a general breakdown of what a visit usually entails would be great. 

If it was anything like my first visit to MU, it would involve a campus a tour with his mom asking questions to the tour guide about alcohol and parties. 

Thanks

Could we ask the slaughterhouse to shut down this weekend, so the smell in the air is just Hopps.

Is the slaughterhouse still around?  I thought it was closed a few years ago as part of the "cleanup" of the valley.

Most of the slaughterhouses are gone.  Cargill still has a meat processing plant in the Menomonee River Valley near Canal street, but the smells have been gone for years.

"The Smell of Death" was always so refreshing early in the morning.

When I attended MU in the early 70s I would walk outside Schroeder on the way to a morning class and instantly know the direction of the winds by the smell; southwest was Red Star Yeast (which was awful BTW), east to north east was hops from the breweries and south east was Ambrosia chocolate....which was by far the best.

I don't remember the slaughter houses smells; was that something that came after that time?

if you play soccer down at valley, or youve played poker at potowatomi, you know that smell isnt gone

[WashDCWarrior]

Wasn't there a tanery down in the valley also?

[Sir Lawrence]

Past tense.  Tanneries are gone.  Stock yards are gone.  I don't know what mudimitri is smelling, but I've been to soccer games at Valley Fields and have not smelled anything, I've been to Potawatomi Casino and have only smelled cigarette smoke emanating from the bingo parlor, I've been to the new Harley Museum, I've been to Sobelman's Pub and Grill, I've been to the new Iron Horse Hotel, and I'm telling you, the smells have been gone for years.

That'd be the river you smell.

[IAmMarquette]

The tannery is gone? I think that was the unpleasant odor that often permeated campus a few years ago (02-06), particularly when the winds were SW. My favorite was always the yeast. Milwaukee at it's best.

We used to joke that we could tell the difference in smell between Miller and Pabst' breweries.   Tanneries on a hot fall day, yum!   Ambrosia rocked.   Also, sometimes the lake smelled foul, so a due east wind was no bargain.     Then there was the smell from Dahmer's apartment.......

[texaswarrior74]

I lived in that building, 808 N 24th, in 73 and 74 for my junior and senior years.

Boy was I shocked a few years back when I saw that Dahmer had lived there several years later......

It puts the lotion on the skin...
It does what it's TOLD!!

[DanceHallPlayer]

The Red Star yeast plant was certainly one of the more pungent odors coming from the Menomonee Valley for years, but one of the worst offenders was the Milwaukee Tallow rendering plant at 7th and Canal, which stopped full operations in 1998.

When Joh Norquist was campaigning to clean up the valley air, he once said: "When Don Mattingly said that 'Milwaukee Stinks,' it was probably Milwaukee Tallow that he was smelling."

And, as a morbid fun fact, Dahmer actually worked at Ambrosia as a "mixer".  I forget, is the casket factory still there in the Valley (not meaning Dahmer's place)?

[AZWarrior]

I lived in Mashuda, all of five blocks away from the site.  What were the years he was "active"?

He moved to the Milwaukee area in 1982, but didn't move to the MU area until 1988, he was arrested in 1991.

Not the same apartment, Dahmer lived at 924 N. 25th St.
