get your fixx

Frozen custard: it's a Milwaukee staple. There are state-reknown (and perhaps even Midwest-reknown) custard stands all across the metro area. The stands that everyone's heard of? Kopps. Gilles. Leons. Oscars. Admittedly, I have been to all of them on more than one occassion.

However, there is one custard place that seems to get lost in the shuffle. But to us east side dwellers, it's the place to get our fixx...our Lixx Fixx.

Lixx, on the corner of Belleview and Downer, has been a cornerstone of the upper east side for as long as I've been in Mil-town. The great thing about Lixx: you can create your own Fixx from a list of numerous ingredients from heath bar to blueberry to peanut butter...well, you get the point. Of course, my mom went with her standard rasberry. My personal fave...cinnamon apple bits and caramel.

You really can't go wrong with a Lixx Fixx. It's a delicious treat for people...and canines...of all ages. Just ask Caye.
