Description: Rockwell Clock Tower • Allen-Bradley Polish Moon • MKE, WI: Milwaukee is home to the largest four-faced clock tower in the U.S. The Allen-Bradley Clock Tower, nicknamed the Polish Moon because of its proximity to a historically Polish neighborhood, was the largest of its kind in the world (bigger than Big Ben) until the Abraj Al-Bait Towers were built in 2010.

Description: It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.
Description: White Tower Hamburgers was a fast food restaurant chain that was founded in 1926 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. With its similar white fortress-like buildings and menu it is considered to be an imitator of White Castle chain that was founded in 1921. The chain was successful and expanded to other cities, including Chicago, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Detroit, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New York City, Albany, Boston and as far south as Richmond, Virginia. During the Great Depression, White Tower sold hamburgers for five cents. The whiteness of the restaurant was meant among other things to evoke the notion of hygienic conditions, and the chain had staff dressed as nurses, dubbed the "Towerettes," to help make this argument.
