Shot Down at Little Bo

.

Sources are telling me there is another big budget 20s-30s period piece in the works, BUT, because Wisconsin no longer has any tax incentives it is going to be filmed in Illinois and Michigan!

Well done Department of Commerce.

I received an email from Kitty from a recien trip to Little Bo. Here is the reprinting

Shot Down at Little Bo

It was going to be a leisurely Tuesday in the Northwoods. Spend the morning prowling around in the woods in search of the White Deer herd near Boulder Junction. Then make a stop at Little Bohemia to lap up some suds; pick up a copy of The Little Bohemia Lodge Chronicle; and find out when in the heck they were going to start the Dillinger Room Tours.

So much for plans. Kitty had been shot down at Little Bo. Even though the huge sign out on Hwy 51 said something about only serving dinner on Tuesdays, I thought "Well, so they're not serving breakfast and lunch today. At least the bar will be open and I can lap a few suds and purchase my souvenirs." I was wrong, as were several other potential patrons who were there when I pulled in and continued to pull in as I was leaving.

It is apparent that the folks at Little Bo have been planning for Public Enemies pilgrimages. Their website has been promoting the Dillinger Room Tours and they have a huge PE banner on the building. Plus they came out with the Chronicle chock full of reproductions of original newspaper clippings as well as some stuff on filming at Little Bo.

Even though they were closed, that didn't stop people from flocking to Little Bo. Many seem thrilled just to be able to walk around outside and go around back to look for the bullet holes. Anyone planning a trip to Little Bo should keep a few things in mind: only dinner is served on Tuesdays (I believe they open at 3 p.m. and start serving at 5 p.m.); the Dillinger Room Tours have begun and the charge is $5; The Little Bohemia Lodge Chronicle is available for $6.

Kitty sent a copy of the Little Bo Lodge Chronicle and it is really cool. A ton of actual Dillinger photos and news stories from that time and reproductions. Not sure how you can get one but it's certainly something you would want if you are collecting Dillinger stuff.

=============================

For ANYBODY that watches Big Brother (American version) seems Chima is now Twittering and she is even more . . . . . . interesting out of the house. In case no one knows what I'm talking about she was the 3rd person to ever be "fired" from playing the game. In fact it was REAL funny when they escorted her out. I guess throwing a $4000 microphone in the pool is not the smart thing.

Of course she claims she left on her own terms (except they had her by the arm and walked her out).

And of course that only leaves two major nut jobs in the BB house. One is Lydia who called Jordon a whore (she is a very sweet girl) but I guess she forgot she "went down" on Jesse after knowing him for 3 weeks (I guess she forgot cameras are on her 24/7 for EVERYBODY to watch?). Jjust showing gratitude I guess.
