Historic Allouez

Good to see the prodigal beat writer is keeping busy. This is from Sunday and I just got around to reading the whole thing yesterday.

Brett Christopherson column: Vince Lombardi's former Green Bay-area home still a shrine for Green Bay Packers fans

The museum looks like your typical ranch home, a rather unassuming sight as it sits there behind a large front lawn along Sunset Circle, a sleepy stretch of neighborhood road just north of downtown De Pere whose looping path cuts close to the eastern banks of the Fox River and intercepts Riverside Drive at both ends.

Then again, it is a home. Andy lives there. So does his mother, Katie.

And so did Vince Lombardi and his family, back when the legendary coach was busy transforming tiny Green Bay into Titletown and forging his Packers into one of the NFL's great dynasties.

"It's Green Bay's Graceland," Andy, 49, said with a smile.

That's because fans continue to flock to this little slice of Camelot to pay homage to greatness, some choosing only to stare at the red brick of the exterior as they stand there and wonder about the grand stories the inside walls could tell.

Just head over there for an enjoyable read if your a Packer fan. If you're not a Packer fan, just take a little peek into our strange world. Think of it as an anthropological expedition.
