“111 Places” is a worldwide guide book series that originated from Cologne, Germany. You might think the number 111 is random but it isn’t accidental. In the city Cologne, the number 11 is considered a lucky number, there is even is a carnival celebration every year that begins on Nov 11 at 11:11 a.m. Since a book that highlighted 11 spots isn’t enough to be considered a guide book, they added another one, making it a total of 111 places. This year the guide book unraveled some known and possibly hidden gems in Milwaukee in their new book, “111 Places in Milwaukee That You Must Not Miss” written by Michelle Madden.
