Let me explain.
The term bubbler is a quintessential Milwaukee thing. A bubbler is what the rest of the world (except Rhode Island, parts of Connecticut and the Boston area) would call a drinking fountain. The Yoopers also use it, but we all know they are just Wisconsin wannabees anyway.
When I first moved to California, I would use the term and get blank stares in response. The world was a much smaller place then and I had no clue that bubbler was just a regional colloquialism.
I use it as the title of my blog as a way to connect with those that know what it means and hopefully interest those that don't.

About Me
- MaryRuth
- Born in Milwaukee, I moved to Southern California in 1980, with a five-year hiatus in Maui. I now live in Torrance, California with my SO. I design circuit boards, a job I totally love. If I wasn't doing that, I would love to have a small restaurant. Things that make me happy: cooking, eating, music, and vegetating in my backyard.
