The city celebrates its status as the birthplace of Harley-Davidson motorcycles, a high-powered global symbol of American freedom, as the GOP Convention shortly rolls into town.
Delegates to the Republican National Convention say they’re fueled by positive vibes and energy — and some plan to make the Harley-Davidson Museum a key stop during the celebrations and events.
Milwaukee “isn’t necessarily a place where many of our delegates have been before,” Jessica Patterson, chair of the California GOP, said in a release, adding that she wants delegates to get a feel for Milwaukee’s history and culture.
Among other stops, the California delegation’s tour of Milwaukee history will include a luncheon at the Harley-Davidson Museum, according to the release. Fox News Digital reached out to the company and to the museum for additional comment.

The showcase of American motorcycle heritage opened 16 years ago, on July 12, 2008. It’s proven a destination for motorcycle enthusiasts and non-riders interested in American heritage.
The three-building complex on 20 acres contains over 450 Harley-Davidson motorcycles and hundreds of thousands of artifacts from Harley-Davidson’s history, according to the company.
“The Harley-Davidson Museum tells more than the story of a motorcycle brand,” reports travel website wandertooth.com.
“It tells the story of Milwaukee and – it’s really hard to write this in a way that doesn’t sound completely cheesy — of the American Dream.“
The museum celebrates the company’s influence on popular cultural and American heritage and also chronicles the dramatic story of the brand, which often teetered on the brink of disaster.

Harley-Davidson was founded in Milwaukee in 1903 by William Harley and partners and brothers Arthur, Walter and William Davidson.
Harley and the Davidson boys grew up neighbors and friends. Harley and Arthur Davidson were both bicycle enthusiasts and mechanics.
They began tinkering with small internal combustion engines. They put motors on bicycles – their first Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Harley-Davidson, the museum notes, sold just three motorcycles in 1905.
Harley-Davidson produced 163,000 bikes in 2023, making it one of the world’s largest motorcycle companies. It brought in more than $5.8 billion in revenue, according to reports from the now publicly traded company.

More dramatically than just the raw numbers, Harley-Davidson motorcycles have grown into a muscular symbol of the United States and the freedom of its open roads.
Harley-Davidson’s image of rugged American individualism makes it a favorite among freedom-loving GOP politicians and supporters.

Sen. Joni Ernst, an Iowa Republican, co-founded the Senate Motorcycle Caucus in 2017, hosts an annual “Roast and Ride” charity fundraiser and political rally each year, and has said that driving her Harley-Davidson on an open highway is “a great stress reliever.”
Republican former Vice President Mike Pence is often seen riding a Harley-Davidson wearing cowboy boots, blue jeans and a leather vest. He named his new puppy Harley while serving as VP in 2017.

The Republican Party was founded in Ripon, Wisconsin, in 1854, forged from a coalition of political forces to oppose the advance of slavery in the American West.
The Republican Party held its first national convention in Pittsburgh in 1856. Then, at its next national convention, it nominated Abraham Lincoln for president in 1860.
All told, the RNC is expected to bring more than 50,000 visitors to Milwaukee, according to the city itself. The convention runs from Monday, July 15, 2024, to Thursday, July 18, 2024.

Commercial space flight is becoming more and more common, with companies including SpaceX, Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic all transporting paid customers into space over the last several years.
People interested in seeing the earth from an unusual vantage point may soon have another option. CNBC spoke to three startups — France-based Zephalto, Florida-based Space Perspective and Arizona-based World View — that aim to hoist tourists to the stratosphere using pressurized capsules and massive gas-filled balloons.
“The capsule itself is designed to to carry eight customers and two crew into the stratosphere,” said Ryan Hartman, CEO of World View. “There will be a center bar where people can gather, and then, of course, there will be a bathroom aboard the capsule.”
The balloon rides will last around 6 hours, but will nottake passengers all the way to space. Most will reach heights of 15 to 19 miles above the earth’s surface, flying in an area known as the stratosphere. The start of space is generally accepted by the U.S. government to be around 80 kilometers, or about 50 miles, above the earth’s surface.
Jane Poynter, founder and co-CEO of Space Perspective, has a differing view.
“There is no universal definition of space,” Poynter said. “We are regulated as a spaceship. If we go over 98,000 feet, we are a spaceship. Outside the capsule, it’s essentially a vacuum. We’re above 99% of Earth’s atmosphere, which is why the sky is so deep black.”
Compared to rocket-powered space tourism, the physical sensation that passengers will experience on a stratospheric balloon ride is more comparable to being on an airplane. Passengers will not experience weightlessness.
“We don’t need any physical requirements to board the balloon,” said Vincent Farret d’Astiès, the founder and chief pilot at Zephalto. “If you can board a standard plane, you can board the balloon.”
All three companies told CNBC that they were pleased with consumer interest. World Views says it sold 1,250 tickets so far while Space Perspective has sold 1,800. Zephalto did not tell CNBC how many tickets it sold, but said its initial flights were fully booked.
Ticket prices range from $50,000 per seat with World View to around $184,000 with Zephalto. Space Perspective sells tickets to its experience for $125,000 per seat. That’s all assuming commercial service gets off the ground.
Only Zephalto has performed crewed tests so far, though not at the company’s target altitude of about 15 miles above the earth’s surface.

CNBC spoke to three of them, France-based Zephalto, Florida-based Space Perspective and Arizona-based World View. The balloon trips wouldn’t take passengers all the way into space but the companies said passengers would be able to experience the “overview effect,” a common, highly emotional phenomenon felt by astronauts when they see the earth against the blackness of space.
Hong Kong Harbourfront Event Attracts Record Number of Tourists
HONG KONG, July 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The “100% DORAEMON & FRIENDS” exhibition opens its doors today in Tsim Sha Tsui’s K11 art and cultural district, attracting a record-breaking crowd. The event, featuring the beloved 1969 manga character, Doraemon, underscores Hong Kong’s emerging status as a cultural hub.
Tourists flood to see the Doraemon exhibition
The exhibition, held at the renowned Avenue of Stars, drew a significant influx of visitors to the Tsim Sha Tsui promenade. The event kicked off with a “blue” carpet at the Avenue, leading to large-scale Doraemon sculptures scattered both indoors and outdoors. According to K11 spokesperson, the footfall marked an impressive increase compared to the usual traffic.
The centrepiece of the exhibition was a 12-meter inflatable Doraemon, touted as the world’s tallest. The magnitude of the attraction highlights Hong Kong’s commitment to hosting grand cultural events.
This event is a part of Hong Kong’s broader strategy to capitalise on the ‘Mega Events Economy.’ Since 2022, the city has been actively strategising to establish itself as a hub for major cultural gatherings. Government officials stress that such events are vital for boosting tourism and invigorating the local economy. High-profile events, like Art Basel Hong Kong, attest to the city’s expanding influence in the cultural IP landscape.
According to the officials, these mega events, strategically leveraging popular culture, aim not only to draw tourists but also to stimulate local spending, benefiting sectors from retail to hospitality. Reports indicate that one tourist at the exhibition plans to spend a substantial sum on their trip, reflecting the broader economic benefits tied to such cultural attractions.
Adrian Cheng, Founder of K11 and a strong advocate of cultural exchange, remarked on the event: “This exhibition exemplifies the substantial economic impact that cultural IP can bring to Hong Kong. It’s a vibrant demonstration of how the fusion of culture and commerce can energise our city’s economy.”
Janet, a visitor who travelled from the Philippines, said, “I knew I had to come to Hong Kong when I first heard about the exhibition. It’s always wonderful to see your favourite childhood character in ‘real life’. We rarely get events like this at home, so I’m ready to spend HK$15,000 on merchandises and other Doraemon experiences that comes with the show.”
While merchandises are flying off the shelves at the promenade, adjacent to the exhibition at K11 MUSEA, the restaurant is drawing in locals and travellers with its Doraemon-themed set menu. Another restaurant operator, LUDBUDS F&B Group, which runs several restaurants in the Tsim Sha Tsui area, also has similar offerings.
“The exhibition has clearly brought more tourists and families to Tsim Sha Tsui. It opens up the opportunity to attract customers with our Doraemon set menu,” said Berfa Chow, Chief Operating Officer of LUBUDS F&B Group Ltd. Chow estimates that the revenue will increase by 30-40% during the event period.
Hotel stays generated by the event are also seeing a boost. Casper Tsui, Executive Director of the Federation of Hong Kong Hotel Owners, said, “The Doraemon exhibition, which runs across July and August, coincides with other large-scale exhibitions such as the Book Fair and Animation-Comic-Game Hong Kong. Additionally, there will be an exhibition football match featuring a La Liga team in Hong Kong. This series of events is expected to attract overnight visitors from the region and boost hotel occupancy rates. Occupancy rate of hotels in prime locations is expected to reach 80-90%, with hotels with special themes likely more.
As Hong Kong continues to curate and host innovative, large-scale cultural events, it solidifies its reputation as a premier destination for global cultural exchange. The DORAEMON exhibition is more than just an attraction; it embodies the city’s strategic economic and cultural vision.
K11 Founder Adrian Cheng, said, “The ‘100% DORAEMON & FRIENDS’ exhibition is not only a mega event for the city and the region, but also a prime example of cultural IP exchange. It successfully brings the iconic Japanese cultural IP to Hong Kong and spotlights other anime-inspired figures and Hong Kong film stars celebrated on the Avenue of Stars. This exhibition reflects Hong Kong’s status as East-meets-West Centre for International Cultural Exchange, which will continue to boost our tourism, F&B, and retail industries, generating both popularity and economic prosperity.”

A man is celebrating the success of his small restaurant after opening for the 10th summer in a row — in his backyard.
Panikos Panayiotou, 44, is a father of three from Walsall, England, who runs and operates a Greek restaurant out of a semi-detached structure in his backyard.
The sports development manager by day opened Lakis Greek Kitchen in 2014 — an idea that originated from his late father, Lakis Panayiotou.
The elder man was in the process of building his own backyard Greek restaurant when he passed away due to small cell lung cancer in 2012, according to SWNS.
Panayiotou told Fox News Digital that to honor his father and his Greek heritage, he decided he would make this happen himself. It took five months, he said via email.
Panikos Panayiotou, pictured here, opens the Lakis Greek Kitchen for six weeks of the year and donates most of the proceeds to charity. (SWNS)
“I built it in memory of my father, who passed away from cancer. He tried to start it — [but he] built half a restaurant in his garden [and then] passed away before it could be finished,” he also said to SWNS.
He added, “My father always wanted to run a traditional Greek taverna from his home, and so it’s a way of keeping his memory alive and raising much-needed money for charity.”
He told Fox News Digital that what makes the restaurant special to him is “the ability to serve people through the love of food in memory of my father and to help local people in need.”
Panayiotou said he opened the restaurant to honor his late Greek father, who always had a dream to do just that. (SWNS)
Since the start, the Panayiotous have donated nearly $70,000 to local charities.
Panayiotou keeps the restaurant — which can hold about 75 customers — open for six weeks each year.
He and his wife, Michelle, volunteer their time and efforts to prepare for the crowd while a volunteer chef from a local hotel comes in to cook the food.
Panayiotou also told Fox News Digital that his three children, ages 13, 12, and 8, also help out at the restaurant.
People will visit the restaurant from the United States, the owner said, and book a table two months out (SWNS)
“My daughter is in the kitchen. My boys run an LGK (Lakis Greek Kitchen) shop, which sells Greek oil, olives and other produce that helps with our fundraising,” he said.
Their signature dish is lamb kleftiko.
Additionally, his children also help with prep and serving the customers.
Their signature dish is a lamb kleftiko dish. The marinated lamb and potatoes are slowly cooked for 8 to 12 hours, according to SWNS.
The restaurant also serves desserts such as baklava, coconut cake and a Greek chocolate rock cake called Doukissa.

Panayiotou told SWNS that the restaurant opens its reservations two months in advance and within a few hours, the tables are about 80% full.
Panayiotou said that luckily his neighbors don’t mind the large crowds — and that some visitors even come from the United States to visit the unique restaurant.
