From gun control to the Packers to Gov. Scott Walker's State of the State address, Patch bloggers weighed in on a variety of topics this week. Here is a look at some of the most popular posts over the past week.

Blog posts in Wisconsin Patches this past week covered the gamut — from gun control to unions and the Junior PGA coming to Milwaukee.

I think the disclaimer should also read Best LENTEN Fish Fry since the dates of availability are somewhat limited. I happen to enjoy fish fries all year long. Congrats to St. Al's for winning this unscientific poll.   more ›
