Che Cosa Significa CC5C?

Benvenuti amici!

Why Cream City Cinquecento Club/Città Crema Cinquecento ClubIt's about time I break down the name of the club for those not in-the-know. First, allow me to concede the name, in Italian words, is not meant to be grammatically correct... it is stylistically correct. Grammatically correct, the name would read something like "Club Cinquecento di Città della Crema". We took artistic license in order to stylistically bring the Italian & English in alignment. With that bit of business out of the way

Cream CityCream City brick is a cream or light yellow-colored brick made from a clay found around Milwaukee WI, in the Menomonee River Valley and on the western banks of Lake Michigan. These bricks were one of the most common building materials used in Milwaukee during the mid and late 19th century, giving the city the nickname "Cream City" and the bricks the name "Cream City bricks". Cream City bricks were widely exported, making their way not only to American cities such as Chicago and New York, but also to Western & Central Europe.


Città [chi-tA] - (Italian) city, borough, town, capital, metropolis, urban center

Crema ['kreimə]- (Italian) cream

Cinquecento [chìngkwə chéntō]- (Italian) literally, five hundred, from cinque five (from Latin quinque) + cento hundred, from Latin centum


Club [klub] - an association of persons for some common object usually jointly supported and meeting periodically; also : a group identified by some common characteristic

Proper runabouts incite enthusiastic rallies

So, there it is. Now, you are aware what you and/or a loved one has gotten yourself/you into. This is going to be a blast and I am glad you, with your famiglia (including your 'cento), are along for the ride. Based on the number (twenty) of confirmations we received during the past two weeks, we suggest showing up a bit earlier than noon ~ if you intend to use the wash station and have your fluids/tire pressure checked. 


Happy Friday! See you tomorrow...
