Tough times appear to have hit the Milwaukee holiday signage fun, it seems, with a seasonal neon favorite absent this year.

But, thankfully, the The Iron Horse Hotel – also in the Valley – albeit right on the edge, at 500 W. Most recently, the band contributed tracks to a UK vinyl/CD tribute to the Redskins and collaborated on a track with Italian novelist Enrico Remmert. The Yell Leaders were named the best unsigned band in their region by VH-1 as part of its Rock Across America 1998 Tour. For a number of years, Extra Space Storage, in the shadow of the Marquette Interchange at 999 W. This, to the disappointment, surely, of commuting drivers who could use a little smile. Vernon Ave., in the Menomonee Valley, would turn off the initial “S” in its big red SELF STORAGE sign, to advertise ELF STORAGE for the season.

and globally should help the company in delivering revenue growth in the second half of fiscal 2023 and beyond. Beyond fiscal 2023, the adjusted EBITDA margin should continue to benefit from higher volume leverage from sales growth, gross margin expansion, and leverage generation from non-marketing SG&A expenses. Turning to adjusted EBITDA, the company delivered adjusted EBITDA of $27 million, up 47% versus last year and the adjusted EBITDA margin was 22.3%, up 220 bps Y/Y.

In the second quarter, the company raised its outlook for marketing spending, which should help attract and engage new and existing consumers and increase market share in the second half of fiscal '23. Looking forward, I am optimistic about the company's ability to deliver revenue growth in the second half of fiscal '23 and beyond. The third driver is the company's ability to attract and engage consumers through digital-first marketing. Moreover, the value proposition and innovations at reasonable prices have led the brand to gain market share among millennials and Gen X. Looking forward, the company should be able to deliver revenue growth, benefitting from healthy demand due to trade downs and increased consumption rates, the pipeline of new innovations, and retail space gains domestically and globally. The company focuses on five key areas or strategic imperatives to attract healthy demand for its brand and deliver revenue growth. The company constantly delivers new innovations in its seven segments - brushes, primers, setting sprays, eyeshadows, concealers, bronzers, and sponges - which has helped it gain market share in these categories over the last several years. Furthermore, in the second quarter, the company was able to gain retail space both domestically and internationally, which should further help in market share gain.

David Berenbaum chats exclusively to RadioTimes.com about writing the script for the most enduring Christmas film of the last 20 years.

"When it played in theatres out here for the years, I would take my kids to go see it and that was fun to share with them," he responds. I had grown up watching The Godfather, and to think that James Caan was going to be in this movie was kind of insane to me. "I mean, clearly, there was an energy and electricity there that you can feel," he recalls. "When I heard that James Caan was going to be playing Walter I thought that was a stroke of genius," he explains. "I mean, there have been discussions over the years," he says. It was, you know, it was always sort of light on its feet – it was very much something that Disney was considering making for a while because I was employed at Disney at the time. So to see him inhabit that role and really bring it to life was amazing, I mean he would do an ad lib and he would go here and there – he would take it in unexpected directions and he has such an infectious energy that really just brought the entire thing to life." Regardless of what the original version of the film might have looked like, it can't be denied that Ferrell put his own distinctive stamp on the script as soon as he got his hands on it. And then right after that the option expired, it was picked up by another company for another year and went down a development road, and nothing happened with that." Indeed, in those first days of putting pen to paper, Ferrell was hardly on Berenbaum's radar at all – he was only just getting started on Saturday Night Live – but fast forward a few years and it was the star himself who played a key role in getting the film the green light following a number of false starts. Buddy is sort of a misfit, he doesn't fit in – Rudolph is sort of a misfit, he doesn't fit in. So that was sort of the beginning of that – Rudolph mixed with a healthy dose of Big, the Tom Hanks movie."

While Elf is a fish out of water story about Buddy trying to find and connect with his real father, Elf 2 was intended to be more of a character study. Despite this, Will Ferrell has maintained that his sole issue with an Elf 2 is this idea of turning the character into a dad adjusting to suburbia. In [his words](https://www.bravotv.com/watch-what-happens-live-with-andy-cohen/season-10/episode-108/videos/after-show-will-ferrell-pleads): The story took place an indeterminate number of years after the original and was centred on the now-married Buddy and Jovie, along with their 10-year-old daughter Susie. The holiday comedy was sort of a lightning-in-a-bottle moment – the filmmakers and actors involved with Elf all went on to achieve massive success and the movie itself has since gained the status of a modern Christmas classic. And although an official Elf 2 seemed like an inevitability, Ferrell himself ultimately decided that no amount of money in the world would be worth donning the yellow tights a second time around.

“This is a departure for both me and the director,” he said. “This is a funny script and it’s going to be a funny film. “You could never be too sure what lay ahead, because he was on the road such a lot. But this will be a big hit.” My dad taught me how there has to be a right place and right time. “There is a huge difference between wanting to work and having to work,” he said. There was a gloomy atmosphere away from the bright lights of the film set. “So is it scary to be doing it? “This is how movies are,” he shrugged. “And it’s a nightmare dying my hair every week, because my true colour is actually black,” she said. Actor Jon Favreau, directing the film, was trying to make the best of things. “There is so much that can go wrong,” he said.
