Hi! We’re Ricky and Maria—Wisconsin locals with deep roots in the community. I’m originally from Milwaukee, and Maria is a proud Racine native. We met at the University of Wisconsin–Parkside back in 2006 and have been together ever since. Today, we live in Racine with our three amazing kids. I run a plastic fabrication company in Milwaukee, and Maria is a kindergarten teacher right here in town.
While Racine sometimes flies under the radar, we absolutely love it. It’s a true melting pot with strong community pride, beautiful diversity, and a supportive spirit—especially during our beloved local parades and sports rivalries! Whether it’s cheering on Wisconsin teams, watching movies with our kids, or hosting a game night, we’re happiest doing the simple things together as a family.
Hosting gives us the chance to share the best of Racine with guests—its charm, its people, and its hidden gems. We created Main Street Belle to offer a space that’s welcoming, comfortable, and filled with the kind of warmth we value in our own home. We hope you feel it the moment you walk through the door.
