Growing up in the Milwaukee area, and living on the eastside of Milwaukee for the past four years I've come to realize I've been taking this city for granted a bit. Growing up in a suburb right outside of Milwaukee I remember how excited I would be when my parents would take me to Buck's games, resturants downtown and the Milwaukee Public Museum. There always seemed to be so much going on, I loved going downtown night.
Now that I can legally use my own I.D. I'm more concered with finding where I'll be spending my weekends. I joke around that La Fuentes is my second home and Water Street seems to be a weekend staple. I find myself on the same streets I was walking along as a young kid, still excited by all that is going on, the tall buildings that surround me and the atmosphere in general. I think Milwaukee has a lot to offer for anyone, any age.
AARP magazine agrees they named Milwaukee one of the 5 great places to live. To read more on this click here.
What do you like to do in the city?
Do you have any memories of Milwaukee growing up? Let me know.
Stay warm,
Stephanie

It can't touch Harry Potter for scope of popularity but in some pockets of pop culture, the Twilight series has reached Beatlemania in intensity. The "young adult" novels about a handsome teenage vampire boy and the mortal girl who loves him have sold 17
No, we didn't ask for an album featuring another recording of "Breathe," leading into "Time," leading into "Breathe (Reprise)," as happens on tracks two through four on Live in Gdansk. But Pink Floyd completists (we are legion) will want it anyway. Howeve
Jorge "El Guero" Hernandez may be the best-known regional Mexican artist with Milwaukee roots. Most of a decade has passed since he and brother Rogelio moved to San Antonio, but El Guero's Banda Centenario still nurtures a unique take on the often-manic D
The last decade has not been kind to Milwaukee’s German restaurants, as names like Ritter’s Inn, the Bavarian Wurst Haus and even the venerable John Ernst have all closed their doors. In fact, only two of the old-timers remain: the oldest, Mad
If you’re not from Waukesha, you’ll want to check MapQuest for directions, but it’s worth the ride. The Rochester Deli (143 E. Broadway, 262-522-9611), wedged within the labyrinth of downtown Waukesha across from the Freeman offices, is
