Molly Snyder Edler grew up on Milwaukee's East Side and today, she lives in the Riverwest neighborhood with her husband and two sons.

In 2009, Molly won a Wisconsin Press Club Award.

Her poetry, essays and articles appeared in many publications including The Writer, The Sun Magazine, The Cream City Review, Exquisite Corpse (Cyber Corpse), Magical Blend, Mothering, Literary Mama, AOL, Double Dare Press, Travelocity.com and more.

Molly is featured every Thursday morning at 9:30 a.m. on 102.1 with Kramp & Adler for a "Weekend Preview" segment.

After graduating from UWM in 1995 with a degree in English and Women's Studies, Molly worked as the Membership and Marketing Director at the Downtown YMCA and as the Communications Specialist at Kalmbach Publishing Co. before joining the editorial staff at OnMilwaukee.com in June 2002. It is, hands down, the best job she's ever had -- except for when she worked as a vendette at The Prospect Mall Cinemas in the late '80s and could eat free popcorn while flirting with ushers.

 Shift Switch: Magician's assistant
 My "shift" as magician David Seebach's assistant didn't go exactly as planned. My original goal was to get sawed in halves on stage, but because I am a tad too tall for the trick, Seebach levitated me instead. Now, I can't shake the words of Grandmaster Flash's "White Lines" out of my head ... "get higher, baby, and don't ever come down."

 Brew City's BYOB law needs refreshing
 Wisconsin state law prohibits bars and restaurants from allowing customers to bring in their own wine or beer. Personally, I believe that BYO-friendly restaurants would encourage people to dine out more often. In this economy, it seems like any incentive to seat people at tables is a good idea.
