An old neighborhood landmark gets a new lease on life It's a shame that schools like Jefferson, Jackson in the Third Ward, 18th Street and 21st Street have all been erased from the landscape. So, it makes me all the happier when I see what has become of the original Peckham - and, later, Jackie Robinson - Junior High School/Middle School, 3245 N. 37th St. Peckham opened in 1926 and Jackie Robinson closed in 2005. |

Not an ending - a beginning In animal sheltering work, it's easy to think of each adoption as a "happy ending" to that animal's story. That's one way to think about it - but it's just as true to think of it as a "happy beginning." The love that begins between a person and an animal when they leave our shelter often lasts for many years. It doesn't just save the animal's life; it shapes the person's life, forever. |

What's in a password name? At last count, I have about eight active passwords to remember during the course of a regular week. And, every now and then or even fairly often, I get asked to change the password for security's sake. To which I say: "Arrrrrrrghhh!"

On average, the coldest week of the year in southern Wisconsin is roughly Jan 14-20. Beginning now, the average temperature begins its long, painfully slow climb upward. But it is upward! Feel free to consider winter halfway over. |

But there's a lot of activity in this extremely old section of the city. Hence, Historic Milwaukee's "From Controversy to Catalyst," a panel discussion on Thursday, Jan. 17 at Reinhart Boerner Van Deuren s.c. |
