The Milwaukee Public Market will open its doors to shoppers on Mondays, beginning April 16.

The catalytic project for Downtown, located in the Historic Third Ward, has undergone a few changes since I posted this story on Feb. 15. In one suggestion, I wrote: "Open earlier and while I'm at it, open on Mondays, too." My wish has been granted. Thank you.

In other Public Market news, vendors report that the outdoor portion of the market (on Saturdays this summer beginning May 26) will move to the sunnier side of the building (St. Paul) and will extend along Broadway, the strip that now houses boutiques and stores but was once Milwaukee's Commission Row for produce. It should be a wonderful return to the neighborhood's past. Personally, I can't wait and will keep you updated on other Public Market news (possibly some new vendors) as we hear it.

Now, get to the market and do some shopping.
