Is it a creative, artistic expression?

An innovative way to feed the seagulls?

Maybe even a small way to assist those who are hungry?

Heck, maybe it’s just littering. Simply garbage and an easy, lazy way to discard last night’s bakery?

No matter what, Downtown Milwaukee has a steady stream of bagel and breadcrumb drops. Several residents in the neighborhood tell me that streets and bridges are regularly laced with bakery items several times a week. And it’s been happening for months.

One resident told me that the trails of bagels "go in spurts." Sometimes every other day, then nothing for a couple weeks.

Bread or bagels often line Mason Street, the Wisconsin Avenue bridge, the Wells Street bridge and many parts of the Riverwalk.

"They always look fresh," added the resident who didn't want to be named.

What’s up with this, Milwaukee? Is it a coordinated, ongoing effort?

Curious minds want to know.
