Negotiating Age I have become of the age to be a "Friend." I grew up watching the show through college (and then some, as it seemed to run forever, just like its syndication) and though we all complained that  we had the transient, coffee-shop-waitress kinds of jobs Rachel did, but couldn't&n...

On Being Neighborly I rent. I am happy about that. Ideally, I should be buying as the market plummets, but I am happy in my lower level of a two unit duplex on the west side and my one flat monthly fee.  My upstairs neighbor and his girlfriend have lived there five years already--the house has an appeal, obviou...

Protesting Protest This weekend the Brady Street Festival brought out a huge crowd and in gorgeous weather, it was great to walk among them. Our main event was the drag show on Saturday night. Friends of friends were top performers and I was dismayed to learn that what we thought was "early enough&qu... Posted by cheesebabe74 at 1:56 p.m. | Talkbacks Category: Milwaukee Buzz

Milwaukee honoring its own I'm fairly new to our fair city, and so many parts of the area excite me, but I have to say I'm more than a little amped at the upcoming week of events to honor those who work downtown.

The Beauty of the Bus I used to ride my 12-speed bike to school... to the pool in the summer... to my friends' houses. When I turned 16, my mother made a point to tell me I would not be allowed to have a car "You'll spend all your time working to make the payments, your grades will go down and you'll lose track o...

Making a Quick Study of Milwaukee I grew up all over the Midwest, but met my best friend three weeks into my stay at Millikin University in Decatur, Il. She returned to Decatur after making her world tour of jobs and experiences and is tending her beautiful family there. Recently, they launched an annual family vacation experienc...

A Gem of Journey on the Emerald Isle A long lost relative had reemerged via a strange form letter sent to all members of my family. Phones were a buzz when aunts and uncles exchanged calls all wondering who this Francis was and what did he want with my family? Turns out, the geneology bug doesn't just bite Americans looking ...

Amarillo by Morning I never went to Panama City for spring break as an undergraduate. I was in college too many years and yet, still never participated in that ritual until graduate school. Once started, however, I became insatiable. A best friend and I have adventured all over the country, but our most memor...
