BMW has stolen the Milwaukee Art Museum
Call out the architecture police, the building theft squad.

I guess I haven't driven past it recently and therefore didn't realize it was even gone!

I love this spot
It's easy for me to love this new BMW spot. It features the world's best automobile, my favorite city and one of Milwaukee's icons, the Milwaukee Art Museum.

The 40 Days and 40 Nights of 40: Day 18
"There's God."So, I'm driving with my buddy on the way to La Crosse for the big 4-0 getaway.  As blessed as I am, I do drive a BWM Z4 convertible.  Top-down, we were half the way to Madison when the overcast clouds started to break up and beams of light shown down to the land....
