Comedian Malkoff gets the key to the city
We first met Mark Malkoff when he was living in an AirTran jet for the month of June. Thursday, the comedian / filmmaker returned to town as part of his current project, "Keys to the City." Malkoff is traveling the country and performing community service tasks for mayors in exchange for keys. We caught up with him before stints in Milwaukee and West Allis.

Introducing Milwaukee's Central Park
Treating the Milwaukee River as some sort of natural wilderness area could be a contradiction in terms for most. A coalition of environmentalists, however, sees a scenario of scenic solitude that could soothe the soul of anyone venturing to the valley from North Avenue to Silver Spring Drive.
