ART Bus takes Gallery Night guests on a wild ride

Published Jan. 18, 2013

Gallery Night and Day is a cultural gem that Milwaukee is lucky to have and other cities are right to envy. But for some - especially those who are in the beginning stages of their art connoisseurship - the scope of the event can be a little daunting. That's where the ART Bus comes in. For the past two years, Jeremy Fojut and his team at ART Milwaukee have been chauffeuring Gallery Night participants all around the city to and from the hottest galleries - but the ART Bus is so much more than just a convenient way to hitch a ride.

The places that have commitment to letting music do the talking are few and far between, led perhaps by Peter Jest and Shank Hall, where you get local and national acts. But another place with a decades long commitment to live music is Linneman's Riverwest Inn on Locust Street.

Published Aug. 21, 2011

In July I met the whirlwind of excitement and energy that is Nancy Martinez, who recently took over as principal at MPS' Kagel pre-K-fifth grade school in Walker's Point. In August, I visited her friend and colleague Tamara Hines, who hopes to provide some stability at Gaenslen School, a pre-K through eighth grade school in Riverwest, where she started as principal on July 1.

A guy, a guitar, a banjo ... and some good, simple music

Published May 18, 2011

When my good friend Colin asked me to go to a bluegrass show with him, I figured "why not." At the very least, it would be a nice change of pace and a chance to get out of my normal routine for a night.

Kellner Greenhouses lives on

Published May 1, 2011

Milwaukee is a city of proud tradition and we have a healthy respect for the history of our people, places and institutions. That's why it's so wonderful to see last weekend's opening of the venerable Kellner Greenhouses, 3258 N. Humboldt Ave., in Riverwest.
