Clock is ticking for decision on Hoan Bridge
It's been a semi-charmed kind of life for the Hoan Bridge, the yellow-arched icon of Milwaukee's Lakefront. But time could be running out for the Hoan Bridge.

As we arrived at the Friday Fish Fry and a Flick at Discovery World, we could see the Masterpiece car show at Veteran's Park and a wine tasting event just across the road from us at Milwaukee Art Museum.
