Help us bring back Homer
Earlier this week, we blogged about the existence of a unique and adorable piece of public art, a Homer Simpson portrait on the corner of Homer and Williams Streets. The DPW still has the sign and tells us there are ways to bring it back.

D'oh! Homer portrait finds his way onto street sign
We don't know how it got there or how long it will last, but we have photographic evidence that a strangely official looking portrait of Homer Simspon now adorns the street sign pole on the corner of Williams and Homer Streets (of course) in Bay View.

New bowling ball bling and jewelry adorn Riverwalk
Decorative jewelry began to pop up along Milwaukee's Riverwalk last night. Individual earring-like pieces on harp lights, huge steel rings, necklaces on the bridge houses and a series of brooches for selected buildings and balconies are all in the works.
