We feel your pain: win one of six "Free Recession Buster Getaways" this summer
Summer is a great time to take a vacation. We also know that money is tight, and while you'd love to take a brand new netbook, hop on a plane and get out of town, it's even harder than ever to make a trip for two happen. But we'd like to help. OnMilwaukee.com and AirTran Airways have teamed up to present six "Free Recession Buster Getaways" this summer and fall.

Thanks but no thanks: our least favorite drinks
We all have foods we can't stomach and thanks often to indiscretion there are drinks we'll likely never consume again. Sometimes it's just a flavor we don't like and other times, we enjoyed a flavor a little too enthusiastically and soured on it. While we usually chime in on the things we love most, in honor of Bar Month 2009, the OnMilwaukee.com editorial staff ruminates on the alcoholic beverages that send us running for the door.

Milwaukee Buzz - Feb. 22, 2007
This Bud's not for me
Last week, I posed a simple question to the brewer of Budweiser. Milwaukee-based Miller Brewing Co. had issued a NASCAR challenge to its rival days before. At stake would be the naming rights of the two companies’ Major League Baseball parks for one weekend in 2008.

NFC belongs to the Rams
Yes, now it can be told. With 70 points over the last two games, St. Louis will become the first team to reach 500 in a season three times. Not only will they do so in three consecutive seasons, no other team has done it twice straight.

Six D.C.
I suppose it's time to let you all in on what I plan on doing once I get to D.C.  And that's take pictures.  Thousands of pictures.  On vacation, I'll average about 300 pictures a day, usually pulling out about 40 ones I actually like.  I tote that camera everyw...

Five D.C.
I suppose I should come up with my version of a recession 'sob story' for the recesion buster give away going on here.  Well, for one despite a graduate degree in economics, I am still vastly underemployed.  A part time job at a big corporation because of hiring freezes is an unpleasant...

For D.C.!
Do any of you have a best friend who reached adulthood and decided he wanted to live everywhere else?  Just couldn't accept that Milwaukee ain't so bad?  I have one of those.  My best friend was born within three months of me and lived two doors down for the first six years of our ...

Three D.C.
Before I speak of my best friend, I'd like to mention my girlfriend's best friend.  Odd that both live in D.C. and we both live hear.  Blasted coincidence.  Well, she just got married about 6 months ago.  In Peru.  A wedding we planned on attending.  Now, I don't kno...

Two DC!
Yesterday I spoke of my wonderful and sadly distant Uncle.  Today I thought I might mention my DC cousins.  They're three girls who perfectly compliment my mom's three boys.  My oldest brother is older then them all, my older brother is the same as the oldest cousing, I'm the same ...
