The two own and operate German Glass and Gift Imports in the Town of Richfield, one of the few area stores that sells Christmas decorations all year long. http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/holidays/articles/germanglassandgifts.html http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/holidays/articles/germanglassandgifts.html?21160 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 15:17:00 CST With its iPhone/iPod charger and sync cradle, two powered USB ports and a four-in-one memory card reader, the Griffin Simplifi cleans up cluttered desks. http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/holidays/articles/giftadaygriffinsimplifi.html http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/holidays/articles/giftadaygriffinsimplifi.html?21139 Tue, 15 Dec 2009 11:17:00 CST The Brewers Monday introduced left-hander Randy Wolf, who agreed to a three-year deal worth roughly $31 million. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewersintroducewolf.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewersintroducewolf.html?21135 Mon, 14 Dec 2009 15:03:00 CST Only 10 players on the Brewers' current roster were on the 2008 National League Division Series roster. Considering the nature of baseball today, the turnover isn't that surprising. But combining the veteran experience of Randy Wolf, Greg Zaun and LaTroy Hawkins with the youth of Alcides Escobar and Carlos Gomez around an established core could be a key to success in 2010. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewersrosterturnover.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewersrosterturnover.html?21123 Sun, 13 Dec 2009 15:03:00 CST The schedule is stacked this weekend.

In many ways, the station is a testament to the "golden age" of radio; when stations were part of the civic fabric. http://onmilwaukee.com/movies/articles/wtkmradiohartford.html http://onmilwaukee.com/movies/articles/wtkmradiohartford.html?21044 Fri, 4 Dec 2009 11:00:00 CST Junior point guard Trevon Hughes had 26 points on 9-of-16 shooting to lead Wisconsin to the upset over No. 6 Duke Wednesday night at the Kohl Center.

Wisconsin produces 1.8 million trees each year, a business that pumps more than $50 million into the state economy. http://onmilwaukee.com/market/articles/wisconsinchristmastrees.html http://onmilwaukee.com/market/articles/wisconsinchristmastrees.html?21015 Wed, 2 Dec 2009 16:28:00 CST Water Street's newest watering hole is a small, no-frills bar that prides itself on the basics: stiff drinks, good atmosphere and great customer service. Since opening four weeks ago, general manager Amy Bladow has seen her business improve steadily and is hoping to make her establishment as much of a Water Street legacy as her well-known neighbors. http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/barnonewaterstreet.html http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/barnonewaterstreet.html?21005 Tue, 1 Dec 2009 15:13:00 CST
