It's simple in stuff. Cities need bike lanes, roads, side walks, taxis, rail, trolleys, busses and other forms of transit to move people from here to there. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/transitbalance.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/transitbalance.html?33800 Thu, 16 May 2013 15:02:00 CDT ART Milwaukee's Jeremy Fojut is leading a new charge in Milwaukee, one full of creativity and passion.

Oddly, though, I rarely see people sitting in these Adirondack chairs. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/adirondack.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/adirondack.html?33788 Wed, 15 May 2013 15:00:00 CDT Kudos to Allison Miller who, via Facebook, posted this awesome class project of Milwaukee "super hero" Milverine. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/dayinmilverine.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/dayinmilverine.html?33775 Tue, 14 May 2013 16:01:00 CDT I generally like shopping, and I appreciate good stuff, great service and cool design. Yet, like most, I also love a good deal. So, indulge me - this retail week - if you will, here are eight random observations about how I shop today. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/howishoptoday.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/howishoptoday.html?33744 Mon, 13 May 2013 16:09:00 CDT The Professional Bowlers Association has unveiled three distinct new lane conditioning patterns that will debut during the GEICO PBA Summer Swing in the Milwaukee area May 20-June 2, expanding the PBA's current library of "animal pattern" lane conditions. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/bowlinglanes.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/bowlinglanes.html?33700 Wed, 8 May 2013 08:39:00 CDT Store store, (shoo) has expanded its Milwaukee location in the Historic Third Ward by adding 1,000 square feet at 241 N.

It was just installed today. It seems to ask question. Maybe we should think inside the box. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/riverwalkartquestion.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/riverwalkartquestion.html?33573 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 15:20:00 CDT It's simple, effect and darn funny. The opening line is great, and unlike some spots it really doesn't take the gag too far. Kmart's new #shipmypants ad works. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/shipmypants.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/shipmypants.html?33411 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:39:00 CDT At OnMilwaukee.com we've known and lived this for years. But, it's great to see recognition for Milwaukee on a new list from Technie.com. Milwaukee ranks, with nine others, on this new list of "10 Most Unexpected Cities for High-Tech Innovation." http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/techietopten.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/techietopten.html?33388 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 11:42:00 CDT As my favorite team, the Milwaukee Bucks, prepares for a trip back to the NBA playoffs I want to remind you that shared experiences help define community. Sports provide the easiest and best way to create these large scale, collective experiences. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/sportscivicpride.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/sportscivicpride.html?33382 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 09:54:00 CDT There's a new YouTube video out that gives Milwaukee a "Portlandia"-type introduction. It's pretty cool, so I thought I'd share. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/portlandiamilwaukee.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/portlandiamilwaukee.html?33380 Tue, 9 Apr 2013 16:04:00 CDT Three-seed Marquette takes on Miami on Thursday, March 28 at 6:15 p.m. in the NCAA tournament. If you're not watching the game from the comfort of your living room, MU has several official game watching parties and OnMilwaukee.com has complied a fun and creative list of "unofficial" venues where you're sure to catch the action. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/placestowatchgame.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/placestowatchgame.html?33271 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 05:06:00 CDT Forbes is again on the Milwaukee beat as the site, April 15 print edition and reporter Joann Muller look at Milwaukee's ascent and quest to be the water capital of the world in a story called "The Capital of Water." http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/forbeswater.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/forbeswater.html?33283 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 13:22:00 CDT Downtown Milwaukee is the economic, civic, cultural and entertainment heart of the state of Wisconsin. So, it's good news that today Forbes finds our Downtown as one of 15 "emerging downtowns" in the United States. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/forbesdowntowns.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/forbesdowntowns.html?33256 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 18:03:00 CDT I've always admired Redick's play and shooting ability and Robert May's piece today on Grantland makes me like him even more. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/jjredickgrantland.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/jjredickgrantland.html?33138 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 11:39:00 CDT I came across three great videos today. They feature Aaron Rodgers, David Gruber and Jeff Gordon. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/rodgersgruberpepsi.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/rodgersgruberpepsi.html?33130 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 16:04:00 CDT If our city fits us like our favorite pair of jeans how long before too many holes and tattered and frayed edges lead to problems or stuff hanging out where it shouldn't be? http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/milwaukeejeans.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/milwaukeejeans.html?33021 Thu, 7 Mar 2013 08:15:00 CDT Milwaukee brews some great coffee, and on Zagat's new list called "The United States of Caffeine 50 States, 50 Must-Try Coffee Shops," one local roaster makes the grade.

Nonetheless, the 1980s TV series of the same name is stuck in pop culture lore. The NBA helps to preserve Milwaukee's place in sitcom history with a new spot that features the Bucks backcourt of Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/nbaspotbucks.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/nbaspotbucks.html?32904 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 12:02:00 CDT This year, at least during games, Streetlife, the house band of the Milwaukee Bucks since 1985 is out of the game time picture. While they're still playing regularly around town (as a group and in solo gigs) and in the atrium before Bucks games, you won't see them during NBA games at the BMO Harris Bradley Center. Do you agree? http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/streetlifebucks.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/streetlifebucks.html?32117 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 10:03:00 CDT Milwaukee acquired another JJ yesterday as the Milwaukee Bucks dealt for JJ Redick, a sharp shooting guard from the Orlando Magic. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/jjredickmusic.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/jjredickmusic.html?32903 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 17:31:00 CDT Looking for love this Valentine's Day week?

Today's mention is similar as Milwaukee shows up on OpenTable's list of the "Top 25 Most Romantic Cities in the United States." http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/romanticcities.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/romanticcities.html?32774 Fri, 8 Feb 2013 11:57:00 CDT There's a nationwide rail map that's making the rounds and Milwaukee's a key stop on this vision for high speed rail in the United States. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/highspeedrailmap.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/highspeedrailmap.html?32761 Thu, 7 Feb 2013 15:11:00 CDT It's all about location, right? For restaurants, though, isn't it about the food? Does location matter? Should restaurants cluster? Not sure? Here's what a few experts said. Dive in, and then chime in with your thoughts. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/restaurantlocations.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/restaurantlocations.html?32686 Fri, 1 Feb 2013 09:45:00 CDT MSN is out with a new list of the "10 coolest cities in the Midwest," Calling the Midwest, " flyover country," the site tabs ten destinations. Of course, Milwaukee made the list.

And, since Milwaukee's a part of it I'm sharing it. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/iconicmealmke.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/iconicmealmke.html?32656 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 15:58:00 CDT Natalia Angulo-Rico, a news editor at Fox News, recently discovered Milwaukee, and, like many who find our city for the first time, she was very impressed. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/angulorico012313.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/angulorico012313.html?32607 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 15:38:00 CDT Here's the deal. Buy a Big Mac or Sausage Egg McMuffin at the regular price and get a "second one of the same item for the temp. yesterday at noon." So, what if the temperature's less than zero? http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/mcdonaldscold.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/mcdonaldscold.html?32584 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 10:29:00 CDT Orkin has once again ranked the top 50 cities with the highest bed bug populations. It was compiled in 2012, and our neighbors to the south, Chicago, are sitting at the top of this itch-inducing list. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/bedbugslist.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/bedbugslist.html?32542 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 15:04:00 CDT This weekend, the Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam rolls into town for three races at the BMO Bradley Center. My 5-year-old is a big fan so I let him come up with the questions for Randy Brown, the driver of the legendary Grave Digger. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/gravedigger.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/gravedigger.html?32516 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 15:01:00 CDT The Milwaukee County Zoo has its first jaguar cubs since 1975.

Wisconsin Ave. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/paschemail.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/paschemail.html?32410 Wed, 2 Jan 2013 16:02:00 CDT Many great things happened in 2012, so it's hard to whittle them all down to one concise list. Yet, I've attempted just that. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/2012reviewlist.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/2012reviewlist.html?32349 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 10:02:00 CDT On Friday, the Bruegger's bagels location at 2045 E.

And quite drastically. Brands come and go and fad in and out of bars, stores and marketing circles. What brands do you no longer drink? http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/beeryoudontdrink.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/beeryoudontdrink.html?32294 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 09:06:00 CDT They're out this weekend at Alterra cafes, and if you are lucky enough to get one of these you'll be one of only 300.
