It's a gift she's always had, though it wasn't until recently that she decided to make a living at it. For years, she has been the go-to girl among her friends and family for decorating advice. Now, with her new thriving color consulting business, Color Zen, she can be everyone's go-to. http://onmilwaukee.com/living/articles/colorzen.html http://onmilwaukee.com/living/articles/colorzen.html?20726 Wed, 4 Nov 2009 09:06:00 CST The Midwest Alternative Medicine Clinic hosts a food drive to benefit Hunger Task Force and invites participants to indulge in Chinese food, learn more about customs through workshops and speak to experts about health concerns. http://onmilwaukee.com/market/articles/greatwallfooddrive.html http://onmilwaukee.com/market/articles/greatwallfooddrive.html?20717 Tue, 3 Nov 2009 15:02:00 CST At 2534 S. Kinnickinnic Ave. in Bay View sits Dirty Earth, a physical manifestation of literally all of artist and musician Scott Starr's creative outlets. It's part design studio, part clothing boutique. Check it out. http://onmilwaukee.com/market/articles/dirtyearth.html http://onmilwaukee.com/market/articles/dirtyearth.html?20696 Sun, 1 Nov 2009 13:08:00 CST With its glowing sign piercing through the darkness of the night and illuminating the large building like a full moon, the exterior of the House of Frank N Stein more than looks the part. But it's nothing compared to what awaits you inside. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/franknstein09.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/franknstein09.html?20674 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 13:01:00 CST Much like the city its named for, the annual gathering of music makers, fashion flaunters and creative crafters known as Made in Milwaukee just gets bigger and better each year. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/mim09.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/mim09.html?20666 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 09:25:00 CST Mayura's cuisine favors northern India, where the weather can be both scorching hot and bitterly cold, and the food is rich and hearty. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/rapidreviewmayura.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/rapidreviewmayura.html?20645 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 11:03:00 CST According to The Daily Beast, Milwaukee's not a bad place to be single ... if you're female, that is. http://onmilwaukee.com/living/articles/mkesingles.html http://onmilwaukee.com/living/articles/mkesingles.html?20584 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 08:41:00 CST Charro has been spicing things up on Milwaukee Street for close to a year now. Have you been? http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/rapidreviewcahrro.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/rapidreviewcahrro.html?20571 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 11:20:00 CST This is a question I've pondered for years. Not too seriously, mind you; only on the rare occasion that I need to go there. http://onmilwaukee.com/market/articles/closerikea.html http://onmilwaukee.com/market/articles/closerikea.html?20559 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:24:00 CST Friday, Oct. 16 is Gallery Night and there is lots to see, do and buy. Here are a few places to check out. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/gallerynightfall09.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/gallerynightfall09.html?20503 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 07:48:00 CST Authenticity? Check. Taste? Check. Affordability? Double check. Since 1972 Conejito's has been a Walker's Point mainstay that has developed an almost cult-like following among its fans. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/rapidreviewconejitos.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/rapidreviewconejitos.html?20488 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 11:17:00 CST We are a town internationally known for our fare, and that's nothing to be ashamed of. But while Schlitz may be the beer that made Milwaukee famous, are cased meats and deep fried cheese the foods that are making us fat or unhealthy? http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/milwaukeefoodsinfo.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/milwaukeefoodsinfo.html?20480 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:02:00 CST One of the highlights of OnMilwaukee.com's Art Riot, which features more than 40 local and national artists, is the Milwaukee debut of "American Artifact: The Rise of American Rock Poster Art." http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/scottwalters.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/scottwalters.html?20421 Thu, 8 Oct 2009 12:09:00 CST Opening in early 2009, The National is a relative newcomer to Milwaukee's dining scene, but it's quickly become a neighborhood favorite, with its hip, vintage charm and focus on fresh, organic (not to mention deliciously prepared) foods. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/rapidreviewthenational.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/rapidreviewthenational.html?20396 Wed, 7 Oct 2009 11:10:00 CST It's officially October now, which means I'm officially allowed to talk about my favorite of the holidays, Halloween. http://onmilwaukee.com/living/articles/halloweencostume.html http://onmilwaukee.com/living/articles/halloweencostume.html?20351 Sat, 3 Oct 2009 08:27:00 CST OnMilwaukee.com caught up with The Saltshakers frontman Chad Curtis to talk about his band's relationship with Milwaukee, which has lasted the better part of the last decade, and how his definition of fame has altered over the years. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/saltshakerslightsout.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/saltshakerslightsout.html?20300 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 11:34:00 CST It's late August when the members of the Paranormal Investigators of Milwaukee visit my Walker's Point home, but the temperature has dropped from its normal mid-80s range down to a brisk 63 degrees. The wind is rushing, bringing the abnormally cool evening air into my house in puffs. It's a perfect night for a ghost investigation. http://onmilwaukee.com/market/articles/paranormalmilwaukee.html http://onmilwaukee.com/market/articles/paranormalmilwaukee.html?20291 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 08:25:00 CST On a walk this weekend I discovered about five bales of hay inside an otherwise empty section of the Pritzlaff Building. Anyone have any clues? http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/hayblog.html http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/hayblog.html?20277 Sun, 27 Sep 2009 15:53:00 CST Every year about this time, I begin to wonder how I'm going to keep myself from succumbing to a long, lazy winter of hibernation. http://onmilwaukee.com/living/articles/homeyoga.html http://onmilwaukee.com/living/articles/homeyoga.html?20266 Sat, 26 Sep 2009 10:46:00 CST Andy Warhol is easily one of the most recognizable, famous and definitely most prolific American artists that ever lived. Not only are there a seemingly endless array of museum exhibits dedicated to his special work, but there are also entire museums created just to display his talents and educate the masses about his fascinating existence. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/mamwarhol.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/mamwarhol.html?20253 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 16:36:00 CST It's always something of a mystery to me when my alarm clock ends up on a different station than the one I have consistently set it to for years and years. (Does this happen to anyone else?) http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/bonivercocobees.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/bonivercocobees.html?20246 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 09:20:00 CST I got an e-mail today alerting me that I have money in my Kiva account. As I read on, I was pleased to discover that my $25 loan (a birthday gift from my mother-in-law) had been repaid in full by the 28-year-old farmer and mother of two in the Middle Eastern country of Azerbaijan, who I had loaned the money to last year. http://onmilwaukee.com/living/articles/kivaupdate.html http://onmilwaukee.com/living/articles/kivaupdate.html?20223 Sun, 20 Sep 2009 07:44:00 CST In the most unlikely of solutions to the violence and anger spread after the 1992 L.A. riots, residents of the South Central neighborhood came together to create a 14-acre community garden at 41st and Alameda. It was a form of healing, and it became the largest community garden in the United States. http://onmilwaukee.com/movies/articles/thegarden.html http://onmilwaukee.com/movies/articles/thegarden.html?20027 Tue, 8 Sep 2009 14:28:00 CST You could spend days exploring the various downtown districts, go star hunting in Hollywood or stay seaside and soak up the sun along the bounty of beaches. The tourist attractions are seemingly endless and, baring time, so are your possible itineraries. But no matter which route you chose, remember this piece of advice: In Los Angeles, a map is your best friend. http://onmilwaukee.com/visitors/articles/recessionbusterla.html http://onmilwaukee.com/visitors/articles/recessionbusterla.html?20013 Mon, 31 Aug 2009 08:19:00 CST Amy Severinsen and Olive Crane open Milwaukee Community Acupuncture on Sept. 1 to be among the first to offer daily community-style acupuncture to Milwaukeeans. Unlike private practitioners, community acupuncturists treat in a group setting, allowing them to see a higher volume of patients in a day and lower the costs. http://onmilwaukee.com/market/articles/communityacupuncture.html http://onmilwaukee.com/market/articles/communityacupuncture.html?20020 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 11:27:00 CST To celebrate 250 glorious years of Guinness, Garden Wine and Spirits, 1010 W. Layton Ave., hosts a beer tasting on Thursday, Aug. 27, from 5 to 7 p.m. The mighty Guinness, including the limited edition anniversary bottle, is the guest of honor, but don't leave without also sampling its partner in black and tan crime, Harp. http://onmilwaukee.com/market/articles/gardenwine.html http://onmilwaukee.com/market/articles/gardenwine.html?20026 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 05:30:00 CST With shorter days and cooler nights on the horizon, we Wisconsinites shouldn't waste time lamenting summer's end, but rather embrace what's ahead: the colorful changing of the leaves, football season and flavorful fall beers. Here are five great fall seasonal beers to swill and a snack recommendation to pair with each. Game on. http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/fallbeerandfootball.html http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/fallbeerandfootball.html?20000 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 08:15:00 CST This abnormally chilly weekend has inadvertently reminded me that with summer's end also comes the end to my garden's growing season. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/frozenbasil.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/frozenbasil.html?20008 Sun, 23 Aug 2009 18:12:00 CST During the first two weeks of the month, Sept. 1-12, the Eat Local Milwaukee Challenge rallies Milwaukeeans to make more conscious decisions about what they consume and where it comes from. Most food travels an average of 15,000 miles from farm to fork, and when that number reduces, so does its carbon footprint on the planet. http://onmilwaukee.com/living/articles/elmc09.html http://onmilwaukee.com/living/articles/elmc09.html?19995 Sat, 22 Aug 2009 10:09:00 CST One of the most interesting, and beneficial, aspects of my job at OnMilwaukee.com is how in tune I feel with my city, whether it's access to inside tips on new attractions (which we, of course, share with all of you), or just being hyper-conscious of the trends as they cycle through over the years. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/mkediningtrends.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/mkediningtrends.html?19990 Fri, 21 Aug 2009 10:38:00 CST At his first press conference since being released from the hospital Monday after a brutal attack Saturday night, Mayor Tom Barrett appeared with his hand in a cast, stitches on his cheek and was visibly tired. But his message was strong. http://onmilwaukee.com/politics/articles/barrettattackresponse.html http://onmilwaukee.com/politics/articles/barrettattackresponse.html?19970 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 13:36:00 CST Remember back in June when I told you about Streetza, a giant pizza oven on wheels from which proprietors Scott Baitinger and Steve Mai sell it by the slice at bar time? http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/gqstreetza.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/gqstreetza.html?19953 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 12:12:00 CST It's been a popular trend on both coasts, and recently the Park East Enterprise Lofts have made live / work apartments an attractive choice for Milwaukee-based entrepreneurs. LaRhonda Bennett-Lewis and her husband Gary are two residents and business owners who are taking advantage of the opportunity to convert part of their living space into a storefront. http://onmilwaukee.com/market/articles/madame.html http://onmilwaukee.com/market/articles/madame.html?19890 Sun, 16 Aug 2009 10:17:00 CST The other day I had a headache that wouldn't quit. I'm no stranger to migraines and usually know how to combat them when they pull a sneak attack, but this one was different. It was a tension headache that was fully committed to running its course and no about of Excedrin was going to stop it. http://onmilwaukee.com/living/articles/strangekindness.html http://onmilwaukee.com/living/articles/strangekindness.html?19905 Fri, 14 Aug 2009 07:51:00 CST I'm about to get hitched and, subsequently, go on a honeymoon that takes us to Paris for a week and then London for a week. http://onmilwaukee.com/visitors/articles/parislondon.html http://onmilwaukee.com/visitors/articles/parislondon.html?19898 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 10:26:00 CST The Iron Horse Hotel's new backyard patio, The Yard, has been open since the start of the season as a fun outside bar, but now that real summer-like temperatures have finally arrived, it's become a great garden getaway from the heat and hectic pulse of the city that surrounds it. http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/theyardreview.html http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/theyardreview.html?19860 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 14:36:00 CST When my fiancé and I met, he was living in Chicago and I was here in Milwaukee, a situation that sometimes made for long, lonely weeks, but that also opened the doors for a dual citizenship of sorts when the weekends rolled around. The start of each new week brought with it the choice to remain in Brew City or hop the Megabus down to the Windy one. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/falafelfaves.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/falafelfaves.html?19843 Wed, 5 Aug 2009 10:31:00 CST You've got your Myspace, your Twitter and your Facebook. But Rick Marini can tell you why you're going to want to create a profile on his new social media site, Superfan.com. Do you like stuff? This is your site. http://onmilwaukee.com/living/articles/superfan.html http://onmilwaukee.com/living/articles/superfan.html?19785 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 16:34:00 CST Mazen Muna, owner of Milwaukee's four Dogg Haus locations and one Burger Joint, is shifting gears a bit with his latest endeavor. The young entrepreneur recently took ownership of Eastbay Hand Car Wash, 1510 N. Van Buren St., and after taking a few weeks to renovate and remodel, plans to reopen as Mazen's Hand Car Wash. http://onmilwaukee.com/market/articles/mazenscarwash.html http://onmilwaukee.com/market/articles/mazenscarwash.html?19789 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 16:19:00 CST They're known as the "hot dog hotties," but they're not selling hot dogs. Like the late-night Downtown hot dog vendors, Mark Miller and Chad Mydlowski sell hot food to the hungry masses from a small cart. Only, rather than wieners, they're pushing gyros. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/americaneuros.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/americaneuros.html?19777 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 11:33:00 CST Flad Architects recently took first place at the local level of the Natural Design Competition, hosted in Milwaukee by the Wisconsin Green Building Alliance and Walnut Way Conservation Corp., a resident-led, community development organization serving the neighborhood bound by North Avenue, 12th Street, Fond du Lac Avenue, Walnut Street and 20th Street. http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/flad.html http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/flad.html?19771 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 11:35:00 CST The first time Megan Dickison saw an epilepsy helmet she was completely taken back by the thought of someone like her, who also happened to have drop seizures, being forced to wear it in public. They were large, intrusive, and loudly called unnecessary attention to a person's medical condition. She set to work on an aesthetically-pleasing, yet safe, alternative called the Protec. http://onmilwaukee.com/living/articles/protec.html http://onmilwaukee.com/living/articles/protec.html?19752 Sun, 26 Jul 2009 10:13:00 CST A Saturday night out in Bay View last weekend proved to be both encouraging and a bit of a disappointment. http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/tonicanddees.html http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/tonicanddees.html?19759 Sat, 25 Jul 2009 09:03:00 CST Help me, dear readers. What should I make a priority during my whirlwind two-day trip to Los Angeles? http://onmilwaukee.com/visitors/articles/laideas.html http://onmilwaukee.com/visitors/articles/laideas.html?19700 Fri, 17 Jul 2009 08:28:00 CST There are late-night sausages on Old World 3rd Street, Satellite Crepes for breakfast and post-bar pizza trucks. The latest "street food" to roll into town are the Pita Brothers, otherwise knows as real-life brothers Vijay and Manoj Swearingen. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/pitabrothers.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/pitabrothers.html?19684 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 11:21:00 CST Karma Kraft is a new custom digital fabric printing service based out of Raleigh, N.C., but co-founder Scott Jeffreys says his team of CAD designers and printers are filling orders for customers as far away as Brazil, Australia and France. Creative crafters are taking over the world. http://onmilwaukee.com/living/articles/karmakraft.html http://onmilwaukee.com/living/articles/karmakraft.html?19678 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 16:19:00 CST It might not have been quite as colorful as the likes of San Francisco's Barbary Coast or The Tenderloin in Manhattan, but there was a time when Milwaukee had its own pleasure quarter, and "Spectacular! Spectacular! A Burlesque Bash" is doing its damnedest to recreate those late-19th century days. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/spectacularspectacular.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/spectacularspectacular.html?19679 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 11:51:00 CST The big signs covering the windows of the forthcoming Chic Lounge promised patrons a new bar and restaurant on the corner of Jackson Street and Corcoran Avenue in June, but co-owners Rita Anderson and Denita Sublett knew not to rush a good thing. http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/chiclounge.html http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/chiclounge.html?19672 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 16:31:00 CST There's your basic dinner and a movie date, and then there's dinner and a movie done Milwaukee style. And trust us, the City of Festival's take on this old classic combo is guaranteed to be more fun than someone else's night out at Applebee's and the budget cinema. Welcome to the new Fish Fry and a Flick series. http://onmilwaukee.com/movies/articles/fishfryflicks.html http://onmilwaukee.com/movies/articles/fishfryflicks.html?19627 Thu, 9 Jul 2009 14:34:00 CST
