There's never a shortage of new people, events, decisions and ideas in Milwaukee, some moving the city forward and some holding it back. In this subjective and light-hearted article, we take Milwaukee's temperature for the start of October, 2009.

Hot:
Milwaukee Wave -- Rising from the ashes in '09.
Free flu vaccinations from the City -- Won't prevent Swine Flu, but it's a start.
Fall TV season -- New "Curb," "Office" and "Mad Men," but why must we wait until May for "LOST?"
Stephanie Sutton on the radio -- Filling in on Bob and Brian and D-List.
 




Warm:
Privatizing the Zoo -- Not a bad idea, we guess, but is the zoo the County's biggest problem?

Mark Tauscher's cell phone -- Starting to ring.

Cold:
Construction on I-94 South -- Who decided that this project was necessary?
Closed Lowe's at Midtown -- The old Capitol Court location seemed so promising ...







Sub-zero:
