Nothing says "drinking holiday" quite like St. Patrick's Day. And since it falls on a Saturday this year, revelers have even more occasion to hit the town and fill up on their share of whiskey, Guinness and green beer.
Whether you're hitting up your local Irish standby or bar crawling into the wee hours of the morning, however, this is no occasion to get behind the wheel of a car.
Just to make sure the thought doesn't cross your alcohol-addled brain, MillerCoors and the Milwaukee County Transit System have teamed up once again to provide free bus service Saturday, March 17.
The Miller Lite Free Rides program will run from 6 p.m. until the end of regular service on all MCTS routes for St. Patrick's Day. Get route and schedule information by calling (800) FREE-RIDES (1-800-373-3743), texting "FREERIDE" to 90464 or visiting the Free Rides website.
Stay safe and have a happy St. Paddy's Day, Milwaukee.
Contrary to her natural state of being, Renee Lorenz is a total optimist when it comes to Milwaukee. Since beginning her career with OnMilwaukee.com, her occasional forays into the awesomeness that is the Brew City have turned into an overwhelming desire to discover anything and everything that's new, fun or just ... "different."
Expect her random musings to cover both the new and "new-to-her" aspects of Miltown goings-on, in addition to periodically straying completely off-topic, which usually manifests itself in the form of an obscure movie reference.
