The "Social Circle" is a group effort between readers, social networkers and the OnMilwaukee.com editors. Every Monday, we ask a question via Facebook and Twitter and then post the responses from our Facebook "likers" and Twitter followers in this column. Well-known Milwaukee movers and shakers will contribute, too.

This week OnMilwaukee.com asked the members of the Social Circle to name their "happy place" in Milwaukee and the response was phenomenal.

From Conejito’s to the "Streets of Old Milwaukee" to the lakefront, Milwaukee seems to have no shortage of happy spots. Feel free to add yours via the Talkback feature.

To see the full thread or to join the Social Circle, go here and scroll down.
