Man on the street: Valentine's Day video

Published Feb. 3, 2001 at 5:44 a.m.

We sent our own Mike Brenner out into the streets of downtown Milwaukee to ask passers-by the simple question: do you have any special Valentine's Day memories?

We expected the usual romantic answers to an easy question. But the results were far from typical, and more often than not, pretty funny, too.

Check out our first "Man on the Street" video segment, produced by OnMilwaukee.com and Ecommandos.

We'll be hitting the pavement again soon with more probing questions for Milwaukeeans like you.

To view the segment, you'll need a Real Video player, availabe free by clicking here.

Happy Valentine's Day, Milwaukee!

Terrible pick-up lines

We really do not suggest you try these at home. Or in a bar. Or anywhere. Ever. But we do hope you`ll get a chuckle or a groan from this updated-for-2012 list of awful Milwaukee pick-up lines. Happy Valentine`s Day, Milwaukee.

The Vow

There are few things I feel more ambivalent toward than chick flicks. On the one hand, they`re tedious, predictable drivel that almost insult the viewer with their stereotypical characters, cookie-cutter plots and unrealistic portrayals that turn habitual watchers into idealistic love zombies. On the other hand, sometimes I just need a dose of sappy trash. All of this is what I was expecting "The Vow" to pitch me. Instead, this romantic drama (the rom-drom, if you will) packs more authenticity than all the romance flicks I saw last year combined.

MAM reacts to Weiwei

As a summer packed with Chinese art appears on the horizon at Milwaukee Art Museum, some local artists and others have been waiting for a comment by the museum on the April 3 arrest at the Beijing airport of controversial Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, who remains in government custody more than two months later.
