Fond du Lac Ave., celebrates its grand opening Friday, Sept. 5 at 11:30 a.m. The restaurant aims to present an alternative to fast food in its North Side neighborhood. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/bklyns.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/bklyns.html?16461 Thu, 4 Sep 2008 16:13:00 CST Twenty-five years into my life as a Milwaukeean, I made my debut at Organ Piper Pizza, 4358 S. 108th St., in Greenfield. I'm still trying to decide which part I liked the best. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/organpiperblog.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/organpiperblog.html?16454 Thu, 4 Sep 2008 11:49:00 CST Because my boss is cool, I went to see the Brewers take on the Mets yesterday for the second time in three days. Here are some ruminations on an afternoon at the ballpark. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewblogbt.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewblogbt.html?16448 Thu, 4 Sep 2008 09:57:00 CST We managed to catch up with The .357 String Band singer and guitarist Derek Dunn to ask about the quartet's second record -- "Fire and Hail" -- the band, the ongoing tour and more. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/357string08.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/357string08.html?16213 Wed, 3 Sep 2008 05:25:00 CST Who says a delicious, hearty breakfast can't be classy and well-presented, too? Always on the quest for a great West Side breakfast, we checked out Il Mito Enoteca's Sunday brunch on 69th and North. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/mitobrunch.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/mitobrunch.html?16428 Tue, 2 Sep 2008 09:35:00 CST It's been four years since we sat down with Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett for a Milwaukee Talks interview. So, it was high time we asked Tom Barrett, "what's up?" http://onmilwaukee.com/politics/articles/barretttalks08.html http://onmilwaukee.com/politics/articles/barretttalks08.html?16178 Tue, 2 Sep 2008 05:51:00 CST Part Public Image Limited, part Massive Attack and part Tom Tom Club without vocals, San Francisco's Tussle has a new disc -- "Cream Cuts" (Smalltown Supersound) -- and arrives at the Borg Ward -- 8th and National in Walker's Point -- for a gig on Saturday, Sept. 6. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/tussle.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/tussle.html?16376 Mon, 1 Sep 2008 08:53:00 CST Even with a toddler in the house, I never thought I'd enter a Build-A-Bear shop, much less actually build one. http://onmilwaukee.com/family/articles/bearbuild.html http://onmilwaukee.com/family/articles/bearbuild.html?16361 Sat, 30 Aug 2008 11:20:00 CST Welcome to the latest installment of the OnMilwaukee.com mix tape, or one man's reflections on a stack of new and recent CDs. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/mixtapeaug08.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/mixtapeaug08.html?16347 Sat, 30 Aug 2008 07:54:00 CST The Brewers face the Pirates and the Badgers start their season. But this weekend also marks the start of play in Italy's Serie A soccer league. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/seriea0809.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/seriea0809.html?16399 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 09:21:00 CST The 10-day Milwaukee LGBT Film/Video Festival runs from Sept. 4 through 14 at UWM's Union Theatre and is loaded with international films, American indies and more. http://onmilwaukee.com/movies/articles/lgbtfest08.html http://onmilwaukee.com/movies/articles/lgbtfest08.html?16343 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 05:18:00 CST Last week I shared my favorite breakfast places and asked for yours. Now, it's midnight and I'm starving! OnMilwaukee.com readers, I need your help! http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/midnightsnack.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/midnightsnack.html?16372 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 09:49:00 CST You've got your schedule, you've got your books, you're ready to go back to class. That leaves one thing to do during the first week back at college ... see some films. http://onmilwaukee.com/movies/articles/welcomewkfilm.html http://onmilwaukee.com/movies/articles/welcomewkfilm.html?16360 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 08:57:00 CST Since the LPGA is an American organization, I won't argue its language policy. However, I will suggest that it work both ways. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/lpgaenglish.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/lpgaenglish.html?16366 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 14:19:00 CST It seems "they" are talking about blowing up the Hoan Bridge. And I don't mean the terrorists. I mean the state DOT. http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/hoandown.html http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/hoandown.html?16357 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 09:13:00 CST Local RandB guru Paul Cebar joins forces with 88Nine RadioMilwaukee Music Director Scott Mullins for a vintage record spin Friday at Stone Creek Coffee on Kinnickinnic and Lincoln Avenues in Bay View. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/cebarmullins.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/cebarmullins.html?16355 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 07:46:00 CST Milwaukee Film, the new independent film festival in the city, hosts its first screening, "The Milwaukee Show," on Oct. 23.

While that may be less true these days when it's not unsual for artists to spend two or more years on a new record, traditionally sophomore albums haven't always gotten the respect they deserve. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/sophcds.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/sophcds.html?16316 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 13:42:00 CST After much, much hype, the Fonz has officially been bronzed. Here's a recap of the launch event. http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/fonzpix.html http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/fonzpix.html?16293 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 10:56:00 CST If you were Downtown yesterday, you might have seen the Bronze Fonz, already in place, but still under wraps. http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/fonzunderwraps.html http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/fonzunderwraps.html?16290 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 08:08:00 CST As promised last week, I went to check out the new Cool Water Bar and Grill on St. Francis Avenue in, you guessed it, St. Francis! Here's the scouting report. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/coolwaterfish.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/coolwaterfish.html?16280 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 08:02:00 CST I suspected it on the drive home yesterday when I got on the freeway on a new ramp. This morning, it was confirmed. The Marquette Interchange is open! http://onmilwaukee.com/visitors/articles/mchangeopen.html http://onmilwaukee.com/visitors/articles/mchangeopen.html?16289 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 07:47:00 CST As Milwaukee prepares to unveil the Bronz Fonz at 10 a.m. Tuesday morning, we present some other Brew City bronze-ables. http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/bronzeables.html http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/bronzeables.html?16287 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 15:26:00 CST Due to some recent houseguests, I found myself breakfasting at restaurants more than normal and that led me to ruminate on some of my favorite places to eat breakfast in the Milwaukee area. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/breakfastblog.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/breakfastblog.html?16274 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 08:58:00 CST The music on the debut disc by The Celebrated Workingman is chimey and poppy and vivid, offering a release valve for singer Mark Waldoch's pent-up musical passion and breathless vocal urgency. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/gigsworkingman.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/gigsworkingman.html?16248 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 05:26:00 CST Since demand for Schlitz in a bottle has outpaced supply it's good news to hear that the company brings back the vintage brew on tap this month. The old formula first appeared in bottles in Milwaukee earlier this summer. http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/schlitztap.html http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/schlitztap.html?16258 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 10:19:00 CST It's true, the Olympics bring out a weird, latent interest in sports in me. Not sure why. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/olympictv.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/olympictv.html?16257 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 08:43:00 CST These days, the music business is still the main one for LoDuca Bros., but the wine business has grown and it's clearly Jim's passion. Recently, LoDuca sat down to tell me about his business and his experiences in Italy and he gave me a tour of the company headquarters in a New Berlin business park. http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/loduca.html http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/loduca.html?16253 Thu, 14 Aug 2008 15:28:00 CST Local musicians De La Buena, Fever Marlene, Cache, Rusty P's, Element, KHB, Trutanium and many others team up to pay tribute to DJ Rock Dee, Sunday, Aug. 17 at The Wherehouse, 818 S.

The all-day event begind at 1 p.m and admission is $10. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/rockdeebenefit.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/rockdeebenefit.html?16226 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 08:39:00 CST The Iron Horse Hotel, 500 W. Florida St., is within sight of the new Harley-Davidson Museum, but while the hotel will be a mix of chic and chrome and will cater to upscale business travelers and the leather-clad biker set -- often that's the same customer -- don't call this a biker hotel. http://onmilwaukee.com/visitors/articles/ironhorse.html http://onmilwaukee.com/visitors/articles/ironhorse.html?15941 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 05:30:00 CST Vincent and Kyle Buckley -- Whitefish Bay natives -- returned from Los Angeles to make the feature-length "Jake's How-To" here when it became apparent that Brew City would be a much better place to make a movie. Now, the film premieres at the Oriental. http://onmilwaukee.com/movies/articles/jakeshowto.html http://onmilwaukee.com/movies/articles/jakeshowto.html?16009 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 05:22:00 CST Bonnie Raitt's Friday, Aug. 22 show at the Northern Lights Theater in Potawatomi Bingo Casino has been canceled due to what the Raitt camp said was a "family health emergency." http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/raittcancel.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/raittcancel.html?16225 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 18:26:00 CST If I learned anything from punk, it's that sometimes you gotta stop asking for what you want and do it yourself. Hence, Carmen Consoli plays at the Miramar Theatre on Monday, Sept. 29. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/carmenmiramar.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/carmenmiramar.html?16202 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 08:57:00 CST The Ricochettes, a Beatles-inspired pop group that performed in area clubs and recorded a few singles in the mid-1960s, has reformed after a 40-year hiatus and plays at Serb Hall on Friday, Aug. 22. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/ricochettes.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/ricochettes.html?16158 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 05:17:00 CST Just this morning I kissed a girl. OK, it was a woman and she was my wife. I also kissed another girl, but she's a standard poodle. Still, you don't see me writing a song about it. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/kissedagirl.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/kissedagirl.html?16183 Thu, 7 Aug 2008 15:01:00 CST As the 105th anniversary celebrations for Harley-Davidson near, it seems the entire city is getting ready. And that preparation is taking place in the biggest office in City Hall, too http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/harley/articles/barrettbike.html http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/harley/articles/barrettbike.html?16179 Thu, 7 Aug 2008 13:18:00 CST Cool Water Bar and Grill has finally opened in the old Majdecki's Inn space at 2247 E. St. Francis Ave., just off the Lake Parkway in St. Francis. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/coolwater.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/coolwater.html?16159 Wed, 6 Aug 2008 02:07:00 CST The reissues of "Boy," "October" and "War" are packaged in a CD-sized hardcover book in a slipcase. The booklets contain an essay by a music journalist, lots of photos and The Edge explaining the bonus tracks on the bonus disc. They remind us why U2 sounded so fresh in those early years. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/u2reissues.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/u2reissues.html?16144 Tue, 5 Aug 2008 14:16:00 CST Returning from a week away, I was shocked and saddened to hear that veteran Milwaukee turntablist and radio DJ Rock Dee died on Aug. 1. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/rockdee.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/rockdee.html?16142 Tue, 5 Aug 2008 07:52:00 CST Last year we were sad to hear that there were fewer foods on sticks at State Fair, but, hey, you're still unlikely to try everything that's on offer with a little wooden post through it. And the good news? This year, there's one more, for a total of 32! http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/festivals/articles/stickstick.html http://onmilwaukee.com/seasonal/festivals/articles/stickstick.html?12178 Tue, 5 Aug 2008 05:07:00 CST Although a lot of people warned me that Minocqua is a lot like the Dells, I was pleased to find out that they overstated it a bit. Sure, there's taffy and the MinAquabats water show and T-shirt stores, but Minocqua hasn't been completely washed away yet. http://onmilwaukee.com/visitors/articles/minocquacabin.html http://onmilwaukee.com/visitors/articles/minocquacabin.html?16130 Mon, 4 Aug 2008 10:03:00 CST Co-owner of Restaurant Hama, Lesley Kagen is also the author of the bestselling novel "Whistling in the Dark."

But despite an impressive catalog, Crustacean only now makes its entry into the video market. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/crustaceandvd.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/crustaceandvd.html?15860 Thu, 31 Jul 2008 05:23:00 CST If summer is too hot for you, remember that it's winter in the southern hemisphere. So, Il Mito Enoteca Chef Michael Feker's Argentian menu Saturday night, July 26, might be just what the doctor ordered. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/mitoargentina.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/mitoargentina.html?16047 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 11:34:00 CST In spring 2007, I noticed that Gerry O'Brien's had finally been replaced. The new tenant was Maxie's Southern Comfort and it looked inviting. I was leaving town, so I sent our Amy Schubert over to take a look. Last night, I finally got there myself. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/maxiesfirst.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/maxiesfirst.html?16039 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 07:48:00 CST Since Milwaukee's premier alternative progressive rockers The Danglers recently debuted an outspoken new single, "Ascend," online and has a gig Friday, July 25, we decided to pitch John Sparrow five questions. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/danglersascend.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/danglersascend.html?15958 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 05:19:00 CST Eldina Long and Erica Malan of Italy's Gruppo Teatro Angrogna, from the town of Angrogna in the Val Pellice west of the Piedmontese capital of Turin, were at Festa Italiana last week to do two demonstrations of the classic "cucina povera" soup from their area. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/festasupa.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/festasupa.html?16015 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 08:15:00 CST Sunday Runners front man Randy Diderrich has moved back home and his Chicago-based band recently released its second full-length disc, "Tame Animals." He talks to Bobby Tanzilo about ch-ch-ch-changes. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/srunnerstame.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/srunnerstame.html?15840 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 05:26:00 CST In the wake of the Shepherd Express stepping back from the Milwaukee International Film Festival, a new international film festival organization -- called Milwaukee Film -- with a new board of directors was announced today. http://onmilwaukee.com/movies/articles/milwaukeefilm.html http://onmilwaukee.com/movies/articles/milwaukeefilm.html?16010 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 15:34:00 CST
