The well-thought out details about oral health, timing of revolutionary events and primitive interior design were all interesting and genuine interpretations. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/alexanderhamilton.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/alexanderhamilton.html?15026 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 09:12:00 CST King Features Syndicate heads an effort in which nearly 50 comic strips are set to go "green" for Earth Day today. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/earthdaycomics.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/earthdaycomics.html?14998 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 02:46:00 CST Local writer Nancy Goodman Driver released her second book, “Coast to Coast: Arrivals and Departures.” http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/goodmandriverarticle.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/goodmandriverarticle.html?14953 Sun, 20 Apr 2008 05:23:00 CST The actor / comedian, slated to perform April 25 at The Pabst Theater, will shoot a movie instead. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/morganppd.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/morganppd.html?14957 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 13:23:00 CST Anyone who grew up in the ‘70s or ‘80s knows at least one -- possibly six -- girls named Jenny or Jen or Jennifer. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/jennyblog.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/jennyblog.html?14952 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 09:47:00 CST Today is -- at least according to NPR's "Morning Edition," National Poem in Your Pocket Day. That led me to share one of my favorites with you, but maybe you should only read this if you have a Blackberry or something. Otherwise, the poem isn't really in your pocket, even if it's in "the pocket," as musicians are fond of saying. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/poempocket.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/poempocket.html?14951 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 07:55:00 CST Life-long Milwaukee-area writer Kris Radish made her fiction debut about five years ago and since then, she's published "The Sunday List of Dreams," "Annie Freeman's Fabulous Traveling Funeral," "Dancing Naked at the Edge of Dawn" and "The Elegant Gathering of White Snows." http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/radish08.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/radish08.html?14774 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 05:06:00 CST What the heck has happened to HBO?

We support more professional companies than cities twice as big. Having said that, occasionally some theater stands just a little bit taller than the rest of the wonderful work in this town. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/talleysfolley.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/talleysfolley.html?14915 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 08:24:00 CST With a record 74 participants, Friday, April 18 and Saturday, April 19's Gallery Night and Day promises to be our largest artsy fartsy weekend ever.
