Milwaukee: A City Built on Water | Program |
[Original Airdate: April 22, 2015]
Historian John Gurda explores how the Milwaukee River and Lake Michigan spurred Milwaukee's growth. The settlers used rivers and Lake Michigan to transport grain, lumber, leather and beer, but water was just as important for play as it was for work. Gurda explains how the Milwaukee River became a destination for fun. Learn how the lower Milwaukee River was eventually reduced to an open sewer by 1900, with Lake Michigan suffering similar indignities. Only in recent decades have the currents turned for the better. From the Milwaukee River Greenway to the reborn Menomonee Valley to the cultural theme park on our downtown lakefront, the patterns of the past are being reversed, providing cause for celebration as well as concern.

Milwaukee to Oshkosh (September 23, 2017)
Excited to be here for the official Wisconsin Herd tryout, the Wisconsin Herd are the Milwaukee Bucks' new affiliate team tryout #grinding #loyalty
They need another superstar, another multi positional 6'8 guard to create mismatches with Middleton and Antetokounmpo to compete for a title, so I came all the way from corona, CA by bus to showcase myself and dedication to helping fill that hole in building that championship roster. Can't wait to get in the gym, just living in the gym with their trainers and start developing to that Championship level.

Michael Meyer seems to invite supporter of Christine Sinicki to fight
After spending at least two hours spying on a campaign fundraiser being held by incumbent Democratic State Rep. Christine Sinicki, Michael Meyer, husband of Democratic State Assembly candidate Julie Meyer, seems to invite one of Rep. Sinicki's sons to physically fight, saying, If you're feeling froggy sir just jump.
Keep in mind that Michael Meyer is doing this while his son in the truck with him, and he also falsely asserted (in a very odd way) that Rep. Sinicki supports people looking in his (Meyer's) daughter's window.
Odd, to say the least.

Bobblehead museum opens in Milwaukee
(6 Feb 2019) The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum has opened in Milwaukee and it has more bobbling heads than hardly anyone has seen.
There are 6,500 bobbleheads of sports figures, mascots, celebrities, animals, cartoon characters, politicians and many, many more. They even have one of Donald Trump from The Apprentice that says You're fired upon the push of a button.
So far, the owners have collected over 10,000 bobbleheads, so some will be on rotation or part of special exhibits, like, say, if a certain sports team is in town.
The owners are in the process of having the collection certified as the world's largest by Guinness Book of World Records.
Phil Sklar said they hope to attract bobblehead fans, but also people looking for something fun to do.
There are so many negative things going on ... we need more places to escape and have a good time and also educate at the same time so hopefully we will be an asset to the community, said Sklar.
