Lost Milwaukee - Carl Swanson

Lost Milwaukee - Carl Swanson

From City Hall to the Pabst Theater, reminders of the past are part of the fabric of Milwaukee. Yet many historic treasures have been lost to time. An overgrown stretch of the Milwaukee River was once a famous beer garden. Blocks of homes and apartments replaced the Wonderland Amusement Park. A quiet bike path now stretches where some of fastest trains in the world previously thundered. Today's Estabrook Park was a vast mining operation, and Marquette University covers the old fairgrounds where Abraham..

Classic Restaurants of Milwaukee - Jennifer Billock

Classic Restaurants of Milwaukee - Jennifer Billock

Milwaukee may be known for beer, brats and custard, but the city's food history is even richer and tastier.

And we can't forget about the more illicit side of Milwaukee meals, like the mafia hangouts and a local fast-food chain with..

History Lover's Guide to Milwaukee - James Nelsen

History Lover's Guide to Milwaukee - James Nelsen

Milwaukee is often described as a big small town, and its quirky character stems from its many neighborhoods--each with its own stories to tell. Early territorial disputes, for example, led to the horribly (or humorously) misaligned streets of downtown. The city's signature rectangular pizza was born in the Third Ward. In Kilbourntown, Teddy Roosevelt was saved from an assassin's bullet by the smallest of items. Not far from that spot, eight baseball team owners formed the American League of Professional..

Not only were they magical places to shop but also wonderful places to work, creating the kind of community where a kid might come in to work the Christmas rush and stay for twenty-five..
