Free Will is an Idiot
Ok, not exactly. But he is dead wrong when he says Milwaukee is a city on the decline.
I will be the first to recognize our area's problems, and will comment on them often in the hope of finding solutions. But as I've said here and elsewhere, I am glad to call Milwaukee home.
As we prepare to celebrate the city's 160th birthday, the Milwaukee Press Club has listed the 50 finalists for the Gems of Milwaukee contest, which were the result of online voting.
Among them:
Allen-Bradley Clock Tower
Bartolotta's Lake Park Bistro
Bastille Days
Bay View Neighborhood
Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist
Ethnic Festivals
Friday Night Fish Fries
Frozen Custard
Greek Annunciation Church
Marquette University
Miller Brewing/Miller Valley
Milwaukee Art Museum
Milwaukee Brewers
Milwaukee Bucks
Milwaukee County & City Parks & Milwaukee County Zoo
Harley-Davidson
Jazz in the Park
Milwaukee Gas Light Building
Milwaukee Public Market
Milwaukee's Lakefront
Saint Josephat's Basilica
Summerfest
You can see the complete list here, Mr. Christianson.

Brian, I agree that Milwaukee is a pretty cool city with a lot to offer. maybe if Free Will spent more time there than he did in Illinois, he'd be better informed.
And your headline for this post is the best i've seen so far this year!
Typical adolescent comment from an "anonymous" writer -- the poseaur is probably a graduate of a public unversity, say, UW-M??
Go celebrate your city birthday, 160 years? 100 years ago Milw was bigger than Chicago. And 100 from today, Milw will be smalller than Madison.
Birthday celebrations are the last refuse of a dying city.
Is there a non-celebrity with a thinner skin than "Slide?"
One thing, though, he should know adolscent comments when he sees them, unless he has the good sense to not read his own blog of course.
Let's stick to the issue of just how darn cool Brewtown is and refrain from getting personal.
I admit, the headline may have started it, but it was a mere attention getter!
Thin skin?
More like gator skin, Mr. Anonymous.
Your posts remind me of what our brave soldiers are fighting against in Iraq - chicken shits wearing masks and blowing-up our guys with remote devices.
