Happy Milwaukee Day folks!

Jon Hartz and Milblogee pose the question:

Anybody Having an Election Mood? - Milblogee I finally went to bed at about 2 am. None the wiser to the future of our country, no better informed as to what to expect from my country, my city the following day. I’m used to knowing more on election night.  Not just as the ballots and results roll in, but just in fu***ng... Read More

I finally went to bed at about 2 am. None the wiser to the future of our country, no better informed as to what to expect from my country, my city the following day. I’m used to knowing more on election night. Not just as the ballots and results roll in, but just in fu***ng general: I’m used to knowing more. [ 420 more words ]

As far as I can tell, while I watch election results dribble in on Disney owned ABC news, this year's election seems to be brought to us by murderers, liars, and bounty hunters...seems appropriate. That's just based on commercials for current and future tv shows - I miss Green Acres. Though, this particular crew of pundits could easily be used to recast a reboot with George Stephanopoulos taking over for Eddie Albert and Chris Christie as Arnold the pig. [ 619 more words ]

Vote!

Turn out. Your voice and your vote have value.

The original Fuel Cafe This is hard. You are Milwaukee, amazing, beautiful, fierce. With hope we do not say goodbye, but rather, see you later. Be safe, be well, you are loved.

Be safe, have fun, wear a mask.

I’m looking for the perfect donut. As far as goals, great quests, or life changing discoveries this may seem a little light. I mean, some people dedicate their lives altruistic endeavors to make the world a better, safer, cleaner place so finding the perfect donut may seem frivolous. Let’s face it, every grocery store and gas station has donuts. Little Debbie and Hostess have given us baked sugar convenience for years, bad bakery is easy to find. [ 1,041 more word ]

We do a lot of entertaining at our abode off of Brady Street. We’re one of those families that grills every weekend, and a couple of times a week, winter included. My wife doesn’t even like grilled food, save for chicken wings. And they have to be plain. Which is egregious, but not a deal breaker. It’s more about the process. [ 610 more words ]

Hey there everyone, thanks again for all of your support. If you have a few minutes, check out the new Milblogee piece. We are all feeling the need to see our favorite acts perform live again; let's not forget that Milwaukee has the venues to host any & all of them!

Live Music, Brat Pack Hair, Please Don’t P*e on the Floor What’s better? Is bigger better? Is smaller better? Or is better better? What the hell are we even talking about? Honestly, at this point, I don’t even know. A lot of the conversations I’ve h…

We miss it, we love it, we need it...eventually.

Cool nights, full moon.

Seattle is synonymous with coffee. Mostly, because of Starbucks whose tagline could be: Starbucks, It Tastes Like Coffee. Sumatra Blend, tastes like coffee. Pike Place, tastes like coffee. Blonde Roast, tastes like coffee. Breakfast sandwich, tastes like frozen, goes pretty good with coffee. I lived in Seattle for the past seven years and, I guess, I expected more. Some kind of holy coffee experience. [ 814 more words ]

Even on a normal day, entering The Rave to see a show is gambling on your physical and mental health. That's part of its charm. Of all our Milwaukee venues, one could argue that The Rave (and the sub-venues inside) knows itself better than any of them. Nobody goes to a show there because they want to sit down and drink a martini. [ 1,121 more word ]

Perfect French Toast...start with Farm Bread from Grebe's Bakery. And then add bacon, lots and lots of bacon.

Side note: This is being posted at night and if you don't believe that breakfast foods can be eaten at every meal, you're a monster.

Good Morning!

We'll start with a little fiction. In the weeks to come, we'll explore and dig in and find Milwaukee. However, given the recent protests and impatience, I'm just gonna leave this here.
