Maureen Post RSS Feed Twitter Feed

OnMilwaukee.com staff writer Maureen Post grew up in Wauwatosa. A lover of international and urban culture, Maureen received a bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

After living on the east side of Madison for several years, Maureen returned to Milwaukee in 2006.

After a brief stint of travel, Maureen joined OnMilwaukee.com as the city’s oldest intern and has been hooked ever since. Combining her three key infatuations, Milwaukee’s great music, incredible food and inspiring art (and yes, in that order), Maureen’s job just about fits her perfectly.

Residing in Bay View, Maureen vehemently believes the city can become fresh and new with a simple move across town.

 On the town in Milwaukee: Bocce, music and art at the Intercontinental
 What if, instead of choosing from myriads of bars, restaurants and entertainment venues to cobble together an evening of fun, one place offered food, drinks and unique events?

 Hot wax and pressed pennies
 But for everything that's changed since I was a kid, I was happy to see my memories of the Zoo are still alive and well. Sadly, the train has stopped running for the season but in the warm summer months, kids can still tour the small track and wave to visitors on the path.

 On the town in Milwaukee: Friday night beats
 WiscoJazz Fridays celebrate three years of local and regional beats. Spinning everything from retro disco to deep house to hip-hop and funk, DJ's lukewarm, Edd Reynolds, and DJB jump started the collective back in the summer of 2004 and have spent Friday nights for the last three years spinning records at The Highbury Pub.

 How early is too early?
 As of today, Milwaukee Downtown's blue holiday lights line Wisconsin Avenue and stores like Target and Whole Foods stack holiday displays in nearly every aisle. To my knowledge, Christmas music hasn't taken over the radio waves just yet but I'd assume WMYX's Delilah is going to make the switch any day now.

 Web sites to cash in on coupons and competition
 The economy made a slight upward turn but that doesn't mean the deals have to stop, does it? Seatcity.com, PricePlease.com and CouponMap.com are Web sites new to the Milwaukee area, which defiantly say no.

 Yes, breakfast was bacon and chocolate

 Hosed on Brady fires up the East Side
 As Milwaukee institutions like At Random, Art Bar and The Foundation have come to show, when a bar gets a theme right, it is oh, so very right. Hosed on Brady, a firefighter inspired bar, is the latest to gather memorabilia and pull in the real deal in the hopes of joining ranks with some of Milwaukee's favorites.

 On the town in Milwaukee: Stacking up against NYC
 New York City, which went smoke-free in 2002, made the leap and adjusted successfully. A city that never sleeps, nightlife culture promotes late night adventure with 4 a.m. bar times and late-night eateries on every corner.

 Step back and slow down at Ten Chimneys
 The creation of Broadway legends Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, Ten Chimneys was the home away from home for American theater giants in the early 20th century. Everyone from Katharine Hepburn to Laurence Olivier spent summers soaking in the intrinsic beauty of the Ten Chimneys estate. Naturally, the estate became a home for the arts, providing a venue for artistic creation and discussion.
