34548   Reader submitted blog MKE folds to the pressures of the digital era
The newspaper? Who reads the newspaper anymore? I do, but sometimes I get to certain sections a day late. Much to my surprise on this sleepy Friday afternoon, I flip open the chalky, matte pages of the cumbersome print edition of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (Thursday's ed...

34585   Reader submitted blog It's a Small City, You Sneaky Shoplifter
You seemed pretty nice when you walked into the store.  Cute haircut, nice work casual outfit, a warm smile when I greeted you.  I let you know about the new merchandise that we got in the day before, and about the sale items that we had just put onto the discount rack.  I let yo...

34548   Reader submitted blog Supermarket faux paux

We accidently found Groppi's in Bay View when we were on our way to Palomino.  It's actually just across the street (1441 S. Russell Ave.)  Groppi's was a cool little Italian grocery store that had a lot of specialty items you might not find at your average Pick 'n Save.  And ...

Community Blogger   Reader submitted blog A woman on a mission
Here we go Milwaukee!  I have been promising my husband that I will help at his shop and promote his business for 2 years. I have done a crappy job.  In 2006, I got an OnMilwaukee.com writer to do an article on the shop. Last summer, I helped unload coal and clean up some.  Occasio...

I received this, and it really hits home because my own sister, currently, is ill from what our family believes to be overconsumption of Aspartame, as found in her Diet Soda. She has been checked for everything from Lupus, to MS, to Parkinson's Disease. With no proper diagnosis in sight...

There was a night almost a year ago that a friend and I went to Von Trier to chat and I was in one of my genetically-inherited indecisive moods when asked what beer I wanted. I told the bartender only that I liked dark beer and that he should “surprise” me. I’m sure this is the ...
