In an unassuming building at 77th and Bluemound, chairman Keith Mardak has built that largest sheet music publisher in the world and a hugely successful company that touches many aspects of the music industry.

We've had a few cream puffs this week at State Fair, but that hasn't diminished our desire to tell you about cool stuff that caught our eye. We start with some good seats at the ol' ballpark and follow up with notes about a Michael Jackson book, a decadent East Side dish, a fun backyard toy, a great loaf of local bread and a cool place to find cheap (and sometimes reliable) merchandise.
