Milwaukee neighborhood posters a steal at just $3
You've probably seen the Milwaukee neighborhood posters, commissioned by the city in 1983. Amazingly, the Milwaukee Department of City Development still has a stock of these posters, and it's selling them for the dirt-cheap price of $3 (plus $2.50 for shipping).

Milwaukee Talks: Historian John Gurda

We asked Gurda about how he got into the history game and more in this edition of Milwaukee Talks.

"Perspectives" digs deep into Milwaukee history
Maybe it's the same in other cities our size, but it seems that books digging deep into Milwaukee's history are few and far between. A great new book, "Perspectives on Milwaukee's Past," is a collection of essays edited by Margo Anderson and Victor Greene, both of whom are social historians at UW-Milwaukee.
