The Exotics surf back with the "Lost Album"
The Milwaukee air must have been ripe with the scent of salt water back in 1994, because when surf rock revivalist The Exotics emerged that year, the band was an instant hit. Ten years after releasing its debut disc, the reunited quartet returns with the release of "Lost Album."

Rapid review: LuLu
Whether it's the quiet café side or the hopping bar side, LuLu dishes up great comfort food, apps and homemade dessert. Good food on this Bay View corner is now commonplace, but LuLu was doing it before its neighbors.

On the town in Milwaukee: Toasting two wheeled transport
In a city where the riding season (for most) is only half the year, Milwaukeeans do a good job of taking it to the road, and incorporating their nightlife on wheels, all summer long.

Creature of culinary habit
What's my favorite Milwaukee restaurant? I could name a dozen places, but in actuality, I tend to order the same dish at every restaurant. No, I don't order a hamburger at every restaurant -- what I'm saying is that every time I go to Lulu, I order the East Indian chicken pita, and every time I go to Yen Ching, I order the Mongolian beef.
