Sherman Park still one of Milwaukee's most vibrant areas
Ever since it started out as a destination for the up-and-comers of the city, Sherman Park has held a prominent spot in the roster of Milwaukee neighborhoods. Why does Sherman Park seem to be in the forefront of our civic consciousness?

Six D.C.
I suppose it's time to let you all in on what I plan on doing once I get to D.C.  And that's take pictures.  Thousands of pictures.  On vacation, I'll average about 300 pictures a day, usually pulling out about 40 ones I actually like.  I tote that camera everyw...

Three D.C.
Before I speak of my best friend, I'd like to mention my girlfriend's best friend.  Odd that both live in D.C. and we both live hear.  Blasted coincidence.  Well, she just got married about 6 months ago.  In Peru.  A wedding we planned on attending.  Now, I don't kno...
