City takes measures to alleviate "problem bars"
From the larger venues on Water Street to the tiny spots on residential corners, bars and taverns are an integral -- some might even go as far as to say indispensable -- part of Milwaukee's cultural identity. But, the picture is not always positive. At different times and in different neighborhoods, establishments can become what the city refers to as "problem taverns." The city has a brochure telling residents how to deal with them.

Low calorie drinking is little more than moderation
Make no mistake; here in Milwaukee we work hard, we play hard and on the weekends, we've been known to party hard. But after a long season fueled by holiday get-togethers, Packers parties and minimal outdoor activity, it's natural to want to commit to buffing up the body in time for swimsuit season.
