Clock is ticking for decision on Hoan Bridge
It's been a semi-charmed kind of life for the Hoan Bridge, the yellow-arched icon of Milwaukee's Lakefront. But time could be running out for the Hoan Bridge. Built in the early 1970s but not opened to traffic until 1977, the nearly two-mile span over the Milwaukee Harbor is in need of replacement or repair.

An affordable lakefront fish fry with free film added
Sure, the cloudy skies and plummeting temps made Friday evening feel more like October than August, but that didn't put the kibosh on lakefront fun. As we arrived at the Friday Fish Fry and a Flick at Discovery World, we could see the Masterpiece car show at Veteran's Park and a wine tasting event just across the road from us at Milwaukee Art Museum.

Lakefront parking lots
On my way to the Milwaukee Art Museum yesterday I decided to take a quick detour through Veteran's Park, just to see if I've been missing anything and I was amazed by all the cars parked along the park drive.
