On the town in Milwaukee: Less than a year and counting
We've rolled into the final year of smoky bars and cigarettes over beers. At least indoors that is. The impending city wide and statewide smoking ban goes into effect July 5, 2010 and so with less than a year left, Milwaukeeans have a limited time to embrace and enjoy their tobacco filled evenings.

An irregular regular
Maybe it's because of "Cheers" or something, but I always kinda thought it would be cool to be a regular at a bar. Not a sad, always-drunk, pathetic regular, but one of those folks who pops in a few times a week, never needs to order because the bartenders always know what you want and feels right at home among all the familiar faces.

Milwaukee's best bar games, 2009: Landmark Lanes
Landmark Lanes wins the readers' choice award for best bar games in Milwaukee and by doing so, confirms what we were all thinking. It might be old school but it's hard to find another bar with the sheer quantity of games found underground at Landmark Lanes.

A party for your classic holiday sweater
I tried to determine if this was indeed a Sunday morning Christmas party or possibly the remnants of an all night party the night before. Either way, the group was complete with Santa Clause in a stuffed suit, gaudy sweaters matched with pink sweat pants, sleeveless snowman vests with bare arms and turtlenecks or dickeys covering every neck.

Urban Outfitters adds jolt to buzzing 'hood
There is no denying, however, that with iNova Gallery, Urban Outfitters, Esselle and Anytime Fitness in the Kenilworth Building, which used to look like dead space in the heart of the East Side, the neighborhood around OnMilwaukee.com's North Avenue office is as vibrant as ever and perhaps more so than ever.
