Best venue for food, 2009: Milwaukee Public Market
By best venue for food, we mean places you visit to do something besides eat -- such as sightsee, shop, watch sports. Most folks knew what we were talking about, and the winning choice was clear. The Public Market, which allows guests to shop and dine, collected nearly a third of the vote to wrestle the title away from runner-up (and editors' pick), the Wisconsin State Fair and No. 3 Summerfest.

I've grown back into State Fair
When I was a kid visiting from New York, I enjoyed State Fair, but as I got older I became more of a Summerfest person. These days, though, I'm back on the Fair wagon.

Sunday Sound-off: Big or small festivals?
Every weekend there's a festival in Brew City, some of which are held at the Henry Maier Festival Park (Summerfest grounds) and some that simply bust out on blocked-off streets or parks. There are pros and cons to both, but most people usually prefer one over the other. So, what's your vote: big or small Brew City festivals?

Father Phoenix is high voltage rock and roll
Amid a brightly lit stage, with burning lights adorning its small tent-like ceiling, four men take residency in its small corridors for 45 minutes -- that's all the time they need to break the walls down with their sound. This sound, coming from Milwaukee band Father Phoenix, filled the air last Friday at the Cascio Interstate Music Stage at Summerfest. Tonight, the band is back at the Cactus Club.

2009 Summerfest review
I have gone to every Summerfest since 1991 with the exception of last summer. Last summer I didn't for for 2 reasons: 1.) There were not really any bands I was dying to see 2.) The Ozaukee Flyer was not in walking distance of my house anymore. This year there are a few bands I wanted to...

A Eulogy for a SUPER Comet: DJ Rock Dee a Fine Entertainer
The time has come for Milwaukeeans to say good bye to cherished entertainer and DJ, who with flickers of emotion and an empassioned style, bore his own well wishings with such lavishings of caredom on radio regularly, that with a gaping hole, not with just any person's shoes could ...
