Leaving Milwaukee for the Iron Horse Hotel
Friday night, the first floor of the Iron Horse Hotel was packed. From the Rehorst vodka and gin tasting in the library and the cozy couch filled lobby to the packed bar named Branded, people filled every available seat. And even though the bar was packed, maybe two or three deep the entire length of the bar, service was incredible. Hurriedly going from one customer to the next, bartenders were surprisingly focused yet friendly.

Latino speaks out about new life in Milwaukee
Most Central Americans came to the Midwest in the '80s to escape civil wars and extreme poverty in their homelands. Julio Espinoza arrived in 2001, without a job and able to speak only a few English words. After almost two years, he is able to conversationally speak English, has a job, owns a duplex in Riverwest and plans to attend UWM in the near future.
