But only one could win the grand prize. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/riverskimmername.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/riverskimmername.html?30262 Wed, 23 May 2012 12:00:00 CDT Last week, a national consultant presented "The Top 10 Global Trends Affecting Downtowns and How To Respond in Milwaukee" at a symposium held at The Pfister Hotel.

Let's remember this, Milwaukee, as without Miller Park we would have never lured new ownership, new players and eventually a return to greatness and huge crowds that are the envy of much-larger cities.
