Clutch Milwaukee kicking new restaurant into gear
The tapas restaurant planned for the former La Piazza space at 1504 E. North Ave. will be called Clutch Milwaukee. Though a sign in the window directs the curious to ClutchMilwaukee.com, that site is not yet live.
However, the restaurant has a Facebook page.
According to that page, the restaurateurs are building out the space themselves, including making bar stools, tables, chairs and booths.
A chef is currently designing a menu and the page suggests that the place will open April 1, but a peek inside suggests it could take longer than that.
You can follow the progress on Facebook or on Twitter.
We'll update you with details, too, as we get them.

Went for a drink last night. Wow??? Drunken owners wife / girlfriend bossing around the bartender and generally being a jerk was so sad to see. Not sure I've ever seen anything more embarrassing in a restaurant in my life. My advice is don't get faced in your own place and act like a fool. The Stallis vibe is kind of gross too. I was hoping the place would be so much better.

Pabst's enduring pavilion faces extinction
Published May 20, 2013
Thanks to Erik Larson's 2003 bestseller, "The Devil in the White City," yet another generation is fascinated by the 1893 Chicago World's Fair: Columbian Exposition. Despite its enduring - in itself somewhat surprising - popularity, little remains of this by all accounts stunning little temporary city. One survivor serves as the entrance and gift shop to The Pabst Mansion, 2000 W. Wisconsin Ave., and it is in increasingly desperate condition.
The coolest record of the '60s folk revival was made in Milwaukee
Published May 20, 2013
As part of "The Avant Garde Coffee House Project" exhibit currently on view, there's a glass-topped case with some posters and a record. It's a pretty nondescript thing, frankly, with a black and white photo and some not especially artful text. But that little record - "Blues, Rags and Hollers," by folk blues trio Koerner, Ray & Glover - made a big bang when it was released in June 1963. And it was made in Milwaukee.
Former Color Truth frontman Steinbach finds the road back
Published May 19, 2013
It's been a long time since we've heard from Zach Steinbach. Nearly five years ago Steinbach fronted The Color Truth, a Milwaukee band that seemed poised to take the next step with its big, melodic, poppy rock and roll. The band fizzled out a couple years back, leaving Steinbach a bit lost. But now, he's back. He's got a band, and he's got a new solo record. More, than anything, he says, he's got a new lease on a musical life.
Let's put the "front" back in Front Street
Published May 16, 2013
For a variety of reasons, I've been thinking about Front Street, which now seems so ironically named, fronting as it does onto nothing and serving as the ultimate definition of a Milwaukee "backstreet." In my mind, I see something much different that can be seen on the block today.
