In the wake of these two showings plus a night at New York's Mercury Lounge, the 10 piece soul contingent is finally getting a taste of national hype well beyond the Midwestern region. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/kingsgoforthnewyorker.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/kingsgoforthnewyorker.html?22867 Fri, 11 Jun 2010 22:32:00 CDT Make the trip south and you'll run into plenty of Milwaukeeans flocking to Austin, Texas, fulfilling the notion that it is becoming a "transplant" city. But, we certainly aren't the only ones. http://onmilwaukee.com/visitors/articles/keepaustinweird.html http://onmilwaukee.com/visitors/articles/keepaustinweird.html?22029 Sat, 13 Mar 2010 13:01:00 CDT Inspired by the urban street photography featured in "Street Seen: The Psychological Gesture in American Photography 1940-1959" at the Milwaukee Art Museum, I will share a snapshot of a Milwaukee landmark each day for the 10 days leading up to "MAM After Dark"on March 12. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/daytenpostcardsfrommilwaukee.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/daytenpostcardsfrommilwaukee.html?22002 Sat, 13 Mar 2010 12:13:00 CDT Whether you're looking for a cozy snug, traditional Irish stew, live Irish ballad or a green beer at 6 a.m., Milwaukee's got you covered.

Drawing the sizeable yearning crowd that Wisconsin-native Bon Iver was able to pull back in October, The Low Anthem and The Avett Brothers coveted silent attention from start to end. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/theavettbrothers2010.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/theavettbrothers2010.html?21960 Sun, 7 Mar 2010 01:05:00 CDT Inspired by the urban street photography featured in "Street Seen: The Psychological Gesture in American Photography 1940-1959" at the Milwaukee Art Museum, I will share a snapshot of a Milwaukee landmark each day for the 10 days leading up to "MAM After Dark"on March 12. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/mamafterdarkday3.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/mamafterdarkday3.html?21926 Sat, 6 Mar 2010 12:16:00 CDT It's been a long winter so far. With a sluggish economy and everyone needing to cut back, we've been on a quest for a deal from every angle. So, as the door to March opens, and we see spring in our sights, it's time to take account and rejoice in the great deals pushing us through the winter and leading into spring. Deals, of course, for "Happy Hour." http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/onthetownhappyhour.html http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/onthetownhappyhour.html?21951 Fri, 5 Mar 2010 16:38:00 CDT Inspired by the urban street photography featured in "Street Seen: The Psychological Gesture in American Photography 1940-1959" at the Milwaukee Art Museum, I will share a snapshot of a Milwaukee landmark each day for the 10 days leading up to "MAM After Dark"on March 12. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/mamafterdarkday2.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/mamafterdarkday2.html?21924 Fri, 5 Mar 2010 12:35:00 CDT Inspired by the urban street photography featured in "Street Seen: The Psychological Gesture in American Photography 1940-1959" at the Milwaukee Art Museum, OnMilwaukee.com Staff Writer Maureen Post will share a snapshot of a Milwaukee landmark each day for the 10 days leading up to "MAM After Dark"on March 12. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/mamstreetseenday1.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/mamstreetseenday1.html?21923 Thu, 4 Mar 2010 12:10:00 CDT Starting today, OnMilwaukee.com is taking it to the streets.

Main St., manages to encapsulate them all. If you're getting ready to book a trip to see the Brewers warm up for the 2010 baseball season, you could hardly stay at a more stylish hotel when you're in the area. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/hotelvalleyho2010.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/hotelvalleyho2010.html?21913 Tue, 2 Mar 2010 15:47:00 CDT If you want expert confirmation that our culinary scene is moving in the right direction, the James Beard Award is your answer. In a category that encompasses eight Midwestern states, Wisconsin makes one of the strongest showings with four nominees for "Best Midwest Chef" plus nominees for "Rising Star Chef of the Year" and "Outstanding Restaurant." http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/jamesbeard2010.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/jamesbeard2010.html?21906 Tue, 2 Mar 2010 15:32:00 CDT Born and raised in Delavan, Bobby Gleason started out as a valet, then a bar back and is now master mixologist for Beam Global Spirits and Wine. Not only that, but he's the national ambassador for the Bartenders Guild, hosting trainings all over the world, including here in Milwaukee. http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/mastermixologist.html http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/mastermixologist.html?21886 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 16:24:00 CDT Hosted by the Bradley Center on Sunday night, "Band Together for Haiti" brings Milwaukee bands The Love Monkeys, The Boogiemen and Eddie Butts Band all under one roof. One hundred percent of ticket sales and fifty percent of concessions will be donated to UNICEF's efforts in Haiti. http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/bandtogetherforhaiti.html http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/bandtogetherforhaiti.html?21872 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 11:53:00 CDT Racine native Suzanne Jamieson hasn't slowed down for a second since leaving Wisconsin at the age of 18 to pursue her "show-biz" bug. Living in Los Angeles, Jamieson appears in several national commercials, writes the "Haute Health" food blog and just released her debut album, "A Sun-Up Sky." http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/suzannejamieson.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/suzannejamieson.html?21862 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 09:43:00 CDT As part of the Harley-Davidson Museum's "Harleys and Hollywood," two movie industry insiders stop in Milwaukee to spill the scoop on the behind-the-scenes stunt and trick techniques in "Untold Stories." http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/harleyhollywoodguests.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/harleyhollywoodguests.html?21861 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 13:34:00 CDT While you're tipping back the beers, bulk up on Karma's new "Karma-Que." The new barbeque menu pulled pork, ribs, beef brisket and roasted chicken. Not into grilled meats? Opt for the home-style gourmet Mac n Cheese. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/rapidreview.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/rapidreview.html?21753 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 10:10:00 CDT As with so many electronic advances, the pro and the con is precisely the same: you can access any song you want, but so can anyone else in the bar. In honor and consideration of this age old institution, we take a look at the pros and cons of the digital music age. http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/onthetownjukebox.html http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/onthetownjukebox.html?21694 Sat, 20 Feb 2010 15:02:00 CDT The folks at The Pabst and Riverside Theater are setting up spring with lots of laughs. Bill Maher, Steve Martin and Craig Ferguson all make their way to Milwaukee for three very funny, entertaining shows. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/threecomedians.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/threecomedians.html?21793 Thu, 18 Feb 2010 11:19:00 CDT Take Downtown Milwaukee during a sporting event at the Bradley Center or in the Third Ward during theater season: street parking is limited, forcing many into structures for $5 or $10 charges. So, at what price level should valet enter the picture? http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/valetparkingblog.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/valetparkingblog.html?21785 Thu, 18 Feb 2010 08:26:00 CDT Part bar, part restaurant, Bay View's Cafe Lulu is as a great a place to stop for a drink as it is for a sandwich, salad or slice of pie. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/rapidreviewlulu2.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/rapidreviewlulu2.html?21696 Tue, 16 Feb 2010 11:19:00 CDT Locally, tomorrow's "Fat Tuesday" takes on several historic meanings with traditional Polish indulgence in the anticipation of the Lenten season and the ritual mixing of America's first cocktail in Cajun and Creole Mardi Gras celebration. However you opt to indulge, there's a universal understanding that the day is all about one thing: gluttony and extravagance. http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/fattuesday2010.html http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/fattuesday2010.html?21730 Mon, 15 Feb 2010 13:04:00 CDT There seems to be consensus that blues clubs in Milwaukee are few and far between. Accordingly, the lack of local venues begs the question, is Milwaukee still singing the blues? In short, the answer is a bit fuzzy, a resounding, "maybe." http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/milwaukeebluesscene.html http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/milwaukeebluesscene.html?21721 Sat, 13 Feb 2010 13:04:00 CDT Forte, who was released from prison in 2008, got back into the studio to turn trauma into art. Just in time for his show this Sunday at Shank Hall, we chatted with John Forte about his new EP, life since his release and the promise of an upcoming full-length album. http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/johnforteshankhall.html http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/johnforteshankhall.html?21725 Fri, 12 Feb 2010 16:08:00 CDT Waited until the last minute to make a Valentine's Day plan? Don't worry, we won'te tell. Here's a list of a few specialty options to entertain your sweetie this weekend. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/valentines2010.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/valentines2010.html?21727 Fri, 12 Feb 2010 03:35:00 CDT The CNN article notes that Chinese investors have historically purchased land and space in coastal cities like New York and Los Angeles; pointing out that Toward Group's Milwaukee purchase is the first move into the "Rust Belt." http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/cnnchinesemegamall.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/cnnchinesemegamall.html?21701 Thu, 11 Feb 2010 07:06:00 CDT Want to travel overseas without leaving the city? Carleton Grange Pub and Restaurant takes its name from an international student hostel London, England's borough of Islington. You can grab a beer, dinner or brunch in true English style but still be back in time to get to work in Milwaukee the next morning. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/rapidreviewcarletongrange.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/rapidreviewcarletongrange.html?21624 Tue, 9 Feb 2010 15:09:00 CDT I started thinking about a neighborhood bar that could be the source of all-day entertainment. Essentially, if you were stuck for the entire day, which bar would you want to make home? http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/sippingawaythesnow.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/sippingawaythesnow.html?21678 Tue, 9 Feb 2010 11:34:00 CDT Last week, Pizza Man and the Twisted Fork raised $9,300 for those who lost their home and belongings in the tragic Pizza Man building fire on Jan. 19. This week, your generous donations will be distributed. http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/pizzamanbenefitdistribution.html http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/pizzamanbenefitdistribution.html?21661 Mon, 8 Feb 2010 11:51:00 CDT A brand new concept in an old location, Hosed on Brady opened last fall in the spot formerly occupied by Franklin Place. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/rapidreviewhosed.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/rapidreviewhosed.html?21601 Sun, 7 Feb 2010 14:01:00 CDT Take any liquor store, wine bar or restaurant wine list and it's easy to be lost within a single glimpse. Not only are there dozens of grapes, vineyards and varieties but now add tag-lines like Fair Trade, organic, biodynamic, vegan and sustainable to the list and the whole thing gets a lot more complex. http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/veganorganicwine.html http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/veganorganicwine.html?21646 Sat, 6 Feb 2010 16:35:00 CDT I assume other cities and brewers see Wisconsin as a homeland of quality beer that can stand against anything produced in another state. But lately, I've sometimes had the feeling that everyone thinks that about their own state. So, is there truth to our claim? http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/wisconsinbeers.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/wisconsinbeers.html?21648 Sat, 6 Feb 2010 01:34:00 CDT So, in honor of the Super Bowl and the tradition of beer, let's take it out of its pure form and highlight the versatility of mixing and drinking with beer by looking at a few cocktail recipes that are spicing it up. http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/onthetownbeer.html http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/onthetownbeer.html?21634 Fri, 5 Feb 2010 16:32:00 CDT Last weekend, the Milwaukee Art Museum opened "Street Seen," an exhibit revealing six photographers whose style defined New York Photography in the '40s, '50s and '60s. Last week, I had the chance to sit down with one of the featured artists, Saul Leiter. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/saulleiterstreetseen.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/saulleiterstreetseen.html?21604 Wed, 3 Feb 2010 09:04:00 CDT In anticipation of a month fully infused with new bar stories and talk of drinking, it's time to take a look at last year's dedication to Milwaukee's finest establishments. http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/onthetownbarmonth.html http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/onthetownbarmonth.html?21542 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 15:07:00 CDT "Milwaukee Film Festival -- Winter Edition" will be miniature version of the larger fest with nine films shown during the week of March 12-18 at Marcus North Shore Theaters, 17000 N. Port Washington Rd. http://onmilwaukee.com/movies/articles/milwaukeefilmwinterfestival.html http://onmilwaukee.com/movies/articles/milwaukeefilmwinterfestival.html?21539 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 11:36:00 CDT Running from 1 to 9 p.m. Sunday, "Our Milwaukee 4 Haiti" benefit will support two locally connected organizations, Friends of the Orphans and Youthaiti, who are working to provide emergency earthquake relief and investing in long-term rebuilding. http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/ourmilwaukee4haiti.html http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/ourmilwaukee4haiti.html?21520 Wed, 27 Jan 2010 09:01:00 CDT In his self-titled show, Theaster Gates explores the work of pottery maker Dave Drake, a slave who lived in Edgefield, South Carolina. Drake produced alkaline-glazed stoneware pottery in the 1820s through 1860s while living under slavery. Gates exhibit will expand on Drake's work with a multi-media installation including sculpture, video and music. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/joyceaward2010.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/joyceaward2010.html?21517 Tue, 26 Jan 2010 15:37:00 CDT Ask for information and you shall receive. Not long after posting a brief regarding the closing of east side's Vox, OnMilwaukee.com received confirmation that the Vox is indeed permanently closed and will re-open as Vintage, 2203 N. Prospect Ave., in March. http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/voxvintage.html http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/voxvintage.html?21496 Sun, 24 Jan 2010 12:49:00 CDT Paired with 88.9 Radio Milwaukee, the InterContinental's "Underground" series continues in January with three upcoming shows, including tonight's modern squeeze-box performance by Pezzettino. http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/onthetownunderground.html http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/onthetownunderground.html?21473 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 15:04:00 CDT Tonight Anthony Bourdain stops at The Riverside in the midst of filming a Milwaukee/Madison episode for his Travel Channel show "No Reservations." He has never done a show in Milwaukee or Wisconsin for that matter, and for a show listed without a description, he's done more than alright by selling out the box office. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/bourdainshow2010.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/maureenpost/bourdainshow2010.html?21482 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 13:44:00 CDT OnMilwaukee.com has come to presume The Vox, 2203 N. Prospect Ave., is closed. Windows covered in brown paper and a disconnected phone number are clues that the East Side bar has shut its doors, at least temporarily. http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/voxclosed2010.html http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/voxclosed2010.html?21474 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 13:32:00 CDT For the sake of the "Shift Switch" series, I switched shifts and took on the job of handler at the first of Central Bark's 10 Milwaukee locations, 5780 W. Hemlock St. More or less, I'd do what the handlers do, while they put up with my barrage of questions and filled me in on the job. http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/shiftswitchcentralbark.html http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/shiftswitchcentralbark.html?21455 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 15:14:00 CDT
