I love that there IS a used bookstore in the airport, but I find their prices weirdly high and never actually buy anything there.
The Milwaukee Art Museum is great -- as you'd expect from Milwaukee, some good German Expressionism in the permanent collection, and as you might not expect, some good, weird folk art too.
I have always heard good things about Serbian food there, esp. Three Brothers, but have never been. I like the Polish restaurant in the Public Market.

Endorsing the art museum, with its flapping wings and fun and manageable yet extensive collection. The public market had a great lobster dinner (I know, not exactly local fare) for $12. Waterpark in the Hilton Hotel was great for kids and isn't just for hotel guests.

The Expressionist print room is my favorite part of the art museum by far. They have a gazillion of them in the collection and rotate them out on a regular basis.

Pretty sure my bf applied for a job there but it was a long shot and no answer (yet?). But hey, I could end up back on this thread, wait and see!

And by "there", I mean, Milwaukee. Not the art museum in particular.

Someone had to do it.

OK, I guess I was lying upthread-- the lake was cold as fuck this morning. I don't know why I thought it ever gets any better.

Anyone who lives there know if the weather is generally that much better than it is in the Green Bay area? Is there really a difference?

Heading downtown there this evening. Will try to visit the Safe House.

Okay, Safe House would be much more fun as a group and visibly intoxicated.
