Milwaukee is Flying

Growing up in Chicago, with much of my family residing in Milwaukee, the city became a second home.

These past 8 years or so the downtown Milwaukee district has vastly changed. I like to call it "The mid-west San Francisco."

The City Market, a wonderful international conglomerate of stands. Fresh fruit, fish, veggies, herbs spices, and a fantastic Italian grocer. Va Bene!

And might I add the BOOM of Cafes. 1. Alterra

"Built in 1888, the historic Milwaukee River Flushing Station is now home to Alterra at the Lake, a unique cafe/deli serving sandwiches, soups and salads, plus freshly brewed coffee, espresso, tea, and bakery items made daily from scratch."

While in Milwaukee over the July 4th weekend I stopped into this gardening store/Tea house....





Warehouses turning into magnificent Lofts, Museums, Breweries, and the Lake.

Milwaukee has sprouted Wings.
