4th Grade Reading | Vision for Milwaukee
https://visionformilwaukee.wordpress.com/2011/03/10/4th-grade-reading
Discussions for a better Milwaukee. Highlight Milwaukee – Wisconsin Avenue. Feeding a Healthy City →. March 10, 2011. As a I start the first of what should be a number of discussions on education, I’m trying to break the education discussion into some very small components. There are so many variables that factor into a quality education that trying to tackle the system as a whole wouldn’t do each of the components justice. Why is this important? Grade functionally illiterate. Milwaukee is the 4. It’s su...

Segregation – Next Steps | Vision for Milwaukee

Discussions for a better Milwaukee. Highlight Milwaukee – Brew City. Segregation – Next Steps. April 22, 2011. It was no surprise for many Milwaukeeans when recent news came out letting us know that we we’ve maintained the top spot for the most segregated metro area in the US. Milwaukee has been a heavily segregated city for much of its existence, and we’ve done little recently to expect that to change. The 10 most segregated urban areas in America (click image to view story). I believe that Jesse Jackso...

Discussions for a better Milwaukee. Feeding a Healthy City. Segregation – Next Steps →. Highlight Milwaukee – Brew City. March 27, 2011. Some people cringe when they hear Milwaukee referred to as Brew City. They think that it’s a relic from our brewing hay day and should fade away like our old industrial nickname toolbox of the world . While our brewing history has seen its ups and downs, I’m still proud to call Milwaukee Brew City. Condos now occupy part of the former Blatz Brewery. Changing tastes have...

Discussions for a better Milwaukee. Creating a Vision for Milwaukee. February 26, 2011. Recently there was a discussion thread on Dave Schlabowske’s blog. But, what are we the best at? Or, what should we strive to be the best at? Even if we were the best at that one thing, would it be enough to improve the lives of all Milwaukeeans? Would that one thing attract or retain young professionals or additional travelers to our city? What if our vision for Milwaukee is to be The Best Place to Live. Over 125 are...

Discussions for a better Milwaukee. Taken while kayaking at the junction of the Milwaukee and Menomonee River. Kayaking is a quietly celebrated sport in Milwaukee. There are several access points to the Milwaukee/Menomonee/Kinnickinnic Rivers. I’ve only really used the boat launch at the intersection of Water St. and Bruce St. Lake Michigan can be accessed at South Shore Park and Bradford Beach, as well as several other beaches and boat launches. Taken from atop Kilbourn/Reservoir Park. Join 10 other fol...

Go ahead, you know you want to subscribe to this blog so that you get alerted when I’ve posted something new.

Discussions for a better Milwaukee. 4th Grade Reading →. Highlight Milwaukee – Wisconsin Avenue. March 3, 2011. While it’s my intention to use the majority of this blog to bring about thoughtful discussion on changes we can implement to make Milwaukee the best place to live. My first of these was picked because Wisconsin Avenue shows great examples of the diversity of businesses, schools, organizations, and residents that make up our city. I'll let you decide. Looking west from the start of Wisconsin Ave.
