The long nightmare is over!  The construction on the Humboldt Avenue Bridge is complete.  Hop in your cars, grab your bikes, throw the kids in the stroller.  Drive across, ride across, walk across.  The bridge is finally open!

Community Gardens Face Water Shut-Off 

Community gardening is expanding in Milwaukee. Last season there were 78 raised bed gardens in Kilbourn Park. This year there are 123.

On Memorial Day the Victory Garden Initiative (VGI) held their second annual Victory Garden Blitz and installed more than 100 back yard gardens throughout the city.

Hide House Community Garden in Bay View has 110 raised beds.
