ReThreads recycled clothing popped up on Humboldt. The incredible Centro Café, Planet Scooter, and Jazz Gallery are drawing folks to Center Street. Diners are exploring Latino cuisine at Nina’s Restaurant and Café Corazon.

March On Milwaukee!
PEOPLE who have taken part in protests and group actions report a kind of euphoria – some say it’s as powerful as falling in love. “Action fever,” they call it.
Milwaukee audiences are sure to feel some emotional heat if they attend March On Milwaukee, Margaret Rozga’s dramatic memoir. The scene with Christmas carolers outside the home of the landlord who refused to rent to Ronald Britton, a black Viet Nam vet, is guaranteed to bring a lump to the throat. Perhaps a blush to the cheek.
The play will be presented at 7 pm on Thursday, September 27 at the Humphrey Scottish Rite Center, 790 N. Van Buren St. It will kick off a weekend of events commemorating the open housing marches of 1967.

Club Timbuktu
Chef Chris Harris believes that preparing African food is like cooking any other cuisine. He says the tastes are reminiscent of foods from the Caribbean, India, Asia, and Jamaica. Perhaps some African natives might disagree, but Omar Gagale, owner of Club Timbuktu and a native of Somalia, respects Harris’s beliefs as well as his cooking. He has to — he hired him to be the chef at his club’s restaurant.
