If you haven’t already, check out the old Albanese’s building on the corner of Keefe Avenue and Pierce Street. It’s looking like it could give The Pfister a run for its money, which wouldn’t be too far of a stretch, considering they are both designed by the same architect, Charles Koch.

History: Decision to Begin a Master Plan for Milwaukee’s Central Park – 2008
By the end of 2008, members of the Milwaukee River Greenway Coalition decided they could and should start work on a master plan for Milwaukee’s Central Park. The members of the MRGC were the groups most intimately connected to, involved with, and informed about the corridor. They had been involved with the corridor for long periods of time. They possessed the information and shared a vision for the future of the corridor.

Eighth Annual Clean Rivers Clean Lake Conference on April 30, 2012 at Discovery World
by Vince Bushell
What struck me first and foremost about this conference was Melanie Ariens’s art. It was on display and hanging in the window in the long entrance way of Discovery World. Expanding on her metaphor, hanging there in the window was the familiar, her blue jean baby. Recycled, maybe a little worse for wear, but still functional, indeed vital for life.

Sewer News – Sewer Gas – Sewer Repairs
by Vince Bushell Our sewer system is under ground, out of sight, and usually out of mind. Until something bad happens or something is different that we notice or when we find out how much this infrastructure costs. Some Riverwesters have been noticing a “smell” along the river and possibly in some homes. If you smell sewer gas or a plasticy smell in your home be sure to read the advice at the end of this column. Sewers create sewer gas, as part of normal operation, although you should not smell it in your home. It is not a pleasant smell.
