Mold–It’s Serious Stuff
People are getting sick because of something that can be fixed with a 98-cent bottle of bleach and a little old-fashioned elbow grease.

Laissez les bon temps roulez!
In Riverwest this cajun phrase takes on a whole new meaning. The good times keep rolling with a Polish flavor and a definite Milwaukee slant. The Alley, in this case, is down the stairs at the back of the Falcon Bowl on the corner of Clarke and Fratney. This place is a real landmark in Riverwest. It sits across from the Riverwest Co-op, a block west of St. Casimir’s steeple and a block south of Onopa.

The North Avenue Dam is Gone But Not Forgotten
Most people I have asked say, “Oh, it’s been at least ten years.” Or they say, “The dam’s been out since the early nineties.” Or in some cases, “I think it came out in the late seventies.” By looking at the land on both sides of the Milwaukee River above the North Avenue bridge, it is hard to know that the dam was removed in 1997. Barely five years ago!
