10 Places To Visit In Milwaukee

10. Miller Park

The home of the Milwaukee Brewers is a must-see location. The racing sausages, the tailgating, and Hank the ballpark dog are all traditions for the Brewers.

9. Atwater Beach

Located in north Milwaukee in Shorewood, this Lake Michigan beach is truely unique. A steep cliff covered by huge stairs lead down to the clean, pretty waterfront.

8. Bangles and Bags

This adorable boutique is located in the Third Ward on North Broadway, just around the corner from Milwaukee School of Art & Design. Reasonably priced and trendy accessories make this store a favorite of mine.

7. Cafe Benelux

Also located in the Third Ward, Benelux is a European restaurant that has spectacular breakfast, lunch, and dinner dishes. Their panakuken (basically German crepes) are to die for.

6. Milwaukee County Zoo

A personal favorite spot of mine, because who doesn't love adorable animals? Milwaukee County Zoo is pretty big and located in Wawatosa, just off of Highway 100 and Bluemound.

5. McKinley Marina

McKinley Marina is located on Lincoln Memorial Drive near the art museum, and is a favorite spot of mine in the summer and spring. The long cement pier that stretches into Lake Michigan is enjoyable to walk on no matter what the weather, and gives you a great view of downtown Milwaukee from Lake Michigan.

4. Collectivo Coffee - Lakefront Cafe

Collectivo coffee has branches throughout Milwaukee and the surrounding counties, but the best location by far is also on Lincoln Memorial drive, right across from McKinley Marina. The building is quite old and the interior is as special as the exterior. I love sitting in a chair outside on a sunny day, and looking out at Lake Michigan.

3. Bradford Beach

Another favorite location of mine on Lincoln Memorial Drive is a busy place during the summer. Bradford Beach is a major hang out spot for teens & young adults along Lake Michigan.

2. Milwaukee Public Market

One of the most famous locations in Milwaukee has to be the Public Market. The variety of vendors and food choices make every single trip to the market fun.

1. Summerfest

Arguably my favorite place in the entire world, and the world's largest music festival. If you're reading this, go to Summerfest! I love living near Milwaukee for many reasons, especially Summerfest.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
