Less concrete, more development is how we get to 1 million people.
The vocal group of advocates for demolition of downtown’s Interstate 794 bridges is looking to grow their coalition with the next phase of their outreach: Renderings showing new neighborhoods and towers. Get a look at what it could look like.
I agree Tony.
What a great program in Denver.
The landlord makes some money, spaces are filled and hopefully, the landlord gains a tenant from the small business. If not, people get to see the space and maybe they get a different tenant.
Mayor of Milwaukee
It’s about 9:30 on a Thursday morning, and the buzz at Tea with Tae on Denver’s 16th Street Mall is comfortingly familiar.
Finally!!!
Fees, citations, even demolition for non-compliance after child tests positive for lead.
Thank you for your service!
Jared Hinsenkamp graduates Thursday from the Milwaukee fire academy, becoming the 11th MFD firefighter in his family tree, and the 12th firefighter overall.
Not great Bob.

Great news for downtown Milwaukee. Now let’s get a Target!
The first business day after Kohl’s Corp. announced a new downtown Milwaukee store, a major retail tenant located nearby in The Avenue renewed its lease to stick around another five years. Find out the details.
Golden State Warriors love their guys! Congrats Patrick!
University of Wisconsin Milwaukee's Patrick Baldwin Jr. was selected by the Golden State Warriors during the NBA Draft Thursday night.
Someone needs to stop this from happening in Milwaukee!
Great news.
Some events will need to re-organize to survive. Looking forward to supporting.
This.
The Pabst / Riverside / Turner Hall group.
Our hearts and deepest sorrows go out to the families impacted by the shooting at Robb Elementary. We must remember to never normalize these occurrences. Protect kids, protect people, not guns.
Exciting development for Downtown and Marquette. We will be the music city soon!

Are food trucks the problem in the water street area?
What do you think?
In a Tuesday press conference following three shootings in downtown Milwaukee on Friday night, including one that saw 17 people shot near Juneau and Water, Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson announced changes for food trucks.
Know something, say something.

A lot of great community pieces from the Milwaukee Brewers this year. Awesome work Christian Yelich.
Where you at Milwaukee Bucks?
The lasting effects of situations like these are a burden on many people. Please seek the help that you need.
I want to hear “Why” from the 4 individuals charged. There was talk of some wearing masks in an interview. Was it premeditated? Are they from Milwaukee?
Thank you as always to the efforts of the Milwaukee Police Department. It has to be hard to put on that uniform these days.
Someone in the City hire these kids immediately! Awesome work and vision.
We need more condos and low income housing. These luxury apartments are getting out of control.

Opens tomorrow!
Classy move Mayor Cavalier Johnson. Can’t argue with Stephen this time as it did just snow this morning ❄️
MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson is attempting to mend relations with ESPN's First Take hosts in his first week in office.The hosts referred to Milwaukee as a "terrible city" whi
Last night I had a wonderful dinner at Milwaukee's newest restaurant, Pepperpot located on MLK Drive. We had the pleasure of connecting with the owner Dwight and am excited to support him and his staff in the future.
Jerk chicken anyone? Go check them out!
The King Drive restaurant will be a second location, with table service and a bar. The original takeout location on West Capitol Drive will remain.
MASH is TRASH.
The Pabst theater group employees should be gathering support from a different local union who actually listens to their members and stands for what a union is about. The Milwaukee Area Service & Hospitality Workers Organization or MASH wouldn’t let me and other candidates speak to their members during the mayoral primary, even though their members were asking for us to be in their forum. Blatantly ignoring their own member requests to be heard, how is that a strong union?
I wish the PTG employees the best though.
Pabst Theater Group reject workers initial request to recognize their union leading to a vote at the NLRB. Workers are confident they'll win.
Very important…
These 38 illustrations don't just have noble intentions and a positive community focus, they're also awesome. Even the worst one is great, but there are some clear favorites.
Milwaukee, we have a chance to make history on Tuesday by electing our city's first black mayor.
I had the pleasure to share a stage with Cavalier Johnson during the primary and enjoyed hearing his story. I am voting for him because I believe he is our best option to get our city to 600,000 people and am hopeful in his plan to reduce violence.
I'd love to see him announce his plan to run for re-election in 2024 on Day 1 in office to hush any critics and prove his commitment to our city.
Vote Johnson on April 5th!
Ben is 5 and battling cancer, but was shown a great night by the Oilers. Stay strong Ben!
This is what sports should be about.
Great work from these local restaurants. Go support them and enjoy some amazing food.
I went to Birch 2 weeks ago and it was fantastic.
These Milwaukee-area chefs and restaurants have been named as finalists for the 2022 James Beard Awards!
Congratulations Paul!
If you haven’t tried Mi Casa Su Cafe on MLK, put it on your lunch schedule for this week.
Mi Casa Su Cafe on MLK Drive is a restaurant known for their American Southern Comfort style food.
Love this!
Go support this young man.
Josh Bizub, is not your average teenager. Rather than focusing on having fun during the second semester of his senior year, he is working harder than ever. He is employed full time at Gold Coast Subs, goes to online school before and after work, and works another part time job on Sundays.
Keep the development coming!
New apartments, new bike lanes, more.
The mask mandate ends today. 🍻
If there is one thing that I am proud of in my mayoral run, is that I helped push for an end date for the mandate. The original legislation did not have one.
There are certain areas of Milwaukee that you will still need to wear one, details in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article below:
Milwaukee's mask requirement ended Tuesday as the metrics the city and county use to determine the severity of COVID-19 in the community had been improving.
There are good people like Amondo Duckworth out there trying to make Milwaukee a better place.
Two days after the primary I did not have time to sulk. I promised Amondo I would help him pick up trash in his neighborhood. Let his story inspire you.
Amondo Duckworth has turned his life around after being released from prison. He is all about change and accountability.
Jerk chicken blocks from my house. Great news for Bronzeville.
The King Drive restaurant will be a second location, with table service and a bar. The original takeout location on West Capitol Drive will remain.
This mayoral run has been an incredibly rewarding experience but it’s definitely brought upon some grey hairs.
I spent the last two months running my first ever campaign on my own: talking to reporters, attending forums, creating social media posts, flyering doors and not sleeping much. If your house got a flyer, I put it there. If you got a response to a comment or DM or email, that was me. I worked tirelessly for people who believed in me and supported my campaign. Thank you to those people.
I entered the arena, got beat up, but I am still standing. I know the potential Milwaukee has and will continue the fight for it.
When I decided to run for mayor, the first person I texted was acting Mayor Cavalier Johnson. I told him I thought the more people that enter this race and the more ideas that come from it, the better it will leave our city.
Cavalier Johnson has had a historic rise to the Mayor’s office. He is now about to become the first Black mayor of our city and he is absolutely the right person for the job.
Please get out and vote for Cavalier Johnson on April 5th. Thank you.
