Rob's knowledge and passion for all things "nerdy" made our humble little website a better place. He had the same effect on countless other communities. A huge loss. I can't believe he's gone.

R.I.P. Rob Wieland

It's a small thing, but I just got off the phone with this guy, and that's pretty neat. (I'll be moderating the Q&A on Friday, too! Come on out!)

Went to Paddy’s Pub for the first time in forever and remembered that it’s basically one of the buildings in the Streets of Old Milwaukee come to full-sized life. Smells like one, too!

I wrote about / reported on Cactus Club changing city policy for the better. Again.

Thanks to Cactus Club, it will be cheaper for businesses to make entrances more accessible

“Public policy should incentivize, not penalize, change that enhances our collective quality of life.”

Neat video. The "search" for Cesar's Inn is a bit much since, well, it's still open, it's in the exact same location as it was in 1982, and there's plenty of info about it online. Still a neat video!
