One of the most distinctive and iconic elements of Milwaukee's skyline, City Hall had been battered by a century of weathering, hard use and insensitive alterations until Mayor Tom Barrett embarked on an ambitious, historically-accurate exterior renovation project that included workforce development.

Description
Milwaukee: A City Built on Water | Program |
[Original Airdate: April 22, 2015]
Historian John Gurda explores how the Milwaukee River and Lake Michigan spurred Milwaukee's growth. The settlers used rivers and Lake Michigan to transport grain, lumber, leather and beer, but water was just as important for play as it was for work. Gurda explains how the Milwaukee River became a destination for fun. Learn how the lower Milwaukee River was eventually reduced to an open sewer by 1900, with Lake Michigan suffering similar indignities. Only in recent decades have the currents turned for the better. From the Milwaukee River Greenway to the reborn Menomonee Valley to the cultural theme park on our downtown lakefront, the patterns of the past are being reversed, providing cause for celebration as well as concern.

Milwaukee, USA: In Motion!
We spent five days in Milwaukee in May 2016, and were completely (and very pleasantly) surprised by how cool Milwaukee is!
If we had to come up with one word to describe Milwaukee, it'd definitely be entrepreneurial. We met a lot of small business owners who are changing the face of the city, and we also learned about the big Milwaukeean dynasties like Pabst and Miller that built the city in centuries past.
In this video, the locations you see are as follows:
The Milwaukee River and riverfront/riverwalk in downtown -- on weekend evenings, Milwaukeeans jump on their boats and cruise up and down the river. We grabbed a beer at Rock Bottom Brewery and watched it all happen!
A view of downtown Milwaukee as seen from the 6th Street Viaduct. In the bottom left-hand of the shot, you can see the Harley-Davidson Museum, which is a cool thing to do in Milwaukee, even if you don't like motorcycles. We also suggest you stop by the Great Lakes Distillery, for drinks and a tour near the viaduct, and the Iron Horse hotel for food!
The historical-looking building is Milwaukee's City Hall, and the really cool-looking modern building is the Art Gallery.
Around 0:22, you'll see Old World Third Street. It's the historical German area of town, and even today there are many German restaurants and artisan food producers that have been operating in the same spot for more than 100 years! We took a food tour with Milwaukee Food Tours, and learned all about the German influence on Milwaukee.
Milwaukee is synonymous with BEER, and one of the best things to do in Milwaukee is to go on a brewery tour. We went on the Miller tour, which was FREE and included samples. We also went on the Lakefront Brewery Tour - one of the best (and funniest) in the country. The Lakefront tour charges, but is very worthwhile, and includes free samples, a free gift, and some hilarious memories!
Other locations include:
The Bronz Fonz
The Harley-Davidson Museum
Milwaukee Public Market
Bayview Neighborhood
The Pabst Mansion
Walkers Point
The hotel at the end is the Potawatomi Hotel & Casino, where we were hosted. The hotel is quite new, and was built for visitors to the city, and visitors to the casino. It's really well located for visiting the Harley Museum...only a short walk away.
Thanks to Visit Milwaukee for hosting us during our time in Milwaukee. We had a tonne of fun.

Milwaukee is a city in the U.S. state of Wisconsin on Lake Michigan's western shore. It's known for its breweries, many of which offer tours chronicling its role in the beer industry. Overlooking the Menomonee River, the Harley-Davidson Museum displays classic motorcycles, including one of Elvis Presley’s. Nearby is the Milwaukee Public Museum, with its large-scale European Village and a recreation of old Milwaukee.
Milwaukee has historically been a major immigrant city. During the early 20th Century, German and Polish immigrants tended to dominate, and the city still strongly identifies with its German and, to a slightly lesser extent, Polish heritage. For part of the early 20th century German was even the main language of the city, and German names are still very common.
Milwaukee is home to some instantly recognized corporations such as Miller Brewing and Harley Davidson. Harley holds an enormous celebration on every fifth anniversary during Labor Day weekend attracting riders (and celebrity riders such as Jay Leno) by the millions to Milwaukee each time. The 115th anniversary was held in 2018.
Here’s the thing about Milwaukee: it’s cool, but for some reason it slips under the radar. The city’s reputation as a working man's town of brewskis, bowling alleys and polka halls still persists. But attractions like the Calatrava-designed art museum, badass Harley-Davidson Museum and stylish eating and shopping enclaves have turned Wisconsin's largest city into an unassumingly groovy place. In summertime, festivals let loose with revelry by the lake almost every weekend. And where else on the planet will you see racing sausages?
Getting around in Milwaukee is easy. Block numbers are consistent across the city, including most of the suburbs, starting roughly where the Milwaukee and Menominee rivers meet. All numbered streets run north-south, increasing in number as you head west from 1st Street. Most named streets go east-west.

The Last Socialist Mayor of Milwaukee
Could socialism ever really take off in America? Half a century ago, socialists ruled a major American city. It’s in the Midwest...and no,not Chicago. Milwaukee, Wisconsin. A city better known for beer than radical politics. And, yet, once upon a time, it elected a whole string of socialist mayors. Including Frank Zeidler.

Milwaukee Lakeshore State Park -- transforming the city's downtown lakefront
Lakeshore State Park has helped transform Milwaukee's downtown lakefront on Lake Michigan into a major cultural district and community gateway. The effort required extensive public and stakeholder input, complex regulatory approvals, and innovative breakwater and shoreline protection. Now a premier public destination with connections to the Milwaukee Art Museum, Discovery World and the Summerfest grounds, Lakeshore State Park is an urban oasis with wide-open green spaces and water-based recreational opportunities.

Budget Brief: 2018 Proposed City of Milwaukee Budget
Our analysis (released October 2017) of the Mayor's proposed City of Milwaukee budget indicates that structural challenges have come to a head. As a result, annual cuts in public safety staffing, as well as property tax increases that exceed the rate of inflation, may become the norm.

US History Project: Northern Newscast
This is a fake newscast that is trying to simulate how people in Milwaukee, Wisconsin felt about the Civil Rights Movement and racial conflicts. Milwaukee was one of several cities across America to experience outburst of rights based on racial tensions in the summer of 1967 all so known as Long Hot Summer of 1967. Due to an increase police brutality, high unemployment rate, strict living requirements, and unfair job opportunities tension between blacks and whites worsened. Other riots due to racial tension in other cities like Detroit also caused worsening tensions. The city council of Milwaukee kept overriding the fair housing plan which made it harder for the growing black population to get a decent place to live so most of them had to live on the north side. If any would tread on the south side it wouldn't end good. Martin Luther King Jr. helped start a march in Milwaukee about a year and a half before the riot which pushed blacks to push for raising minimum and to create equal opportunities for employment.
The riot started on Saturday, July 29, 1967 two African-American ladies started fighting at the corner of 4th Street and West Brown Street right outside of St. Francis Social Center. About 350 people watched the fight. Police came to break up the fight. The crowd started throwing rocks at the cop cars. More cops came with riot gear and the crowd quickly disbanded.
On Sunday, July 30, 1967 supposedly police brutally beat Squire Austin, a young boy at a civil rights rally. About 300 people started fires and shooting up stored owned by white people. Police retaliated with violence. In turn, the mob reacted more violently with more fights, more fires, more bombs, and more shootings. Firefighter would try to put out the fires but people would pelt them with rocks.
On Monday, July 31, 1967 four people dyed due to the chaos of the riot. At 2:26 a.m. the mayor issued a state of emergency. The Wisconsin National Guard came in to enforce city wide curfews.
The following days were full of curfew relaxations and lessening of tension.
The result of these events is four dead, 100 injured, 1,740 arrested, and $300,000 of damage and expenses.
