Greetings All,

Happy almost Friday, Happy almost End of the Week, and Happy almost Weekend! 

Oh the weather is gonna be SOOOO nice this weekend! And it’s gonna be a great weekend to be nice to our mothers (and those we look up to as mother figures…it’s Mother’s Day this weekend)!! And with the forecast being nothing less than awesome, it may be time for us Milwaukeeans to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors that surround our great city on a great lake. That said, let’s not forget about the awesome INDOOR things still happening around town like all our great theater productions (which unfortunately will be ending soon…all good things must come to an end and theater season is no exception). So let’s enjoy some great Spring weather whether it be inside or out.

And I can’t think of a better place to enjoy this Spring weekend than in Milwaukee, my home by the Lake. Milwaukee, in my humble opinion, is THE BEST little big city because it just so happens to be packed with tons of mega big city cool! So, are you interested in a few Milwaukee weekend things to do?
