Oh, like handbill sizes! That's a great idea! Thank you!

Martha Dreams of Dinosaurs is a kids book, for sure. And it's wonderful. I bought a copy for my 3-year-old-daughter and she loves it.

This Road Must Go Somewhere (And Other Things I Told Myself) is not a kids book. It's a book about suicide and grief. It's good, but it's raw. $8 from every $10 book goes directly to NAMI.

Buy My Book: Not Because You Should, But Because I'd Like Some Money is stupid and fun, but only appropriate for anyone old enough to buy it with a credit card.

Not Pictured on the poster, but at the event, will also be The Status Game II: Dashboards and Gages which is about how people connect with others.

A short but good chapter on Wonderland (among other oddities) in Carl Swanson's Lost Milwaukee WorldCat; Amazon; Milwaukee Independent; OnMilwaukee. It skews toward parks and attractions like entertainment and infrastructure along the rivers and Lake, rather than the architectural/built environment, but lots of fun stuff. Cheers, Carl.

For lost architectural gems in Milwaukee, pre-historic (lol) preservation, you'll want Yance Marti's Missing Milwaukee, WorldCat; GoodReads; RadioMilwaukee; OnMilwaukee.

Then there's always the obligatory selfish plug for my prewar apartment buildings map for anyone who gives a shit.

Second this as well. John Gurda is one of the most well-known Milwaukee Historians.

For a college class focused on Milwaukee we read John Gurda's The Making of Milwaukee and Patrick Jones' The Selma of the North, which as you guest it, talks about the civil rights movement here in Milwaukee.

Both are quick reads that are easily available and relatively inexpensive. If you live in this city and want to know more these are two great places to learn about the history.

I recently sent this book of cryptograms to my brother-in-law who is deployed in Middle East. Not from Milwaukee newspaper, but might be another option if you just want the puzzles.

Pain, like everything in life, is impermanent. The notion that it is permanent is what is daunting. Once you accept that this situation, like every other in your life, is temporary and will come to pass, it will be a lot easier to deal with.

I don't have any delusions about reading a book curing you, but it might make it easier. Read this:

I've been looking for a place to find fresh passion fruit around the MKE area since I discovered their wonder in Australia a few years back. Not a very easy thing to find. The best bet I have found is buying it on Amazon. You can find passion fruit puree on Amazon as well. Haven't pulled the trigger yet, but always have considered it!

If you're going for a 1940s look, I'd recommend a leather or canvas band, which are harder to find in Wal-Mart, Target, etc. If you go to a jewelry store, you'll pay ridiculous prices. If you're open to buying online, here are a few quick recommendations from Amazon:

Citizen Men's BM8240-03E

Orient Bambino

Bulova 96A102

Citizen Men's BM8180-03E

I'm not sure how important that it looks like it's from the 1940s. IMO, any of these watches should look fine from the audience. You might want to ask /r/watches for recommendations!

I have Cream City Chronicles but haven't read it yet. It looks good though!

"A resistant dolomite layer crops out at the bottom of a stone stairway leading down from a refreshment building near Picnic Area 5 and forms a low waterfall in the river. One layer in the rock here proved ideal for making water lime, a cement that would harden even underwater. Unlike the Silurian dolomites, just enough shale is associated with the layer of Devonian limestone to make high-quality cement. For thirty years, beginning in the 1870s, an important cement industry occupied this site, but the Milwaukee Cement Company quarries, crushers, and huge kilns were long ago replaced by a green park."

"Half as much parking downtown" is an absurd exaggeration.

Also, there is a bloated amount of parking in downtown Milwaukee as it is. It always amuses me that people expect free or subsidized storage for their private vehicles in a dense urban core. People in Milwaukee, and America in general, have a terrible understanding of parking economics.

This is the book, it is fiction for kids even. What a joke of reporting.

A few tips, use the Untapped app to find beer. I just did a search for New Grist in Lincoln Nebraska and there was a liquor store called The Still that said they had it. Not sure where you are, but Untapped may be of assistance.

Have you figured out her tolereance? My wife has celiac and she is able to drink a few Modelo Especials or corona’s without issue. They have low ppm of gluten. If your wife is ultra sensitive, then she would likely have an issue. This list is decent to judge.

Side note, my wife has found that when she had a reaction, taking charcoal tablets helps. It doesn’t cure it, but makes the reaction tolerable.

I have the Onyx Plus in my winter vehicle and a factory radio with Sirius in my summer car. For the Onyx Plus, I used the web page I linked earlier to find five frequencies that would work in the Milwaukee area. I believe I have the Onyx Plus set for 92.9 currently.

I did order this from amazon to get rid of the FM frequency game:

I will install that in my winter vehicle in the next day or two.

They make some louder aftermarket horns for the bikes that can actually be heard at highway speeds.

> I know it is used in many situations that deal with kids around the same age (rich or poor, white, black or purple) but when it gets the loudest, it's being used as an excuse for really terrible things.

I agree, however... it seems that most often the accusations of treating children like adults to dealt to people of color (note: this is the first time I mention race on this entire thread). And my first reply to this post was essentially that comment. When kids of color do awful things, people tend to burn them in effigy. This issue is captured well in a book (its a little dated but very good) by Jay MacLeod that shows society has outrageous standards for the behavior of minority teens, while similar behaviors of white teens are see as "boys being boys" and/or "rehabilitation is needed" rather than simply locking them up.

I agree this excuse is used when horrendous acts are done. But as I've said again, these kids are essentially raised this way. If not by their parents and family, by those in the neighborhood they look up to. Last night I sat in on a hearing of two students fighting. The mother of one of the students was there, she was less mature than the students who were fighting. The daughter... in my eyes...see this behavior as normal. And not fighting is the abnormal means of handling things. I know this isn't armed robbery, but it a sample in socialization.

My overall point was that is we truly want fix this, we need to stop simply locking people away and/or shooting them, and simply saying "this is a bad individual". People on this thread are telling me "they" as in the black community... we live in the same society! We need to start saying "our society is dysfunctional and we need to do something about it". If we don't this will continue. It won't just fix itself.

> This kid has a serious criminal record and has no doubt run across his share of social workers and interventionists.

Your jaw would drop if you saw how lacking the city and state are in social workers. Just this week the federal government cut a grant to social workers who help rehab teens.

I'm sure if this kid were in my classroom. My mind would label him as bad/toxic. I would assume he would drag others down who think who he is is appealing. I would try to intervene, but I would guess they would fail.... most of the time they do (sometimes they don't). They see me as a white man from a different world, while they have countless facets in their social spheres that pull much more weight than I ever can/will.

> In both situations, no amount of money is going to change them.

Though I believe people can change, I will be the first to say it's hard and uncommon. But the root of the problem is how they're socialized. I do believe money (in the sense of a valuable living standard, not rich) it the root of that problem. People with realistic, and valuable goals and dreams usually don't behave this way.

> For those raised in poverty, it means they may no longer be poor but that doesn't mean they will suddenly be different.

No but if they weren't raised/socialized that way, the problem wouldn't be as such. The widening inequality gap means this is going to conintue, and it's getting worse.

> Money is only a small part of the problem.

This is where we disagree. I think it's the ultimate root of the problem that it the chain reaction to all the other major issues. Are there anomalies? Certainly, but they are far from the norm.
