I'm not sure why, but stenciling the Brewers logo on top of filled potholes is really, really funny to me.
The Brewers are giving Milwaukee $27,500 to buy an asphalt hot box to fill potholes
“I just want to thank our Milwaukee Brewers for providing us with the resources. Definitely a win-win for our city.”

Annual shout-out to festivals that don't get cute with their lineup announcements and instead just say when they're gonna drop them and drop them then. (Eaux Claires 2026 had a local in-person reveal last night, but that's kind of fun. Public announcement is in 10 minutes.)

Milwaukee Record (okay, Tyler) created a new Milwaukee summer festival last summer and it was a huge success. And yep, it's happening again.
Save the date! Morgan Park Picnic will return Saturday, May 23
Busby’s and Milwaukee Record are joining forces again to bring a day of big time fun to one of the city’s smallest parks.

Experienced a true Wisconsin rarity this week when a bartender (politely, apologetically) informed a couple they couldn't bring their baby in the bar.

Just remembered a 16mm student film I did about my father and the last shot was him looking into the camera but then while film was running I gave him the camera and he filmed me and I was really proud of that idea and my professor was like "Your dad framed you better than you framed him."

Following a nearly hourlong discussion, the Licenses Committee approves a tavern & food license for Diaspora Sports Bar, a.k.a. the thing going into the old Company Brewing that everyone got mad about. Slightly shorter hours, active police officer no longer part of ownership group. Article soon.

Just remembered walking home last night and there was a car in the middle of the road and the door was open and the driver was like "Hey Matt! How's it going, man?" and it was Mark Borchardt waiting for an Amazon truck to move so he could park outside Pizza Man.
