Milwaukee's Friendly, Cozy Neighborhood Has Traditional Storefront Shops And Comfort Food Eateries
When it comes to urban destinations in the Midwest, Chicago tends to hog the spotlight. After all, not only is the Windy City the biggest town in the region, it also happens to be packed with iconic adventures, including world-class architecture, lakeside views, and artsy neighborhoods with great food and cool shops. However, despite Chicago's many splendors, it's not the only act in town. If you head just 90 miles north up the Lake Michigan shoreline, you'll arrive in Milwaukee, a city rich with its own charms.

Wisconsin Book of the Month is a spooky collection of crime stories
Wisconsin Book of the Month highlights a book — new, newish or neglected — by a state writer or on a Milwaukee or Wisconsin subject that Journal Sentinel books editor Jim Higgins recommends you read this month. This feature usually appears in the newspaper the second Sunday of each month and is usually posted online the preceding Wednesday. Want to suggest a book? Email jhiggins@journalsentinel.com. No single word describe the kinds of stories that Mary Thorson writes. Her publisher shrewdly describes these tense tales as a "startling mix of true crime, literary fiction, and noir." Thorson herself declares "I write mostly historical fiction exploring the dark events of history and how humans react and respond to them."
