Juneau Park Paddleboat owners trying to sell business The hard-won contract extension for locally owned Juneau Park Paddleboats has been reversed, and an out-of-state company will take its place in Veterans Park. Why? Apparently, despite public support, the owners were trying to sell their business to the competition.

Kramp Cast: Is the strength of my voice gone for good? When I first started in Milwaukee radio I worked the overnight shift at Lazer 103. On the drive to my midnight gig, I would attempt to loosen up my voice by talking to myself in the car or even reading street signs out loud. |

Mr. Barrett, tear down this wall! I love Milwaukee. As a kid living in rural communities, I couldn't wait to one day move to the big city. Summer festivals, Brewers games and Lake Michigan seemed to call my name at an early age. After graduating from college, there was little doubt where I would end up starting a life. That being said, the realities of living in the big city drew a stark comparison to the expectations I had built up in my own mind. |

Let's put the "front" back in Front Street For a variety of reasons, I've been thinking about Front Street, which now seems so ironically named, fronting as it does onto nothing and serving as the ultimate definition of a Milwaukee "backstreet." In my mind, I see something much different that can be seen on the block today. |

Reaction to Journal Sentinel's new editor shows liberal bias The Journal Sentinel just hired someone named David Paulsen to be its new Breaking News Editor. Paulsen comes to the paper after stints as a reporter in Wausau and Poughkeepsie, N. Y. and two years at Fox News. Well, when the announcement was made the cries from staffers in the newsroom in Downtown Milwaukee could be heard throughout the civilized world. |

Warbler time I worked in a Downtown office building for many years. Times would come - I never kept track of the time of year - when we would find beautiful little birds dead on the sidewalk every day for a few weeks. I always wondered what was happening, but kept forgetting to look it up. What were those birds? |

Bike to Work Week may not convert you to a spandex-loving gear head, but it might provide you with a new, fun weekly goal. |

The internet never forgets You would think we know this by now, but sometimes the lesson is hard learned over and over again - whatever you put on the internet, stays on the internet, and someone will find it. |

Thoughts on the sudden death of a friend Last night at about 3 a.m., I woke up to go to the bathroom. I used my phone to light my way, so as soon as my eyes adjusted, I noticed that my mom had sent me a death notice. My friend and neurosurgeon, Dr. Spencer Block - the guy who did my back surgery in 2011 - had died yesterday at age 51.

The creepiest smiley face The smiley face. It's a universal symbol of happiness. At least it should be. But when you find one spray painted along Milwaukee's Riverwalk, it's meaning changes. |

Urban spelunking: A Sebastian Brand firehouse Who doesn't love an old firehouse? Like you, I once thought it would be cool to live in an old one. You know, big open-concept place with high ceilings, history inscribed in every detail. Plus, you could slide down the brass pole to get to breakfast quickly. The decommissioned Milwaukee Fire Department Fire House, Ladder Company No. 5, at 1945 N. Bartlett Ave., is one of those old places I've long suspected was ripe for such a conversion. |

He can't win: Walker's missing presidential credentials Scott Walker has done a good job transforming Wisconsin into a place where businesses want to immigrate, expand and succeed. If you consider the 18 months of turmoil that started his term, it's an accomplishment to have gotten anything done. Despite all of his positive actions, I cannot recommend that Scott Walker run for president. He can't win. He won't win. |
