Cities are always changing. They adapt, respond and improve with change in the economy and change in styles. In that way, Milwaukee cele- brates change. Work has already started on a new, iconic office tower downtown where Northwestern Mutual is growing. Public projects are underway that will improve connections at our great lakefront. Advanced manufacturing is increasing in Milwaukee in fields such as electronics, power con- trols and water technology. Demographically, Milwaukee continues to welcome diversity. More people are choosing to live downtown. Some Milwaukee neighborhoods are building on tradi- tional strengths; other neighborhoods are finding new ways to distinguish themselves. Take a look at cities from a historical perspective. Cities are the sites of great artistic and social innova- tion. Cities are where wealth is created. Cities endure. Cities like Milwaukee are places to celebrate. Sincerely, Tom Barrett, Mayor Don't let the May showers take away the excitement of the sea- son! Spring is in full bloom in Milwaukee County this month. Head on down to a famous Milwaukee landmark, the Mitchell Park Horticultural Domes and enjoy an Irish Spring Floral Show. With the Milwaukee Brewers season underway, Miller Park offers one of the liveliest, most accommodating baseball experiences, rain or shine. And if you're inter- ested in a different kind of brewer, we still remember our brewing roots through numerous brewery tours. Why not treat your mom on her day to the award-win- ning brunches at Milwaukee County's restaurants or great shopping at our world-class malls? You also can spend a day at the Milwaukee Public Museum, which continues to host the renowned Body Worlds exhibit. KEY Milwaukee is a valuable resource for exploring the many activities available this month. I hope you enjoy your time in Milwaukee County. Sincerely, Chris Abele, Milwaukee County Executive Welcome to Milwaukee and Wisconsin! As Governor it is my special pleasure to welcome you to our wonderful state and to our largest city - Milwaukee. We are glad that you are here! Wisconsin is home to four seasons of fun and the exciting urban experience of Milwaukee is no exception. Its many nationally recognized museums, professional sports teams, premier accommodations and cutting edge dining and nightlife make it one of the top destinations in the Midwest. It's with good reason that Milwaukee has earned the name "City of Festivals." As we head into summer, get ready for Summerfest - the world's largest music festival - as well as major ethnic festivals nearly every weekend. In August, the Wisconsin State Fair offers one of the most family-friendly and affordable entertain- ment experiences of the season and one of the best fairs in the country. If it's outdoor recreation you seek, consider kayaking the Milwaukee River, biking on more than one hundred miles of paths, visiting one of the many county parks, or just spending a day along the beautiful Lake Michigan lakefront. There is something for nearly everyone. The Milwaukee Brewers play in Miller Park - consistently named one of the best in baseball. The Harley Davidson Museum is one of the most unique in the country. And you can even snap a photo in front of the Bronze Fonz on the RiverWalk. We love Milwaukee. Thank you for visiting and we hope you come back soon! Sincerely, Scott Walker, Governor
