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 entertainment 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!
Don’t let the May showers take away the excitement of the season! 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 interested 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-winning 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
Sincerely, Scott Walker, Governor
Cities are always changing. They adapt, respond and improve with change in the economy and change in styles.
In that way, Milwaukee celebrates 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 controls and water technology.
Demographically, Milwaukee continues to welcome diversity. More people are choosing to live downtown. Some Milwaukee neighborhoods are building on traditional 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 innovation. Cities are where wealth is created. Cities endure. Cities like Milwaukee are places to celebrate. Sincerely,
Tom Barrett, Mayor
Key COVER FEATURE
THIS SUMMER PREVIEW issue of KEY Milwaukee is packed with info about attractions, tours, events and activities throughout the Milwaukee Metro Area. Here is just a sampling of happenings during summer 2014: • Sting Ray & Shark Bay, the special summer exhibit at the Milwaukee County Zoo, intrigues visitors May 24-Sept. 1. Because the sting rays' barbs are trimmed and the sharks aren't aggressive, visitors can freely touch the fish as well as the exhibit’s horseshoe crabs.
• The 3rd annual ARCAFest event at the Milwaukee Mile happens June 6-8. The Milwaukee Mile is the longest continually operating speedway in the world. ARCA (Automobile Racing Club of America) roars into town with a weekend featuring NASCAR stars plus a hot rod show and monster trucks.
• Kandinsky: A Retrospective, from June 5-Sept. 1 at the Milwaukee Art Museum, is a retrospective exhibition celebrating Wassily Kandinsky (Russian, 1866–1944), one of the key figures in Modern art. Read more about it in this issue of KEY on page 58.
• At the Harley-Davidson Museum, The American Road exhibit runs June 14-Sept. 1, and traces the rise of the road trip as an American ritual. Explore this fundamental American experience and its importance from the 1930s to the gas crisis of the early ‘70s.
• Lakefront ethnic festivals at Henry Maier Festival Park (Summerfest grounds) celebrate the heritage 6 of Milwaukee residents who emigrated here from
Milwaukee’s summer, a festive time
Poland, Italy, Germany, Ireland, Arab nations, Africa and Mexico. The ethnic celebrations end with Indian Summer Festival, celebrating the Native Americans who were here to greet settlers from throughout the world.
• See and hear Summerfest, the world’s largest music festival, now in its 47th year. For 11 days, more than 800 bands play across the 11 stages featured on the permanent grounds of Henry Maier Festival Park. On any given day, attendees can enjoy national, alternative, rock, country, R&B, pop, reggae headliners and more. It’s happening at the lakefront June 25-29 and July 16. (Summerfest takes Monday, June 30, off.)
• Bradford Beach, a stroll away from downtown, has a new look with great food options, family activities, live music series and volleyball leagues and tournaments. The beach is part of Milwaukee County’s outstanding park system.

Enjoy art and nature at Lynden Sculpture Garden THE LYNDEN SCULPTURE GARDEN, 2145 W. Brown Deer Rd., offers a family-friendly art experience just north of downtown in River Hills.
Formerly the Bradley Sculpture Garden, the 40-acre grounds were previously open to the public on very limited occasions. The sculpture garden offers a unique experience of art in nature through a collection of more than 50 monumental sculptures sited across park, lake and woodland.
A picnic area and bike racks help make this a destination for fun outings as well as an eyeopening artistic experience.
Through May 13, the sculpture garden is open to art and nature lovers of all ages from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday and noon-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday and closed Thursday. From May 14 through Oct. 2, the garden is open until 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday evenings.
The sculpture garden is owned and operated by the Bradley Family Foundation. The Lynden house and grounds were purchased in 1927 by industrialist Harry Bradley of the Allen-Bradley Company and
24
his wife, Peg Bradley. The Bradleys retained the Chicago landscape architects William Langford and Theodore Moreau to transform the flat farmland, with its small farmhouse and barn, into an English country garden.
Further plans to construct a botanical garden on the site were derailed by the outbreak of World War II. From 1962-1978, Peg Bradley—already an experienced art collector—began collecting the contemporary monumental sculptures that secured Lynden’s international reputation. The collection includes sculptures by Alexander Archipenko, Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Clement Meadmore, Marta Pan, Tony Smith, Mark di Suvero and many others. The house has been transformed using sustainable building practices. Public spaces include a conference room, large classroom/studio, gallery and glassed-in function space overlooking the large patio. The renovated residence is available as a conference and retreat center, and for event rentals.

THE FAST FERRY RELAX AS YOU LEAVE HUNDREDS OF MILES OF DRIVING BEHIND YOU
lake-express.com
866-914-1010
Lake Express dedicated to providing passengers one-of-a-kind memories IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE, but 2014 marks the eleventh season of Lake Michigan crossings by the Lake Express. When the ship made its maiden voyage on June 1, 2004, the concept was new and novel – the first high-speed auto passenger ferry in the United States and a 2 1/2 hour shortcut across Lake Michigan. While that first 68.5 nautical mile voyage from Milwaukee to Muskegon is still fresh in our memory, we’ve traveled a long way since then. In our first ten years, we’ve surpassed the following milestones: • More than 8,150 Lake Michigan crossings. • Travelers from all 50 states and more than 50 foreign countries. • A distance traveled greater than 25 times around the earth at the equator. And total mileage traveled that exceeds the distance between the earth and the moon and back again. While those milestones and endurance records are special to us, the experiences of passengers are our greatest source of pride. Whether they are traveling for business or for pleasure, with family or alone, offering a one-of-a-kind way to experience Lake Michigan is one of the best parts of what we do. Through the years, we’ve enjoyed meeting travelers from throughout the world and hearing their stories and reasons for choosing to cross Lake Michigan on the Lake Express. It has been an honor to be chosen and trusted to share in those experiences. As we enter our eleventh season, the Lake Express still offers the same speed and hours saved versus the drive through Chicago, but in the end it’s the experience that matters most. “Time well spent is time remembered,” as the saying goes. We’ve enjoyed the many trips and time spent with our many unique and interesting passengers on the way to this, our landmark eleventh season. And we look forward to many more seasons and lasting travel memories with you on board.
Sincerely,
Ken Szallai President, Lake Express

Water makes Milwaukee fun
VISITORS TO MILWAUKEE may think they are entering a 21st century “Waterworld,” as would be expected in a city located on Lake Michigan, the fifth-largest lake on earth. Community leaders are striving to make Milwaukee the “water technology capitol of the U.S.,” but in the meantime, visitors from throughout the world savor amenities provided by outstanding lakefront and river settings. Milwaukee’s outstanding feature is the lakefront. It’s home to the only high-speed ferry of its kind in the continental U.S., Henry Maier Festival Park (site of the world’s largest outdoor music festival and outstanding ethnic festivals) and the architecturally renowned Milwaukee Art Museum – the 21st century symbol of Milwaukee. Recreational opportunities abound. They include the Milwaukee Sailing Center, Milwaukee Yacht Club and public beaches enjoyed by sun worshippers as well as amateur and professional volleyball players. Cyclists, joggers and walkers head for the lakefront year-round. Beyond the lakeshore, water continues to be a theme. Two of three major rivers flowing into the lake are prime visitor destinations. Flowing through downtown, the Milwaukee River was once vital to the brewing and tanning industries. Today, it offers a lovely RiverWalk as well as a range of boat tours. The RiverWalk extends three miles through the city’s downtown, connecting the Historic Third Ward on the south to Brady Street on the north. During summer, the riverside
patios of the Milwaukee Ale House, Molly Cool’s and The Harp are great spots to people (and boat) watch. At the center of the RiverWalk is a stop linking visitors to Arthur Fonzarelli, the fictional Milwaukeean in the “Happy Days” television series. The “Bronze Fonz” statute is one of the city’s leading photo ops. ON the river, Milwaukee Boat Tours conducts narrated tours of the river, harbor and even ventures into the lake for panoramic views of the city. The city’s history, including past and present architectural changes, is chronicled in conjunction with Historic Milwaukee, Inc. Another river touring company, RiverWalk Boat Tours, operates large pontoon boat excursion tours that would make Jimmy Buffett smile. It’s the only service to venture up another major Milwaukee waterway, the Menomonee River, which flows through a valley that extends from Miller Park, home of the Milwaukee Brewers, past Potawatomi Bingo Casino and the Harley-Davidson Museum before flowing into the Milwaukee River. Milwaukee is becoming a major destination for the study of water, especially freshwater. Milwaukee’s Water Council, the only organization of its kind in the U.S., gives the city recognition as a world hub for water research, education and economic development. International programs are held frequently at Discovery World Museum on the city’s lakefront. And a vital part of the council is the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s School of Freshwater Sciences, the first in the nation.

‘Green’ travel alternative LEADERS IN both Wisconsin and Michigan give the Lake Express high marks for stewardship of the environment. The Lake Express was one of the first passenger vessels and the only Lake Michigan ferry to merit inclusion in the Travel Green Wisconsin certification. Subsequent Travel Green certifications showed improved performance and recognized the Lake Express for storing waste and off-loading onshore for safe storage and processing.
Participating companies are asked to provide annual summaries of their progress and share success stories involving their pollution prevention activities.
Research partnerships IN ADDITION TO green efforts benefitting the environment, the Lake Express offers operational support to scientific efforts studying the health of Lake Michigan.
A research partnership with the University of WisconsinMilwaukee (UWM) School of Freshwater Sciences allows researchers to take near real-time measurements of lake conditions as instruments travel with the Lake Express. The many crossings provide much more data than available before. Lake Express also has partnered with the UWM Innovative Weather program through which UWM meteorology students gain real-world experience while assisting the ferry’s staff with forecasts covering lake weather and conditions.

THE OZAUKEE INTERURBAN TRAIL is a 30-mile paved multiusetrail that spans the length of Ozaukee County and is designed for biking, in-line skating, walking, running. The trail connects Mequon, Thiensville, Cedarburg, Grafton, Port Washington and Belgium by using the existing off-road right-of-way owned by We Energies. The trail route connects historic downtowns with natural landscapes. Views along the trail include hardwood woodlands, wetlands, farmlands, Cedar Creek, Milwaukee River and Lake Michigan. The trail is designated as a “Great Wisconsin Birding and Nature Trail” and is great for families. (Motorized vehicles and horses are not allowed on the trail.) Historically, the route is based on the historic Interurban railway that connected Ozaukee County to the cities of Milwaukee and Sheboygan. This electric railway system linked Milwaukee and many of the surrounding communities from its inception in 1905 to the end of all operations in 1951. During its operation, the Northern Route of the interurban line was famous during the 1920s and ‘30s for transporting African-American blues musicians to the recording studios in Grafton and Port Washington for the Paramount Records label. A map and more information is at interurbantrail.us.

Wisconsinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Maritime Trails CENTURIES OF EXPLORATION, travel, commerce, and recreation on the Great Lakes have left an impressive trail of maritime cultural resources along Wisconsin's Great Lakes shorelines and bottomlands. To foster wider public appreciation of the state's rich maritime past and encourage preservation of unique historic sites such as shipwrecks, lighthouses and historic waterfronts, the Wisconsin Historical Society established the Maritime Trails program. Through websites, interpretive signage, public presentations, and shipwreck moorings, the Maritime Trails initiative encourages exploration of these resources. For more information, visit maritimetrails.org.

Brewers surprise with fast start
THE MILWAUKEE BREWERS are expected to be an improved team in 2014, but even the most optimistic observers are amazed at the team’s fast start, which included series sweeps of some of the best teams in baseball.
The World Champion Boston Red Sox, Philadelphia Phillies and Pittsburgh Pirates were swept by the Brewers, en route to nine straight wins.
Strong performances by starting pitchers and relievers and timely hitting throughout the batting order are contributing to the team’s success. Before the season began, Brewers president and principal owner Mark Attanasio was cautiously optimistic, "Our overall perception is that other teams in the division got weaker and we got stronger,” he said in a KEY Milwaukee interview in April. “We'll see if that's true, but we clearly got stronger." Centerfielder Carlos Gomez, third-baseman Aramis Ramirez and right-fielder Ryan Braun are leading

Key RESTAURANTS OF THE MONTH
Milwaukee serves up great patio dining options IT’S FINALLY PATIO time for Milwaukee and Wisconsin restaurants.
Visitors and residents love to make the most of their warm weather and sunshine. Many restaurants make the most of over-sized windows and wide sidewalks, while others have constructed special patios and decks.
The two-level patio at the MILWAUKEE ALE HOUSE on the Milwaukee River is packed on every sunny day and some that are not so sunny. Located at the south end of the RiverWalk at 233 N. Water St., the Ale House is easily is one of the top river patios in this or any other city. Look upriver for one of the best views of downtown Milwaukee. Upstream and a block from the Milwaukee River, TRINITY THREE IRISH PUBS, 125 E. Juneau Ave., creates an authentic Irish patio experience. The stonework is made in Milwaukee, but can be seen throughout the Emerald Isle. We know, we’ve been there.
When the owners of CASABLANCA, 4728 E. Brady St., added a second story they made sure al fresco dining would be part of the expansion. The patio overlooks the city’s unique marsupial bridge over the Milwaukee River and is lattice-roofed to buffer the rays. In addition, the city’s top Middle Eastern restaurant continues to open its first-floor windows to create sidewalk dining options. Jacques Chaumet of CHEZ JACQUES, 1022 S. 1st St., carefully created his Wine Garden Patio with as much thought as he puts into his French country dishes. A mural on the restaurant’s back wall by local artist Amanda Aquino blends a French country scene with U.S. and Milwaukee landmarks and a large chestnut tree shelters diners. Add a glass of wine and a crepe and relax, European-style .

At THE TWISTED FISHERMAN, 1200 W. Canal St., you can enjoy fresh seafood, specialty drinks or even a cheeseburger or brat in a Jimmy Buffett-like setting, complete with beach chairs along the river that flows into the Milwaukee River.
BEANIE’S in the heart of Historic Port Washington, has been serving great Mexican food and unique experiences for more than 25 years. The restaurant at 102 E. Grand Ave. is a few short blocks from Port’s picturesque Lake Michigan marina. Relax in the spacious patio and check out the famous “swing seating” at the cantina/bar inside.
THE HARP is famous for its location overlooking the Milwaukee River, but an expansive deck makes this an even better spot to relax with a perfectly poured Guinness and a butter burger. Or, swing by for “Sunday Rehab,” including live entertainment and drink specials. You’ll discover why there has been a tavern at this address, 113 E. Juneau Ave., since the 1860s. If you’re looking for a patio with a view, you can do no better than HARBOR HOUSE, located on Lake Michigan adjacent to Discovery World. Enjoy the seafood specialities on the patio of this Bartolotta Restaurant for a breathtaking view of the Santiago Calatrava addition to the Milwaukee Art Museum.
NORTHPOINT CUSTARD is a don’t miss during the warm-weather season. KEY staffers will be among the eager customers getting their burgers and fries with a shake when the order windows open Saturday, May 17, for the 2014 season. Great food and fabulous scenery combine at 2272 N. Lincoln Memorial Dr., where downtown meets the lake. 75
Headed to a Brewers game? Leave the driving to others!
MILWAUKEE’S Miller Park, home of the Milwaukee Brewers, is rated as one of the best in baseball by sportswriters and sportscasters and by fans. But unlike some Major League stadiums, it is a few minutes driving time from downtown and not within walking distance of major hotels.
Here are a few tips for first-time visitors and even returning fans: Many hotels and restaurants in downtown Milwaukee and surrounding communities provide shuttles to and from home games. Two of the most popular downtown Milwaukee shuttles depart from The Milwaukee Brat House (the Brat Bus), 1013 N. Old World 3rd St., and Trinity•Three Irish Pubs, 125 E. Juneau Ave. In the Brady Street area, a shuttle for games runs from Jack’s American Pub at 1323 E. Brady St.
NIGHTLIFE GUIDE
Key Milwaukee
Closer to Miller Park is a restaurant that has been shuttling fans to Brewers games since the team arrived in town and played in the old County Stadium. Saz’s State House at 5539 W. State St. is close enough to the stadium to provide a quick getaway for fans in a hurry to return home or to their hotel. Many fans, however, linger at Saz’s to replay the action.
