Welcome to Milwaukee and Wisconsin!

As Governor it is my special pleasure to welcome you to Milwaukee and the great State of Wisconsin.

This is a great year to visit Wisconsin’s largest city. Harley-Davidson celebrates its 110th anniversary. A variety of new hotels have opened in the city. And for the 162nd year, the Wisconsin State Fair will offer one of the most family-friendly and affordable entertainment experiences of the summer season.

It is also my personal privilege to showcase Milwaukee and the state of Wisconsin for the nation’s governors this August when they and their families attend the 2013 National Governor’s Conference at the Delta Center. We’re welcoming them with iconic Milwaukee fun, including a motorcycle ride and a trip to Miller Park as the Milwaukee Brewers open a series against the Washington Nationals.

I invite you to extend your enjoyment of Milwaukee by exploring the rest of the state. Wisconsin is home to four seasons of exploring, adventuring and relaxing. No matter where your vacation fun finds you in Wisconsin, there will be plenty of friendly people ready to welcome you.

Sincerely, Scott Walker, Governor As our county celebrates the return of sunshine and warm weather, we welcome you to join us in the enjoyment of a Milwaukee spring.

The Milwaukee Art Museum is celebrating 125 years of art, the Milwaukee Brewers are playing at fan-friendly Miller Park. And if you are interested in a different kind of brewer, we remember our brewing roots with numerous brewery tours.

Milwaukee County Parks are blossoming. For Mother’s Day, consider the award-winning brunches at our restaurants or shop at the Milwaukee Public Market and our world-class malls.

The active and vibrant summer months soon will be here. Plan to attend the many lakefront festivals, including Summerfest, the world’s largest music festival; the State Fair and the celebration of the 110th anniversary of Harley-Davidson.

KEY Milwaukee is a valuable resource for exploring the many activities available every month. No matter what you choose to do in Milwaukee County, I hope you enjoy your time with us.

Sincerely,

Chris Abele, Milwaukee County Executive

The summer sun shines brightly on Milwaukee, and, in this city, we get out and celebrate when the weather is warm.

From our lakefront festivals to neighborhood gatherings, the people of Milwaukee have plenty of options to enjoy the season.

And visitors are always welcomed!

Milwaukee’s history is filled with stories of people joining in social events. Various groups of Native people gathered in Milwaukee long before Europeans set foot here. Successive waves of immigrants brought their own celebrations, and nowadays, Milwaukee’s ethnic festivals continue the tradition.

The city’s natural assets provide some of the best locations for summer celebrations. Our Lake Michigan shoreline, our rivers and our renowned park system are all venues for community events. Our investments in festival grounds, RiverWalks, and park amenities add even more life to warm weather events.

When you’re in Milwaukee, be sure to join the locals at one of our great spring and summer celebrations!

Sincerely, Tom Barrett, Mayor

Key COVER FEATURE

Nothing beats summertime in Milwaukee 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 2013:

• Sting Ray & Shark Bay, the special summer exhibit at the Milwaukee County Zoo, intrigues visitors May 25-Sept. 2. 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 stars of the IZOD IndyCar Series roar back to the Milwaukee Mile, the longest continually operating speedway in the world. The Milwaukee INDYFEST will rumble to life Father’s Day weekend with three generations of the Andretti family here June 14-15 (rain date is Sunday, June 16).

Racing, music, food and fun!

• At the Milwaukee Art Museum June 14–Sept. 8, the special exhibit 30 Americans showcases works by many of the most important African American artists of the last three decades. Another special exhibition celebrates 125 years of art in Milwaukee.

• Lakefront ethnic festivals celebrate the heritage of Milwaukee residents who emigrated here from Poland, Italy, Germany, Ireland and Mexico. The ethnic celebration ends with Indian Summer Festival, celebrating the Native Americans who were here to greet settlers from throughout the world.

8

• See and hear Summerfest, the world’s largest music festival, now in its 46th year. For 11 days, more than 800 bands play across the 11 stages featured on the grounds. 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 26-30 and July 2-7. (Summerfest takes Monday off.)

• While Harley-Davidson’s 110th Anniversary Celebration will be held Labor Day weekend, Aug. 29-Sept 1, the excitement of Milwaukee Iron is on tap year-round at the Harley-Davidson Museum.

• 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.

Lake Express dedicated to creating travel memories in tenth season of service IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE, but 2013 marks the tenth 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 highspeed 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 nine years, we’ve surpassed the following milestones: • More than 7,000 Lake Michigan crossings.

• Travelers from all 50 states and more than 50 foreign countries.

• A distance traveled greater than 23 times around the earth at the equator. And total mileage traveled that exceeds the distance between the earth and the moon.

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 tenth 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 tenth season. And we look forward to many more seasons and lasting travel memories with you on board.

Sincerely,

Ken Szallai President, Lake Express

Save on spring, fall travel, kids ride free in summer SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS on Lake Express trips are available this year for adults, kids and motorcycles!

The Kids Ride Free program continues for June, July and August sailings. Children (age 5-17) pay only the $12 port, security and fuel surcharge on roundtrips from June 15-Sept.

2. In addition, two complimentary tickets for children are provided anytime with each paid Classic Cabin roundtrip adult ticket.

The Summer Season Special provides discounted rates for roundtrip crossings involving the 7 p.m. Milwaukee crossing and the 11 p.m. Muskegon crossing and one-way crossings from Muskegon to Milwaukee at 11 p.m. From June 28-Sept. 2, the adult roundtrip fare (7 p.m. and 11 p.m.) is $84, versus $135. The one-way adult fare for the crossing from Muskegon at 11 p.m. is only $52.50, versus $82.50 during other times.

Similar discounts are available for vehicles using the 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. crossings during the Summer Season period.

Motorcyclists who prefer the Lake Express to crowded freeways will pay no motorcycle fare from May 3-31 and Sept. 5-Oct. 27, but the motorcycles will be subject to the $6 one-way and $12 roundtrip port, security and fuel surcharge. In addition, motorcycles will be fare free for round trips only during June.

The Lake Express cautions that because of the popularity of the motorcycle program and limited space on the ship, early reservations are encouraged.

#18 at The Bull at Pinehurst Farms

Great finishing holes to begin the season

By JERRY SLASKE KEY Milwaukee Golf Editor

WHETHER I’M PLAYING WELL or poorly, there are finishing holes I always look forward to because they lift the spirit. For the most part, I’m partial to par 5s. Probably because the longer I’m on the course, the better I feel or probably because they take greater focus and strategy.

If I play the following holes well on a day that could be described as a “death march,” it’s verification that my game is intact and golf is still the best and most challenging game around. If I don’t play them well, I’ll be back again.

#18 at Brown Deer

The Bull at Pinehurst Farms, 485 yards, par 4 (920-467-1500) www.golfthebull.com A double dogleg par 4 requiring a long Brown Deer, 557 yards (414-352-8080) drive that must be in the fairway and www.county.milwaukee.gov/Parks.com must slice off as much of the pond as A solid tee shot is imperative on this possible for even an outside chance of uphill, relatively narrow par 5. A creek hitting this wide and shallow green. bisects the fairway about 220 yards Reasonable golfers should play their from the tee so a weak drive probably second shot to the left of the water and will cost you. Avoid the traps on the marsh in front of the relatively tame right with your second shot. And hit to a green, leaving a chip and hopefully one yardage to give yourself a full swing on putt. Going at this green in two demands your third, probably the hole’s most a perfect second shot, assuming you had challenging shot, particularly when the a perfect drive. And who among us hits pin is on the right side over a bunker. two perfect shots in a row?

Some of my favorite 18th holes in the region (distances are from the back tees):

Rock River Hills, 543 yards (920-485-4990) www.rockriverhills.com Go left off the tee on this double dogleg and you could be stymied by large willow trees standing sentinel alongside a pond.

Go right and you also could be thwarted by trees. Your second shot can’t go too far left because there is another pond that can’t be seen. Your third shot is uphill to a severely undulating green protected on the right front by a large, deep bunker.

Dretzka, 490 yards, par 5 (414-354-7300) www.county.milwaukee.gov/Parks.com Correct club selection off the tee is critical on this slight dogleg right. A creek angles across the fairway about 185 yards out on the left and 220 yards out on the right. Forget about trying to clear the creek with your drive, unless you can keep it in the air for about 300 yards. Your second shot is across the creek and then severely uphill. A huge tree stands guard along the fairway’s right side and trees line the left side.

The entire left side from tee to green is a sunken waste area, which was filled with water for the 1998 and 2012 US Women’s Opens. The double green (shared with the 9th hole) will accept a less than perfect approach shot because it’s level with the fairway.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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.

In Michigan, the Lake Express is a participant in the Michigan Business Pollution Prevention Partnership, a voluntary program open to all Michigan companies interested in initiating or expanding pollution prevention practices.

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) Great Lakes Water Institute 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 ferryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff with forecasts covering lake weather and conditions.

Fans know every game will be played at Miller Park, thanks to the retractable roof. One of the most fanfriendly stadiums in the Major Leagues, Miller Park is ranked by sports reporters and baseball fans as one of the best in baseball.

Tips for visitors headed to Miller Park to watch the Brewers 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:

Leave the driving to others

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, 1013 N. Old World 3rd St., and Trinity•Three Irish Pubs, 125 E. Juneau Ave. Both of the restaurants provide free shuttles to all home games and are well worth a stop before and after.

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.

Packers Bucks Badgers

Avoid traffic backups

While most drivers arrive at Miller Park via exits from I-94, savvy fans have learned to slip in smoothly by using Canal Street.

Best known as the location of Potawatomi Bingo Casino, Canal Street is reached by driving south from downtown on N. 6th Street. Turn west on Canal Street at the Harley-Davidson Museum for a quick and easy entry into the Miller Park lot.

For the best seats

You can expect many sold-out games this season at Miller Park. But choice seats can still be had if you check TheTicketKing.com or visit the respected Milwaukee-based ticket company at 751 N. Broadway.

KEY GALLERIES

THE MILWAUKEE ART MUSEUM, with its spectacular addition built by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, also is known internationally for the quality and originality of its special exhibits.

Through May 19, visitors to the museum on the lakefront can see Color Rush: 75 years of Color Photography in America, one of the first exhibits to trace the evolution of color photography from a revolutionary idea in 1907 to the norm in popular culture and fine art in 1981. Today color photography is so pervasive that it is hard to believe there was a time when this was not the case.

This exhibition explores the historical developments that led to color photography becoming the norm in popular culture and fine art. With framed photographs, as well as publications, slide shows, and film clips, the exhibition presents the story of color photography in America as it has never been told before.

Opening June 14 and continuing through the summer until Sept. 8 is another special exhibition being seen for the first time in the midwest. 30 Americans, drawn from the Rubell Collection of Contemporary Art in Miami, showcases works by many of the most important African American artists of the last three decades and has been seen only at the Chrysler

This year the museum also celebrates its first 125 years with exhibitions drawn from archives, photos, models, videos and brochures dating back to the establishment of the Layton Art Gallery in 1888.

The growing reputation of the museum also has increased the visibility of private art galleries throughout the metro area.

On the east side of downtown Milwaukee, the DAVID BARNETT GALLERY, 1024 E. State St. (at Prospect Ave.) currently is showing Blast From The Past: Celebrating 46 Years of Art. It’s composed of artwork representing each year since the gallery was opened.

At the DEAN JENSEN GALLERY, 759 N. Water St., Jon Schueler: Paintings from the Seventies is the current exhibition. Works of Schueler (1916-92), a Milwaukee native, are in the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Detroit Institute of Art, the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, where he was given a one-man show in 1975.

Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward also houses many of the city’s private galleries. On display at the TORY FOLLIARD GALLERY, 233 N. Milwaukee St. is a show featuring the work of more than 60 painters, photographers and sculptures shown at the gallery in its first 25 years.

If you’re traveling beyond Milwaukee, be sure to stop in Cedarburg. THE PINK LLAMA GALLERY (thepinkllama) has an address in the center of the historic city (W62 N580 Washington Ave.) but is entered through the rear porch. CEDAR CREEK POTTERY, LA DIVA and LEAP OF FAITH in the Cedar Creek Settlement offer unique pottery, jewelry and artwork from Wisconsin and throughout the world.

Farther north in Port Washington on Lake Michigan, visit BLUE HERON ARTISAN’S GALLERY, 102 E. Pier St. Located in a 1929 fire station, the gallery features more than 25 artists. Through May 26, see Off the Wall, an exhibition inspired by surrealism – “things coming out of the wall or off the wall,” says owner Bette Langford.

See real pirate gold, artifacts at Milwaukee Public Museum REAL PIRATES, a National Geographic exhibition featuring treasures from the only authenticated pirate shipwreck found in U.S. waters, will be a top destination for families through May 27 at the Milwaukee Public Museum.

The touring exhibition separates fact from fiction about the pirate trade and gives visitors glimpses into the lives of pirates through artifacts, hands‐on activities, captivating re‐creations, enactors portraying crew members, and a fascinating exploration of underwater archaeology.

The Whydah was located by underwater explorer Barry Clifford in 1984. Clifford is still actively excavating the wreck site and continues to bring treasures to the surface every year.

Visitors learn the captivating true story of the Whydah, one of the most successful pirate ships of the Golden Age of Piracy, from its roots as a slave ship to its takeover and conversion into a pirate ship in the early 1700s.

In addition to displaying centuries‐old artifacts, the exhibition includes hands‐on activities where visitors can raise a pirate flag, tie real sailors' knots, touch real pirate treasure, and look through a telescope to find ships with treasure on board. Visitors also can walk through a re‐creation of the Whydah, explore the roles of the different members of her crew and ask questions of pirate re-enactors strolling through the exhibition.

Real Pirates tickets include both admission to the special exhibit and to the Milwaukee Public Museum’s outstanding permanent exhibit galleries.Ticket prices are $24 for adults MondayThursday; $26 for adults Friday- Sunday; $17.50 for children Monday-Thursday and $18.50 for children Friday-Sunday.

66

The exhibition is open from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. daily, with extended hours every Thursday until 8 p.m.

The last entry is 60 minutes prior to closing on all dates. Visit www.mpm.edu for information about the exhibition.

Key RESTAURANT OF THE MONTH Metro area serves up great patio options IT’S PATIO time for Milwaukee and Wisconsin restaurants.

Our dining section, starting on page 67 of this issue, designates with a sun icon all the spots where outdoor seating is available. Many make the most of over-sized windows and wide sidewalks, while others have constructed special patios and decks.

This month, KEY Milwaukee features restaurants which we feel are true patio gems:

EL FUEGO MEXICAN RESTAURANTE, 909 W. Layton Ave. just minutes from Mitchell International Airport, must be one of the only urban restaurants in the country with a waterfall at the center of its patio. Kids love to watch the cascading water, as parents sip margaritas and enjoy the complete Mexican experience.

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 CASABLANCA, 4728 E. Brady St., added a second story last year, it made sure al fresco dining would be part of the expansion. The new 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.

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 74

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 .

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.

One of the city’s newest restaurants takes advantage of the growing Menomonee River Valley entertainment row that runs from the Harley-Davidson Museum to Potawatomi Bingo Casino and Miller Park. At THE TWISTED FISHERMAN, 1200 W. Canal St., you can enjoy fresh seafood, specialty drinks or even a cheeseburger or brat in a Jimmy Buffetlike setting, complete with beach chairs along the river that flows into the Milwaukee River.

Yellow Cab Co-Op Fast, dependable service since 1979

Milwaukee’s Original Taxicab Service One of the best versions of window patio dining can be found at CARINI’S LA CONCA D’ORO, 3468 N. Oakland Ave. just a short walk from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Mediterranean scenes painted on the sides of windows that open in the summer create an environment that blends perfectly with Carini’s Sicilian specialties.
