Help Shape Milwaukee Parks For Next 5 Years

Parks can often be taken for granted, but if you take a moment to think, you will realize how many activities that so many of us participate in. Milwaukee County's parks aren't just green spaces for picnics, runs and walks, or general play. They are home to golf courses (regular and disc), tennis courts, soccer fields, bike trails, even dog exercise areas. County parks are places to watch fireworks, see free concerts, visit a farmers' market for fresh, local food and home to community centers. In short they are an integral part of Milwaukee county life and nearly everyone uses or is impacted by amenities provided by the parks.

Since we all have a vested interest in keeping the parks doing what we want out of them, the public - you - can help the Parks Department plan for the future be part of Milwaukee County Parks’ 2015-2020 Strategic Planning Process at an upcoming Public Input Session. Dates for these sessions are listed below:

March 17 Washington Park Senior Center 2:00-3:30 pm 4420 W. Vliet St., Milwaukee
March 20 Wilson Park Senior Center 12:30-2:00 pm 2601 W. Howard Ave., Milwaukee

City Lights Cans Water. Why its better than bottles.

You may have seen the new trend for packaged water with brands like Liquid Death. Now a local brewery, City Lights Brewery , is getting in on the act. Except its not just an act, its not some fad, there are reasons to can vs. bottle water. Good reasons.

Make Men's Health Month About You

The month of November is (one of the) Men's Health Month(s), popularized by the Movember movement. (June is another recognized annual event but since it is November now, November it is.) It's a great foundation, it has been successful and is highly rated for its impact. But, one thing I see with the movement is that while they speak about men's health to the participants, I feel the participants themselves promote it outwardly rather than inward, at them. I personally fell victim to that selfsame issue, but no longer. As of this November, I am taking care of myself.
