Travel writer and Wisconsin native Megan L. Wood has a great post today on her blog, meganlwood.com and on The Awl, a New York-based content site.
Titled "It’s Cute That New York is Slowly Catching up to Wisconsin," the story chronicles several things about our fine state that are often taken for granted.
Wood, who moved from Wisconsin to New York City this year, realizes what many of us know; that is, that Milwaukee and Wisconsin are indeed very "cool."
Enjoy this piece where Wood realizes she, again like many of us, was "born in the coolest place on earth – and now everyone is trying to catch up."
Hat tip to Hanson Dodge’s Sara Meaney and Al Krueger for posting this on Facebook this morning.
A life-long and passionate community leader and Milwaukeean, Jeff Sherman is a co-founder of OnMilwaukee.
He grew up in Wauwatosa and graduated from Marquette University, as a Warrior. He holds an MBA from Cardinal Stritch University, and is the founding president of Young Professionals of Milwaukee (YPM)/Fuel Milwaukee.
Early in his career, Sherman was one of youngest members of the Greater Milwaukee Committee, and currently is involved in numerous civic and community groups - including board positions at The Wisconsin Center District, Wisconsin Club and Marcus Center for the Performing Arts. He's honored to have been named to The Business Journal's "30 under 30" and Milwaukee Magazine's "35 under 35" lists.
He owns a condo in Downtown and lives in greater Milwaukee with his wife Stephanie, his son, Jake, and daughter Pierce. He's a political, music, sports and news junkie and thinks, for what it's worth, that all new movies should be released in theaters, on demand, online and on DVD simultaneously.
He also thinks you should read OnMilwaukee each and every day.
