Milwaukee will undoubtedly garner a ton of press in the coming week as the Brewers blaze into post-season play.
Yesterday, though, it was Harley that inspired another national travel story on stltoday.com. Titled, "In Milwaukee, you can raise a toast to the ‘Hog,'" reporter Tom Uhlenbrock started his tour of our town at the Harley-Davidson 105th and the new H-D Museum.
But, it didn't take long for him to note, "there's more to Milwaukee than motorcycles" as he went on to write about several tourist destinations, galleries, restaurants and more. The story is accompanied by a video and slide show.
This coming Sunday, Oct. 5, brings another national story for Milwaukee as The New York Times runs a big travel piece, also. The publication has had photographers in town the past several weekends.
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.
