Another day, another list.
Today, it's USA Today that has Milwaukee in its "10 best city art districts around the USA." Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward appears among neighborhoods in Dallas, San Diego, Raleigh and other cities.
Here's what the story had to say about the Third Ward:
"Milwaukee: An alluring concentration of art galleries, theaters, exclusive boutiques, specialty stores and antique shops can be found in Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward, a six square block area located south of downtown, along the Milwaukee River. The heartening revitalization of this turn-of-the-century warehouse and manufacturing district has rightfully caused visitors to compare it to New York's SoHo neighborhood. Its continued development includes a burgeoning restaurant and nightlife scene."
The next Gallery Night and Day, by the way, is July 25-26.
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.
