Jonathan Brostoff

State Rep. Jonathan Brostoff before and after his hair cut. Photos by Jeramey Jannene.Wisconsin Assembly Representative Jonathan Brostoff became easy to spot over the past year as his hair grew longer and longer. The Democrat had pledged to the disability rights community that he wouldn’t get his hair cut until a bill he sponsored, designed to increase the availability of American Sign Language interpreters, passed.That day finally came in late June and on July 1st, Brostoff was joined by supporters outside Have A Good Hair Day! Salon &amp; Spa (1910 N. Farwell Ave.) for a long-awaited shearing. The salon, a deaf-owned business led by Kayleigh Kwasny, played host to a fundraiser for organizations that advocate for the hearing impaired, where supporters took turns cutting Brostoff’s hair. He last had his hair cut in February 2018, so there was plenty of hair to go around.With the politician now back to his standard close-shaved hairstyle, he joined Urban Milwaukee’s City Beat podcast to discuss what went into putting the bill together, why it’s important and why it took so long to get passed.https://urbanmilwaukee.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/city-beat-episode-028.mp3Download the Episode – Subscribe on iPhone/iTunes – Subscribe on Google Play – Subscribe on Spotify – Subscribe on Pocket Casts – Subscribe on Stitcher – RSS FeedPhotos      Music – Light Corporate by Masteck Media – https://soundcloud.com/masteck_media. Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported

City Beat: 100 Things To Do in Milwaukee Before You Die

Colectivo in Wauwatosa. Image from the City of Wauwatosa.Wauwatosa Alderman Joel Tilleson and city administrator Jim Archambo join the show to discuss what challenges the inner-ring suburb is dealing with, what role increased density will play in its future and how government functions in Milwaukee’s neighbor to the west.We also discuss ways that Milwaukee and Wauwatosa can work together, particularly where Tilleson’s district borders the City of Milwaukee, and what’s fueling the growth along W. North Ave.As discussed at the top of the show, Wauwatosa faces many of the same challenges as Milwaukee, it’s a landlocked city with changing demographics that must look to redevelopment for growth. At the same time Wauwatosa faces an approximate 7 percent poverty rate compared to 27 percent in Milwaukee and a very different racial composition, and with that comes a completely different set of challenges.https://urbanmilwaukee.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/city-beat-episode-025.mp3Download the Episode – Subscribe on iPhone/iTunes – Subscribe on Google Play – Subscribe on Spotify – Subscribe on Pocket Casts – Subscribe on Stitcher – RSS FeedUnderrated restaurant picks?

Broken Bat Brewing Company. Photo from company’s Facebook page.It’s tough to keep track of all the breweries popping up in Milwaukee (baseball pun intended), but Broken Bat Brewing stands out from the lineup (I did it again) for its complete adherence to its baseball brand.With bobbleheads behind the bar, Cracker Jack on the tables and bathrooms wallpapered with baseball cards you can’t escape America’s pastime when you visit the Historic Third Ward brewery. But should you instead find its beer at a growing list of locations, including Wrigley Field, the fact that every brew’s name is a baseball reference ensures you don’t miss the theme.Brewery president Tim Pauly joins City Beat to share how he and friend Dan McElwee started the brewery, how they’re preparing to move to a new location and quadruple production and how they come up with all of the baseball names.Pauly also discusses his vision for how the brewery’s current space could become a brewery incubator space and how Broken Bat intends to grow.https://urbanmilwaukee.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/city-beat-episode-023.mp3Download the Episode – Subscribe on iPhone/iTunes – Subscribe on Google Play – Subscribe on Spotify – Subscribe on Pocket Casts – Subscribe on Stitcher – RSS FeedTim’s underrated restaurant or bar?

Crossroads Collective food hall. Photo by Jeramey Jannene.This week on City Beat, the weekly podcast from Urban Milwaukee, host Jeramey Jannene interviews developer Tim Gokhman about the new Crossroads Collective food hall on N. Farwell Ave. Gokhman also discusses the firm’s planned mass timber buildings for downtown and a large apartment project that’s just getting underway in Bay View.Jannene also discusses the opening of Uncle Wolfie’s Breakfast Tavern and the closing of Mykonos Gyro &amp; Cafe.And what’s the deal with Michels Corp. not taking a subsidy offered by the city for the firm’s $100 million development?We end the show with a Pedestrian Observation, a quick look at an urban planning idea that can help build a better city. This week we explore the need to embrace the adaptive reuse of historic buildings to ensure they’re around for future generations. Should a historic theater at Soldiers Home be required to stay a theater or are there other ways to redevelop the structure so its available for future generations? How can unique, but economically-challenged buildings be saved from the wrecking ball? As the redevelopment of a number of warehouses and factories in the Historic Third Ward shows us, it’s through adaptive reuse.The show is recorded live on Tuesday’s at Riverwest Radio.

City Beat: Episode 012 – Dan Adams of the Harbor District

This rendering of S. 2nd Street includes a variety of features of a “Complete Street.” Many, such as wider sidewalks, street trees and bike lanes, were incorporated in the streets reconstruction in 2010. Rendering by Kieran Sweeney.This week on the podcast we discuss a plan to increase how pedestrian friendly Milwaukee is. City of Milwaukee multi-modal transportation manager Michael Amsden and pedestrian and bicycle coordinator James Hannig join the show to discuss the draft plan.The plan, available online in draft form, lays out a series of easy-to-implement interventions that need only paint and planters. It also suggests bigger ways to redesign streets to increase safety, improve neighborhoods and develop a more vibrant city.

City Beat: Episode 011 – Bruce Murphy on We Energies, Foxconn

Jane Jacobs. Photo is in the Public Domain.Jane Jacobs dramatically transformed the way we think about cities with the publication of “The Death and Life of Great American Cities” in 1961.Jacobs, a resident of New York and later Toronto, presented a clear vision on what it takes to make a vibrant, safe city. Using her East Village neighborhood as a guidepost, she explored how bottom-up planning by citizens could result in cities that are safe for all ages, alive at all times of the day and enjoyable for all residents.And while her seminal book and a number of subsequent works are now decades old, the ideas continue to be discussed today. Starting in 2007, citizens in Toronto began hosting annual Jane’s Walks to celebrate city life and the idea has spread to over 200 cities and 40 countries.Organizer’s of Milwaukee’s fourth annual effort, Dominic Inouye and Jessie Moffat, join the City Beat podcast to discuss the event and what to expect. A kickoff event is planned for May 1st.Jane’s Walk Milwaukee websitehttps://urbanmilwaukee.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/city-beat-episode-020.mp3Download the Episode – Subscribe on iPhone/iTunes – Subscribe on Google Play – Subscribe on Spotify – Subscribe on Pocket Casts – Subscribe on Stitcher – RSS Feed Dominic’s underrated restaurant or bar?

City Beat: Jane’s Walk Milwaukee

The Milwaukee AnthologyWhat does it take to create a book that looks at every corner of the city? A diverse set of authors with diverse backgrounds and perspectives. But one voice is required to bring all of them together, and that’s where Justin Kern comes in.The journalist-turned-communications-professional edited The Milwaukee Anthology. The book, published in April by non-profit Belt Publishing, features a collection of essays, poems and drawings that examine Milwaukee’s highs and lows. How does N. Holton St. exemplify Milwaukee’s segregation issues? What’s life like at the Milwaukee Brewers‘ opening day? What is the future of Sherman Park and the 53206 zip code? Who was crazy enough to create Milwaukee Day? What can we all learn from the tragic shooting at the Sikh temple in Oak Creek? The book features short, easy-to-digest pieces that examine each of the issues and a whole lot more.Kern joins City Beat to discuss where the idea from the book came from, what went in to making it actually happen and what he hopes people take away from the book.Want your own copy of The Milwaukee Anthology?
