Wauwatosa Missing an Influential Light

By Nick Schweitzer
Tuesday, Aug 12 2008, 09:37 AM

Among other things that I found out happened while I was in California, was the unfortunate and untimely passing of a neighbor of mine, Pam Clark.  There is a wonderful obituary in this morning's Journal about her.  She helped a lot of people in the community, and will be missed from not only my neighborhood, but from Wauwatosa and Milwaukee as a whole.  Rest in peace Pam.

Good thing the MMSD spent all those millions of dollars working on the Menomonee River near Hart Park huh?  Oh wait... maybe not.  So when is that flood control supposed to kick in again?

More Googlization of Milwaukee

As part of a large Earth Day push, the Milwaukee County Transit System scheduling information is now fully integrated with Google Transit.  For those that don't know, Google Transit is an interface into Google Maps that will provide you with routes and times for how to get to two points in a mass transit area.  For those who don't ride the bus very often and are confused by the myriad routes and schedules, this is a God send and makes trip planning a cinch.  Of course, for me it simply reinforces the reason why I drive my car to work every day.  The car trip that currently takes me less than 20 minutes would take about an hour according to Google Transit.  That's 40 minutes each way that I'd rather have for other purposes.

You can find out more from this article at OnMilwaukee.  This comes on the heels of the announcement that Google Street View is available in Milwaukee as wellVia Dean.
