Nearby: Waukesha, WIThis past spring I did something which brought back some less-than-fond memories for me—I joined a choir.Don’t get me wrong—I’m very much enjoying singing in our church choir; more on that later.The thing is, the last time I sang in a choir was around 1973 or ‘74—yep, more than 50 years ago.That was at Butler Middle School in Waukesha. I can’t recall if it was seventh grade or eighth grade. I am pretty sure it wasn’t really by choice that I was in the large mixed choir. I’m guessing it was one of those deals where you had to choose at least one class from the arts. Given the fact that to this day I still struggle to put all the sticks of a stick man in the proper locations, I didn’t think an art class would be my best choice so I went with the music option.The funny thing is, I would have to think hard to remember what I had for lunch yesterday but I can recall the layout of my middle school choir classroom, where I sat and what the teacher looked like.

Nearby: Milwaukee, WIA new line of bobbleheads from Milwaukee’s National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum will feature Governor-elect David Crowley along with other recent winners in the midterm elections. The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum was founded in 2014 in Milwaukee.

The newest line of political bobbleheads features a select range of politicians elected in the recent midterms, featuring figures like Texas’ James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa, Michigan’s Abul El-Sayed, Ohio’s Amy Acton, and Wisconsin’s very own Governor-elect David Crowley. Political bobbleheads have not been a big thing for the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame past some presidents until around the COVID-19 pandemic.
NYC Daily Post · Milwaukee, WI
Nearby: Milwaukee, WIThere are championship victories and then there are moments that become part of a community’s history. For Milwaukee and the surrounding Wisconsin communities, the Milwaukee Brewers first World Series championship was more than a baseball achievement. It was a celebration of hometown pride, perseverance, camaraderie and the shared excitement of generations of baseball fans. Having grown up in the Milwaukee area, I have a personal connection to the Brewers that goes back many years. I have attended countless games, met players, collected autographs from some of the well-known team players (Yount, Molitor, Deer, Gantner, Cooper) when I was younger and participated in the tailgating traditions that have become such a recognizable part of the Milwaukee baseball experience. Over the years, I have also enjoyed visiting the restaurants and team store inside the stadium, where fans can find an impressive selection of Brewers merchandise.

Nearby: Kenosha, WIFood stamps and the 2025 shutdown became linked in public debate when a government shutdown dragged into late October 2025 and the Agriculture Secretary appeared at a news conference on SNAP food aid benefits during it, per The Christian Science Monitor. But the shutdown itself was not the main force changing the program. The larger shift came from a 2025 tax and spending law, signed on July 4, 2025, that is rewriting who qualifies, who pays and how many people receive benefits. The record so far: national SNAP enrollment fell 13% between July 2025 and June 2026, with every state except Alaska seeing some decline, according to reporting by The Christian Science Monitor. The unemployment rate stayed steady over that period, which implies the drop was not driven by more people finding work. An analysis by the Food Research & Action Center, an anti-hunger advocacy group, put the number of Americans who lost benefits since the law was enacted at about 5.2 million, per CBS News.
