Now, Milwaukee can attract visitors craving high living and fine dining - TwinCities.com

Is this accurate, Milwaukee?

Anyway, I don't think that article is telling us anything we don't know... except when it mixes up street names and is altogether too short of an article to even scratch the surface.

I'll give them points for trying, but it sounds like they spent less than 24 hours in town and about 20 minutes online before they wrote the article.

Most people including famous people and athletes find out they actually like Milwaukee after actually visiting here. Most people who haven't been here don't have nice pictures but once they leave their viewpoint changes, like I said just ask any athlete or famous person except Gary Sheffield.

The art museum has never been called the "Sydney Opera House of Milwaukee". I even googled it and it never showed up except to reference the article. Calatrava's work stands on its own - no need to compare it with something lesser. The Quadracci Pavilion isn't as impressive as some of his other work especially the museums in Valencia but has impressive features.

Otherwise, good prose and a nice tourist piece. It could add more about the historic qualities of the city.

That Sydney Opera House bit was strange. I think this may be the source.
