I looked through my photos and realized I don't have too many shots of downtown Milwaukee...probably need to get out there with my Nikon at some point on a nice day (it looks like Silent Hill out there today with the fog).
Here's some shots from points of interest and whatnot:
Stock shot of the Milwaukee Skyline - the "biggest little city in the U.S." We ain't Chicago but there's still tons of cool shit here. Red arrow points to approx where my apt building is.
The Milwaukee Art Museum's Quadaracci Pavillion, designed by Santiago Calatrava. The "wings" open and close with sunrise/sunset. It's pretty sweet to watch.
Some old buildings.
More old buildings.
The Pabst Mansion - the PBR king's baller ass mansion, which is ironically now located in a pretty ghetto area of Milwaukee. Still really cool to check out though if you're in the area.
The bio-domes. These are actually really awesome - there's a desert one, a rainforest one, and a "seasonal" one that they swap out. The rain forest one literally feels like you're in the middle of Costa Rica, even in the wintertime.
The Harley Davidson Museum - a must-see if you're in the city. Not to be confused with the corporate offices, which are about 30 minutes from downtown.
Lakefront Brewery - best brewery tour in the city (and there's lots of brewery tours here). $15 for a pint glass and damn near all you can drink.
Milwaukee Bucks vs. Miami Heat at the Bradley Center. f*ck Miami.
Miller Park, home of the Milwaukee Brewers; and everyone's favorite steroid juicing NL MVP!

Confetti after the Brewers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks, in extra innings, during the NLDS game 5. I've been to a lot of sporting events but this was hands down the most insane win celebration I've ever been a part of. My friends and I had to jump the fence and sneak into the stadium because every ticket to that game was sold, even stubhub and scalpers. nuts.
Luchador wrestling at the Turner Hall Ballroom - think it was called "Mondo Lucha" (they do it every year or so). I'm not a wrestling fan but this was an awesome time.
Brady Street about 3 blocks from my house during the Harley 110th anniversary this past summer. For an entire week, people from all over the country and all over the world biked into the city and pretty much took it over. It was crazy, though I could do without the stoplight burnouts at 4am right outside my bedroom window.
