Welcome...
Don’t let freezing temperatures, snow and ice keep you from celebrating the start of 2016. Milwau-kee County offers countless fun, family-friendly opportunities, regardless of winter weather. Enjoy snowman-building, sledding or tobogganing at one of our award-winning parks, or ice skate at Red Arrow Park. More relaxing options include a stroll through Cathedral Square or a carriage ride downtown. Indoors, visit art galleries in the Historic Third Ward, enjoy a concert at the Marcus Center for The Per-forming Arts or take in a play at one of our great theaters. No matter what you choose to do, I hope you enjoy your time with us.
Chris Abele, Milwaukee County Executive
Something remarkable is occurring in the cen-ter of Milwaukee. Activity, excitement, and note-worthy changes are taking place at a pace that is unprecedented in this city’s modern history. Some of the change is obvious. Cranes loom above rising structures. Downtown buildings are sprucing up with colorful signs and artwork. The sidewalks are busier as more people are working, living, and enjoying a night out in downtown. Some change is less obvious as investors are buying real estate and city government is building and improv-ing our infrastructure. And there are strong signs that the trend of more in-vestment and more activity will continue. Northwestern Mutual is not just building two new skyscrapers; they are adding employees and constructing apartments. The Milwaukee Bucks are not just building a new are-na; they are planning an exciting new district that adds more retail and entertainment venues. I am optimistic about Milwaukee’s future and the in-creasing opportunities for our residents and our visitors.
Tom Barrett, Mayor

g Cover Story
The Milwaukee Public Muse-um’s Streets of Old Milwau-kee, Wisconsin’s most popular exhibit, reopened in December 2015 after a major renovation added new sights, sounds and scents to increase its appeal to contempo-rary viewers. This walk-through portrait of Milwaukee in the late 19th century gives visitors the magical experi-ence of going back in time. Opened in 1965, it has been expanded over the years, but the project begun last August was the first major renovation. “Most exhibits showcase history,” explains Dennis Kois, president and CEO of the
internationally recognized museum. “We’re very
excited to imple-ment changes that
enhance not only the Streets themselves, but
deliver the kind of visitor experience contempo-
rary muse-um-goers expect.” In what the museum calls a “re-imagination” of the Streets, visitors enter via a new life-sized streetcar that rumbles down tracks and appears (through a clever use of tech-nology) to travel back in time. While viewing new storefronts and businesses, visitors can
drop in on conversations be-tween Streets residents and engage in hands-on activities. “Milwaukee has a history of building world-class, innova-tive exhibits,” explains exhibit director Julian Jackson. “We’re building on the shoulders of giants here. Carl Akeley creat-ed the very first habitat-style diorama here in 1899. The Indian Crow Bison Hunt was the largest open diorama in the world when it opened in November 1966. The re-imag-ination of Streets builds upon that level of quality.” A new app enhances the Streets experience. Smart-phone users can download the free Streets of Old Milwau-kee app and pick a Streets resident to be their tour guide. The app uses innovative tech-nology to transmit where the visitor is in the exhibit, allowing the tour guide to give the visi-tor specific information. Guides highlight important issues of the day based on a theme, with themes and guides changing twice a year. With the current theme of “entertainment,” visitors learn through a cakewalk dancer, socialite or vaudevillian. Vis-itors can listen to their guide via their phones through ear buds or read the tour on their smartphone screens. For additional information, visit www.mpm.edu.

his year KEY Milwaukee is 50
years young. Still the primary print resource for visitors, KEY today is part of the “new media,” bringing the area’s dining, entertainment and shopping opportunities to readers in ways that could not be imagined half a century ago. The KEY trademark was introduced in Los Angeles during the 1930s. In 1967 when the KEY network of digest-sized, locally owned
visitor guides was formalized, an existing Milwaukee visitor guide was renamed KEY Mil-waukee and the publication became a founding member of the KEY Magazine Group. In the 1990s, KEY Milwau-kee’s platform grew signifi-cantly with the introduction of KeyMilwaukee.com. Today, social media adds thousands of interactions daily and the Keyzine newsletter updates a loyal following throughout the Upper Midwest. KeyMilwau-kee.com is now fully optimized
for smart phones, as is the entire magazine in digital form at KeyMilwaukeeMobile.com. “We’re confident that the best is yet to come,” says Beth Stafford, owner of KEY Milwau-kee for the last 22 years. This year associate publisher Laure Leplae-Arthur becomes pub-lisher in advance of acquiring the company. A Glendale resi-dent and experienced graphic designer, Ms. Leplae-Arthur in 2015 helped redesign the pub-lication, website and mobile products.
