Today’s paper has a nice little piece about the good work Director Black is doing for our parks:
The Milwaukee County parks director is walking and pointing and talking. She is mapping out Milwaukee’s lakefront future, at the south corner of McKinley Park, on the spot where the old Coast Guard Station once stood.
Here is the location for a new path, to lead walkers from the Brady St. pedestrian bridge to the water. Over there is where new bathrooms could go. And down near a rutted parking lot, Black conjures up images of freshly planted grass and a raised walkway where dreamers can look beyond the breakwater, out to Lake Michigan.
I live in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Milwaukee, WI with my wife Jen, our daughter Emerson, and sons Carter and Colton.
Interesting dichotomy on your blog …
you are congratulating Sue Black for her great work one post after your post ripping on the $10 reservation fee for the state parks, a result of the very plan Sue Black masterminded in 1999.
I am not ripping on you for it, I am just pointing it out, as I find it interesting.
Well they’re two different things, one of which happened over a decade ago. I don’t care for the ridiculous fee, but that doesn’t mean the article is off and she doesn’t deserve the kudos she’s getting for managing the park system here in MKE.

That is true – I agree with your statement.
FWIW, the fee for reservations before “Reserve America” was $4 per reservation.
