Milwaukee is continuing to grow. Recently, a first-class hotel was built by the Potawatomi tribe as part of their casino, drawings were just unveiled yesterday for our new arena for the Bucks basketball team, and, in my own area, Wauwatosa, the Mayfair Collection has added Osgood's, an upscale casual dining and ice cream treat restaurant.
I went down to the Milwaukee Art Museum this past Thursday, and finally got to see the construction being done on what will be the tallest building in Milwaukee, the remodeled Northwestern Mutual building. You can see the skeleton of the building above.
Here is an even better photo of the progress being made.
I also took some time, in the sunny, 70 degree weather, to walk around O'Donnell Park, which is located just west of the Milwaukee Art Museum, and considered to be the divide between downtown and the east side. We still have some gorgeous autumn color to see.
I also took a photo of "The Calling" a sculpture famous in downtown Milwaukee, designed by artist Mark di Suvero in 1982. The Art Museum sits to the bottom right.
I couldn't leave without taking some more photos of the Art Museum itself. The museum is closed for remodeling and expansion, except for its temporary exhibit, gift shop, and café. It will re-open on November 24.
This was my second time attending an event at this place, and was my first business event here (the other event was a charity show). Everything at the lofty spaces was perfect, the drinks and food was amazing. Even the coffee was wonderful.
