My husband and I just put our boat into the boat slip at McKinley marina. Yesterday we took a boat ride and we are able to see the cityscape from the lake and river. 
What a beautiful city! I am proud to be a part of this city. To have a boat at the marina is like having a cottage up north but for us it is a city cottage. We can see the fireworks for the Big Bang and the many festivals also have fireworks. Or go up the river and go to the ever so popular Ale House Restaurant and dock and have a meal or margarita. Along the river are stunning condominiums and some have boat docks. The areas they are located in are the Third Ward and Brewers Hill. Milwaukee also has a Yacht Club that
you can be a part of and go to their Tiki bar, dinners, or be a part of the sailing club. We can ride our boat north to Port Washington and be a part of their fish boils and fireworks during the summer or we can go south to Racine and meet a new harbor.

Milwaukee was discovered in 1679 by the French explorer La Salle and Milwaukee is named after an Indian village meaning “ gathering place by the waters”. In 1834 Solomon Juneau married the daughter of a fur trader and plotted a village on the “East Side” of the Milwaukee River bordering Lake Michigan. Decendents from Poland and Germany were a large part of the early population.
Today people from every part of the world make up Milwaukee’s population.
Milwaukee has an impressive lakefront with Lake Park bordering the area. Many activities are available such as boating, the Milwaukee Yacht Club, sandy beaches, volley ball match’s which are televised. You can sip on a coffee at the ever so popular “Alterra Coffee” and watch the action go by. If you go up Lafayette Hill you will find yourself viewing enchanting mansion’s built in the 1920’s. Or you can be on Lake Drive and view the homes and neighboring activities. We also have the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee a wide range of cultural activities including Calatrava Art Museum, Betty Brinn Children’s Museum, Symphony, Repertory theatre, and so many more museums and theatres. Milwaukee is rich with the arts and life!
The spirit of Milwaukee is one with enthusiasm. We also pride ourselves with the many diverse restaurants, nationally renowned festivals, outstanding architecture and history!
Next I will travel you further into Milwaukee’s Northshore.

One of the major perks of buying a home in North Shore Milwaukee is the well-rounded, rewarding lifestyle the area has to offer. Residents of Whitefish Bay, Shorewood, Fox Point, Bayside, Glendale, River Hills, and Brown Deer communities reap the benefits of being close to the major urban cultural and business hub of downtown Milwaukee (as well as downtown Chicago), all the while enjoying the virtues of small-town life. Milwaukee’s North Shore suburbs boast quiet peaceful residential areas, desirable and diverse housing, low crime rates, quality schools, and easy access to the University of Wisconsin and 15 other institutions of higher education. Whether in work or in play, North Shore Milwaukeeans have an abundance of opportunities right at their fingertips.
