Recently, my son and I trekked up to the top together and the Northpoint Lighthouse has now taken on a whole new meaning for me.
This week, we enjoy one of Milwaukee's most spectacular places -- both in person and online, grab an inexpensive bite, take a look inside minor league baseball and much, much more in our weekly installment of recommendations and suggestions.
