It strikes me as a funny since most of us who live in the southern burbs of Milwaukee metro always complain of the lack of places to dine or hold events. We usually [...] Several days ago, New Berlin blogger Linda Richter made a post showing a list of projects and organizations within that suburb that were controversial and could be considered racist.
