More Snow Headaches

by Jennifer Hoffman

We’ve had more snow this December than most years, and as though the shoveling, the slippery walks, and the lousy plowing weren’t enough, the Journal Sentinel has reported that 13,281 have been issued in the City thus far for snow-related parking violations.

Further, over 130 vehicles were towed over the weekend.

Snow, snow, snow!

Each of these tickets and tows generates some revenue for the City. Perhaps some of that money can be spent on better plowing. While the initial hubbub over the City’s lousy plowing has died down, I can say personally that my street in Bay View only received a cursory brush by a plow, and a significant amount of snow and ice still remain.

About Milwaukee, WI

Forget what you learned from those Laverne & Shirley reruns. Long gone is the factory town that unleashed Harley Davidson and Pabst Blue Ribbon upon the world. In its place, you'll find one of the most exciting metropolises between the coasts. The motorcycles and beer are still around, but Milwaukee also has a cutting edge art scene, festivals for every occasion, a palette of architectural curiosities, a thriving night life, and some of the most driven and diverse people in the midwest. In Milwaukee, boredom isn't even an option.
