Milwaukee
Milwaukee is the largest city in Wisconsin and the nineteenth largest in the United States. Known as the Cream City (for the cream-colored bricks produced there),
Brew City (for its many breweries), and the German Athens (for its once-dominant German population), Milwaukee was still known at the end of the twentieth century for its bratwurst, ethnic festivals, and innovative city government. Milwaukee's history has been marked by the long terms of its mayors. The nonpartisan format of local elections (a socialist reform) produced remarkable stability in the mayoralty, as only three men held the job between 1948 and 2000.
Gay

Antonyms: colorless, drab, dull, lifeless, plain, uncolorful
adj
Definition: happy
Antonyms: depressed, discouraged, sad, unhappy, upset, worried
adj
Definition: homosexual
Antonyms: heterosexual, straight
adj.
1. Of, relating to, or having a sexual orientation to persons of the same sex.
2. Showing or characterized by cheerfulness and lighthearted excitement; merry.
3. Bright or lively, especially in color: a gay, sunny room.
4. Given to social pleasures.
5. Dissolute; licentious.
n.
1. A person whose sexual orientation is to persons of the same sex.
2. A man whose sexual orientation is to men: an alliance of gays and lesbians.
The word gay is now standard in its use to refer to people whose orientation is to the same sex, in large part because it is the term that most gay people prefer in referring to themselves. Gay is distinguished from homosexual primarily by the emphasis it places on the cultural and social aspects of homosexuality as opposed to sexual practice. Many writers reserve gay for males, but the word is also used to refer to both sexes; when the intended meaning is not clear in the context, the phrase gay and lesbian may be used. Gay is often considered objectionable when used as a noun to refer to particular individuals, as in There were two gays on the panel; here phrasing such as Two members of the panel were gay should be used instead. But there is no objection to the use of the noun in the plural to refer collectively either to gay men or to gay men and lesbians, so long as it is clear whether men alone or both men and women are being discussed. See Usage Notes at homosexual.

Bartender of the week
Joe Brehm of This Is It
By Sarah Mankowski
Posted: Sept. 8, 2005
It seems as if time has stood still when you walk into the unmarked bar on Wells Street across from Real Chili. The gold-flecked mirrors and the black leather booths that line the red-carpeted walls are hallmarks of what owner Joe Brehm describes as "a true cocktail lounge." The only immediate clue that you're not in the '70s is the neon-rainbow Miller Lite Pride sign.
Sitting at a small, round table under a hanging stained-glass lamp, Brehm dispelled the mystery behind the bar's name.
"My mom, June, started it by herself in 1968. She was running a supper club with her partner and wanted more of a cocktail lounge. She saw the place and said, "This is it - we're not going anywhere else."
Even though This Is It is mainly a gay bar, there are heterosexual customers, too.
"It's a wonderful place for people to meet and talk. People can relax and be themselves and have a good time," he said.
He enjoys photography, and pictures of Milwaukee are hung around the bar. He takes photos of customers that are shown on a slide show set up on a TV by the bar.
"I've had so much fun meeting and talking to people, I can't wait to meet them all over again."
Favorite drinks to make "Cosmos and Bloody Marys. I think we make a great Bloody Mary."
What he likes most about tending bar "It's nice to have the chance to really make people happy. It's a wonderful reward."
Most unusual drink request "A guy would come in and order a scotch and tonic with lime. After two years, I finally got up the courage to ask him if it was any good. Not at all,' he replied. It's awful.' So why do you drink it?' I asked. He answered, Because if I drank what I liked, I'd be having one every 10 minutes. It takes me over an hour to finish one of these.'"
