Milwaukee resident, Nell Benton, recently purchased a local café for one hundred dollars. No your Milwaukee mover didn’t make a typo, the restaurant’s founder, Michael Diedrick, sold the restaurant for the unheard-of price of only one hundred dollars. The restaurant is in good condition, and was appraised at fifty thousand; Benton’s offer of one hundred dollars wasn’t even the highest bid! There are several stipulations regarding the sale; Benton will agree to keep the cafe’s current staff on board, to continue serving dishes on the current menu and also to feed Diedrick and his wife daily for one year; overall your relocation experts in Milwaukee think she got an excellent deal on the local café.

Milwaukee’s recycling program has begun moving over to “single-stream” recycling. What is single-stream recycling? Simply a style of recycling which does not have near the sorting requirements of traditional recycling where different types of glass metal and plastics are separated depending on the material. Not only will Milwaukee’s move to single-stream make recycling more convenient for participants, it will also enable Milwaukee to accept more types of material such as used pots and pans. The change to Milwaukee’s recycling plan will also reduce the use of oil which is also a plus. Overall, the transition to single-stream recycling for Milwaukee sounds like an excellent move!

After moving to a new area, learning your way around town can be a bit of a task. Finding your new favorite restaurants, grocery stores, coffee houses and more used to be a matter of trial and error; but the power of social networking has changed that minor inconvenience forever! Customer review communities such as Yelp have made it easy to narrow down your potential new faves from the comfort of your own home. Chances are high that an establishment with a long list of satisfied customers is right up your alley; especially customers who feel compelled to tell the world how much they enjoyed the experience they had. Your Milwaukee professional movers are fairly new to the Yelp community, and have already begun to gain a loyal customer base. Moving forward, Yelp and similar communities of review-sharing individuals will ensure that excellent consumer experiences are just a point and a click away!

One of Wisconsin’s previously best-kept secrets has recently undergone a bit of a transformation, and along with the change has come a bit more attention than it may have ever received before; and your Milwaukee movers here have definitely taken notice. The “Crow’s Nest” as it was dubbed by its creator, Harry Wirth, is a twenty-five-year-old home which is magnificently unusual. Wirth is both the architect and the occupant of the Crow’s Nest; he lives in the stunning house with his wife, Kathy Sawicki. At first glance it doesn’t require any wonder at all to understand what makes this structure unique among other homes in Wisconsin; it is taller than it is wide, is spacious despite its mere 700 square feet of interior living space, and after its 2011 exterior renovation is even more of a work of art than it already was twenty-five years ago when Wirth and Sawicki first built the home!

If the Cherry St. Bridge is part of your weekly route, you may have noticed a seemingly out of place water slide painted on a wall bordering the Milwaukee River. Your movers here frequently pass the ad/artwork and it has certainly grabbed our attention. A brilliant head-turner, the water slide painting starts at the top of the wall, and winds down ending cleverly where a natural water pipeline is to flow into the river. The already thought provoking piece of street art is actually part of an ad campaign aimed at increasing awareness of the importance of river water sanitation, and just became a little more thought provoking as the water flow was turned on today at noon! The advertising firm behind the water slide ad is called thirsty boy, and apparently has a lot more up their sleeves as far as raising river awareness is concerned. Your Milwaukee movers here are a fan of the message, and definitely a fan of the brilliant visual; we can’t wait to see what Thirsty Boy has in store!
