The Milwaukee Children's Choir performed their fourth annual Valentine's Sing-A-Thon Saturday.
Students ages 4-18 sang in the Milwaukee Children's Choir's Valentine's Sing-A-Thon Saturday in the rotunda of Bayshore Town Center.

Sara from SarandipitySaves.com shares her Black Friday shopping tips and tricks, and a few of the top store's best deals.
There's some argument as to why we refer to the Friday following Thanksgiving as "Black Friday." Philadelphia claims their police force coined the term in the 1960s after throngs of folks took to the streets to shop 'till they dropped. Others say the name was adopted by retailers as it was traditionally the first day of the year in which their sales brought them out of the red and into the black.

This year is expected to be an even bigger event. If you're gearing up to head out and throw elbows to snag the day's biggest steals, here's some tips on how to make it a…

A new express bus route between Bayshore Town Center and Mitchell International Airport would be created under a proposal subject to state Department of Transportation approval. Three regional advisory committees recommended the DOT allocate about $12.7 million in federal funds to Milwaukee County to create new express bus routes, according to a news release. In addition to the Bayshore-airport route, a new route between N. 124th Street and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, along Capitol Drive, would be created.

North Shore fire and police departments team up to focus on crime prevention and fire safety.
It's not every day that you can sit in a squad car or fire truck, shake hands with McGruff, the Crime Dog, or dress up like a firefighter. Those were just some of the events that took place at the 30th annual Safety Days at the Bayshore Town Center, where North Shore fire and police departments got their message out to the public about the importance of staying safe. The event gave families a chance to learn more about crime prevention, fire safety and what to do in an emergency - and to have a little fun while doing so.
