The great outdoors Seen our Scholarship Channel lately?
By Chuck Engel Features Editor We've added over 250,000 brand new scholarships Summer is the slowest season for most and revamped our entire site to give you Milwaukee bars. Backyard barbeques and the more accurate search results! numerous outdoors festivals happening in town outsell most taverns and dance clubs every year. Not to mention, many of the older bars in town don't have air conditioning. It's an expensive feat to install air conditioning in older buildings, and even if a bar is air-conditioned, who really wants to be indoors on a beautiful summer evening any way? Solution: outdoor seating. Many bars have figured out that people flock to any opportunity for consuming alcohol while out doors. It's only natural, having been cooped up inside our homes, or homes away from home, for the last nine months of the year. Here are three of the East Side's best tavern locations with outdoors seating.

The Angelina Jo lie interview The lips, the tats, the landmines By Diego Costa Arts & Entertainment Editor

And she inhabits the Hollywood realm with out letting it consume her. What is so alluring about her is that she seems to be a question mark, only revealing enough to make us want more. And she seems to have the exact amount of tolerable arrogance. She won an Academy Award for "Girl, Interrupted" and has built a pub lic persona for herself of female pow er, independence and strength. So, why would such a unique diva still get drawn by blockbuster movies whose Angelina Jolie's lips like to spend artistic intentions are close to zero? time taking care of her son Angelina's new film, "Lara Croft Maddox and raising awareness Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life" for world issues.
