Milwaukee is a wonderful city toexplore by foot. Whether youare a jogger, a hiker, or astroller, our town has tremen-dous parks and neighborhoods.
You will find Milwaukee's lake-front an ideal place to begin.Lake Michigan's shoreline isnaturally beautiful, and thoughtful leaders accentuat-ed the beauty by making sure vast expanses remainopen public spaces. Museums, memorials, and thefestival grounds are great walking destinations alongthe lakefront.
Milwaukee has unique neighborhoods and commer-cial districts to discover. Consider a walk through BayView, the Third Ward, Martin Luther KingDrive, or Brady Street to get a better understanding ofwhat makes Milwaukee special.
There are a number of trails in the city. Along one ofthem, the Hank Aaron trail in the Menomonee Valley,you can walk to the city's newest park, Three Bridges.
When you're on foot in Milwaukee you will find lots ofpeople out there with you, enjoying every step.
Sincerely,
Tom Barrett, Mayor

CONTINUING A YEARLONG celebration ofAmerican art and artists, the Milwaukee ArtMuseum will unveil an original exhibition on the career of American artist Thomas Sully (1783–1872).
Thomas Sully: Painted Performance is the firstretrospective of the artist in 30 years, and the firstto present both the artist’s portraits and subjectpictures. The exhibition opens October 11 andcontinues through Jan. 5, 2014.
“The exhibition provides a major new look at oneof the most important nineteenth-centuryAmerican artists, who expressed his lifelong loveof the theatre and literature in paintings,” saidDaniel Keegan, Milwaukee Art Museum director.
“Shakespeare, fairy tales, popular culture, andthe movers and shakers and celebrities ofnineteenth-century American society are allcaptured in Sully’s work.”
Painted Performance brings together more than 70paintings from public and private collections andpresents them thematically, in four sections:
Key COVER FEATURE
8
theatrical portraits of specific actors in a role;traditional portraits shaped by the artist’stheatrical and literary imagination; fancyportraits, imaginary portraits as conceits orinspired by whimsy; and fancy pictures, narrativepaintings based on literary or artistic sources orthe imagination.
Sully employed drama, theatricality and aheightened sense of activity to great effectthroughout his long career. In some of hisgrandest full-length portraits, Sully composed hisfigures as if they were literally onstage. Even inportraits that seemingly have nothing to do withthe formal world of the theatre, his subjects act todirectly engage the viewer.
The artist brought a similar level of theatricality tohis fancy pictures. An important and unexploredcategory of mid-nineteenth-century Americanpainting, fancy pictures were a special kind ofnarrative art that targeted viewers’ emotions andthat often included social commentary. Sully’sfancy pictures offer a window into the issues ofthe day, including questions about gender, race,and childhood.

By JERRY SLASKEKEY Milwaukee golf editor
SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER are ideal months forgolf in Wisconsin. The bugs are gone, the humidityhas moved on, and the temperatures are as com-fortable as listening to Dean Martin, the king ofcool.
Sure, there are some nasty days to let us know thatwinter is around the corner, but, for the most part,this is the time to tee it high and let it fly.
Many courses also have fall discounts – particular-ly this year since the spring was so wet – and thecourses aren’t as crowded. Moreover, the landscapeis bursting with color as the foliage turns to golds,oranges, reds, and browns. It all adds up to agolfer’s delight.
Here are a few favorites at this time of year:
• Brown Deer: A former stop on the PGA tour’sregular season schedule, Brown Deer is alwaysstunning and the conditions are impeccable withextremely fast and true greens. Thousands ofmature trees line every fairway of this coursebuilt in 1929. 414-352-8080, milwaukeecountygolfcourses.com
• The Bull at Pinehurst Farms: There are enoughtrees, streams and ponds, and elevation changesat this spectacular Jack Nicklaus Signature coursein the northern Kettle Moraine area to make youmarvel at Mother Nature. It’s well worth thedrive to Sheboygan Falls. 920-467-1500, golfthebull.com
• Erin Hills: Very little earth was moved by manto build this huge brute highlighted by beautifulrolling hills and meadows. It was the site of the2012 US Amateur and will host the 2017 USOpen. Because the only structures visible are theIrish manor-style clubhouse and the spires of thebasilica at Holy Hill, Erin Hills makes you feelone with nature. 262-670-8600, erinhills.com
•Morningstar: Like Washington County, this coursesits high so the views are awesome, especially fromthe clubhouse. It’s a gorgeous track and one of thebest challenges in the area – or anywhere. 262-662-1600, golfthestar.com
• Nagawaukee: A wonderful tree-lined layout, butthe back nine is especially pretty at this time of theyear. Overlooking Pewaukee Lake, It has enoughups and downs to rival any roller coaster. The coloris spectacular. This course does an amazing job ofkeeping the fairways and even the rough clear ofleaves. 262-367-2153, golfwaukeshacounty.com
• Washington County: Although this Arthur Hillscourse (bent grass tee to green) is links style withnary a tree on the property, it sits high above PikeLake State Park and the northern Kettle Moraine.It’s a stunning vista as you stand at the clubhouseand look toward the spires of the Basilica at HolyHill. 262-670-6616, golfwcgc.com
Other fine courses to play in the fall include:The Bog, 262-284-7075, golfthebog.com An Arnold Palmer design impeccably manicured thatincludes wetlands, woods, and wildlife habitat; Brighton Dale Links, 262-697-4653, golfbrightondale.com 45 challenging holes in the midst of the bucolic BongState Recreational Area; Broadlands, 262-392-6320, broadlandsgolfclub.com Not particularly scenic, but a fine bent-grass layouttol challenge your complete game.Also: Fire Ridge, 262-375-2252, fireridgegc.comWonderful track without a weak hole in the bunchand superb conditions; Ironwood, 262-538-9900, ironwoodgolfcourse.com 36 testy holes with tough greens and lots of trees,wetlands, and rolling hills make this a fall favorite;Kettle Hills (original 18), 262-628-0200, kettlehills.com – Interesting, tough layout amongrolling hills covered in trees; and Rock River Hills, 920-485-4990, rockriverhills.com Short, but challenging layout that sits aside the beau-tiful, water fowl-inhabited Horicon Marsh.

When Captain Frederick Pabst, Milwaukee’sfamed beer baron, began construction of a newmansion for his family in 1890, he could not haveanticipated that it would survive and thrive intothe twenty-first century as a testament toAmerica’s Gilded Age.
Designed by George Bowman Ferry and AlfredCharles Clas, construction at 2000 Grand Avenue
(now Wisconsin Avenue) lasted two years andwas completed in July 1892 at a cost of just over$254,000 – including the house, furnishings andartwork.
As leading figures in Milwaukee society, CaptainPabst and his wife, Maria, became consummateart collectors, filling their mansion with pricelesstreasures. During the years of the Pabst family’sownership, the house was the scene of many fineparties and receptions, a wedding, and, in theend, Captain and Mrs. Pabst’s funerals.
In 1908, the home became the residence ofMilwaukee’s archbishop for more than sixtyyears. Then in 1975, the mansion was nearly torndown to make way for a parking lot. After athree-year crusade, it was spared demolition and went on to become an award-winning housemuseum. It has been open to the public since1978.
Regular hours are 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. Mondaythrough Saturday and noon-4 p.m. Sunday.Guided tours start at: 10 and 11 a.m., noon and 2and 3 p.m.

Key RESTAURANT OF THE MONTH
VISITORS TO MILWAUKEE immediately knowthe dining scene is different here. Sure, thenational chains are well represented, but home-grown restaurants and restaurant groups areeverywhere.
Inside Mitchell International, travelers are greet-ed by Nona Bartolotta’s, an extension ofMilwaukee’s nationally recognized BartolottaRestaurant Group. Visitors arriving by rail or busat the city’s Intermodal Station enjoy the special-ties of All-Aboard Cafe, developed byMilwaukee restaurateur Azmi Alaedin.
Long-time favorites Long-time favorites like The Packing House onLayton Avenue across from Mitchell Airport, arenot content to rest on past performance. Ownedby the same family for more than 40 years, thepopular South Side restaurant upgraded its inte-rior and menu earlier this year. And the populari-ty of its lounge, with live entertainmentWednesdays through Saturdays, continues togrow.
In few downtowns would you find a local restau-rant that has been serving visitors and residentsfor more than a century. In Milwaukee, thatsenior citizen of the restaurant scene is Mader’s,which has been recognized as the “most famousGerman restaurant in North America.”
Since 1902, the Mader family has kept its name-sake restaurant open 365 days every year.
Growing ethnic rangeMilwaukee’s restaurant choices equal the selec-tion available in many larger cities, but the rangeis truly exceptional in terms of ethnic cuisine.
Chez Jacques continues to make its location at1022 S. First St. a real slice of France. OwnerJacques Chaumet recently introduced theBrasserie concept, offering menu selections avail-
