1. What Milwaukee can learn from Baltimore's community policing plan (wrjn.com) — Milwaukee's Community Collaborative Commission is drawing lessons from Baltimore as it finalizes a community policing plan meant to give residents a stronger voice in how MPD operates. Local leaders describe efforts to make every officer responsible for community engagement, focus on root causes of crime, and potentially tie promotions to problem-solving work, with success ultimately measured by how Milwaukee neighborhoods feel about policing changes.
2. 'A caricature of words': Milwaukee man uses old typewriter technology to create new community connections with personalized poetry (cbs58.com) — A Milwaukee poet known as Johnny Types Ink is using vintage typewriters at local events to turn heartfelt conversations into personalized poems. By inviting Milwaukee residents to sit, talk, and choose their paper color, he slows people down, helps them feel seen, and reconnects them with their own words in the city where the typewriter was first patented.
3. Gas prices break $5 a gallon in Milwaukee (wisn.com) — Drivers in Milwaukee are waking up to regular gas topping $5 a gallon, with some BP stations in the Third Ward and near 12th and Highland charging about $5.19. Experts blame global oil disruptions and a Midwest refinery shutdown, while local shoppers are urged to use rewards programs, warehouse clubs, and price-comparison apps to soften the hit at the pump.
4. Ube MKE: Child-run small business brings Filipino-inspired sweet treats to Milwaukee (wisn.com) — A Milwaukee family has launched Ube MKE, a child-run baking business bringing Filipino-inspired cookies, brownies, muffins, and cakes to the Shorewood Farmers Market every Sunday. After moving to Milwaukee last year, they saw a lack of Filipino businesses and now use their home kitchen to share ube-based treats and culture with local residents.
5. Ukrainian war veterans share stories of service, resilience at Milwaukee Central Library (cbs58.com) — Ukrainian war veterans recently visited Milwaukee Central Library to share firsthand stories of service, sacrifice, and resilience with Milwaukee-area residents. Hosted by Wisconsin Ukrainians, the book presentation and Q&A offered locals a chance to better understand the conflict, support the area's Ukrainian community, and hear from veterans who were wounded in some of the war's fiercest fighting.
