📰 News we're reading

• Professor Emeritus Paul Florsheim Prevails in Lake Michigan Shoreline Access Case (uwm.edu) — A recent Milwaukee County court ruling confirms that walking along Lake Michigan's shoreline beyond Shorewood's Atwater Beach is protected under Wisconsin's public trust doctrine. The judge overturned a trespassing citation against a local professor, reinforcing public recreational access below the ordinary high water mark and potentially shaping how future shoreline disputes near Shorewood and elsewhere in Wisconsin are handled.
   

• 20 years. 100,000 questions. How Ryan Wickens turned a British pub quiz into a Midwest tradition (milwaukeerecord.com) — A Milwaukee-area trivia institution actually traces its roots to a British pub that opened in Shorewood in 2006, where packed weekly quiz nights quickly took off. From those early Shorewood contests, Quizmaster has grown into a Midwest-wide operation with themed games, virtual events, and even a new card game, all while keeping the same community-focused, pen-and-paper pub quiz feel.
