Milwaukee's Colectivo Among Epicurious 25 Best Coffee Shops

-
You know we like to tout #MKEPride here at GMM - it is as much about Milwaukee as men after all - and we feel the need to help us get over our inferiority complex. Milwaukee has been in many national best lists lately, and we keep a running tab here. Well, one of Milwaukee's great hoe,grown businesses just made another list. Colectivo Coffee Roasters and Cafes were named one of America's 25 Best Coffee Shops by Epicurious.

Epicruious calls Colectivo a 'vanguard of the U.S. coffee movement' and touts the community vibe enhanced by concerts by MSO, the Florentine Opera, and Música del Lago throughout the year.

So Viva Colectivo! and congratulations on achieving another accolade for Milwaukee culture.

One of the best ways is to create and maintain safe spaces for them to do the activities. In Wauwatosa they are doing just that with a new skate park being planned in Hart Park. With the assistance of Tosa Skateboarders United , TSU, and the  Jack Doyle Memorial Challenge Grant funds have been raised to build a new skate park that will provide a dedicated, safe place for skaters in the city to, well, skate.

With it being Memorial Day weekend, I wanted to cover ways for men to do right by the holiday - to observe the reason for the holiday in addition to the fun festivities we will participate in as part of the three-day weekend and the unofficial start of Summer. The holidays seem to have evolved into days we celebrate for having a day off of work rather than for recognizing why it is a holiday - a 'holy' or sacred day. We plan parties or dinners, go to sporting events or use the extra time to fit in a movie, but the commemoration of the day's origin and meaning fall by the wayside more and more each year it seems. So this Memorial Day, make sure you take some time to honor what it is about, a Memorial or memory of men and women who died in service to America. There are of course the parades and ceremonies that you can find around town, but here are some different and lesser kno
