Ellie here. Last week, I asked for some music recommendations. This is what you shared:
|
🎵 “Central” by John Frusciante — Tim A.
🎵 “Stuck on You” by Ember — Julie W.
🎵 “Spring Can Really Hang You Up (instrumental)” by David Torkanowski & Lucia Micarellil — Tom C.
🎵 “Disappearing Light” by Lukas Nelson — Dave D.
🎵 “You Get What You Give” by New Radicals — Doug R.
|
These songs are just a fraction of the recommendations. Thank you to everyone who shared a suggestion!
It also seemed like many of you were interested in a playlist… keep an eye out for that in the future.
Today, we’re taking a look at some ways you can celebrate Women’s History Month with some women-owned businesses in Milwaukee, along with other Wisconsin news.

Not for chips or accessories, but for food their families can use to make meals.
Students in Arcadia can get free groceries at the Raider Market. A lot of kids do—not only because there’s a huge need, but because it’s normalized and a simple part of the school day.
The Feed My People Food Bank delivers food to the middle school every couple of weeks, providing consistent access to nutritious food, which reduces hunger-related distractions, boosts energy levels, and improves focus in the classroom.

US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is about to put a billion-dollar price tag on his loyalty to President Donald Trump or to his home state and a major transportation project in the congressional district he used to represent.
Sen. Tammy Baldwin along with Minnesota Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith, all Democrats, released a letter sent to Duffy on Monday that asks him to release a planned $1.05 billion grant that would allow construction to begin replacing the Blatnik Bridge, a major span connecting the Twin Ports of Superior, Wisconsin, and Duluth, Minnesota.
