Historic Third Ward
The "Historic Third Ward" is just south of the downtown business district. It is devoted to shopping, galleries, dining, and entertainment (according to its publicity booklet). I was mainly interested in its appealing variety of 1880-1920 architecture and the river walk (below).

The Historic Third Ward's main claim to fame is the Milwaukee Public Market, "bursting with unique, high quality selections of artisan and ethnic products." It is also a great place to sit in the second floor eating area and people-watch while cooling off.
