It didn't really have a catchy name (zeroes? oughts? ohs?), but the first decade of the 21st century ushered in some interesting developments for Milwaukee like the Calatrava addition to the Milwaukee Public Museum, the Milwaukee Public Market, Miller Park and the Harley-Davidson Museum.

The first month of a new decade is a perfect time to contemplate some of the things we'd like to see happen during the "teen" years. We came up with a list of 100 (in no particular order). Some are general. Some are specific. Some are serious. Some are lighthearted. Some are downright snarky. But, it was fun to focus on the kind of Milwaukee we want to see take shape in the next decade.
