It's simultaneously heartwarming and heart wrenching to volunteer one's time in a place like this, the children are fun, interesting, cute, and they have so much going against them. The school is the safest place in their world, and there is all sorts of learning going on here in spite of under-funding and a Soviet style bureaucratic structure for the overall school system. The process to get into here or similar schools as a volunteer is a bit time consuming but don't let that stop you, it's really rewarding. The staff and teachers are just so wonderful it's pretty inspiring. Make sure you lock your car.

Although it doubles as their gym, it's a beautiful old multipurpose school theater with lively acoustics. It's in some need of repair and restoration but it's still full of charm.

I've had the pleasure of working here for the last couple years and been a part of the revitalization of the older buildings around this campus. Football fields, soccer areas, school campus and buildings litter this spot and make for one solid scape of a school structure. In the summer it's a nice walk around the neighborhood that surrounds this spans. Just an all-around pleasure to see the maintenance on this classic spans of area on the edge of Milwaukee proper.

If you're looking for a new parish home or want to see one of the beautiful churches in the south side of Milwaukee, I urge you to check St. Anthony's out. I especially love the main altar, the side altars and the shrine dedicated to St. Anthony complete with his relic. There is a 12 noon Mass in English for those looking for a daily Mass in the middle of the day. Parking during the weekday can be difficult but there is metered parking nearby.

While this may not entirely be a review for just the union, I suppose has to boil down that. I…read moreoriginally came here to review the Gasthaus, the student-run bar in the basement. Having only been here once as a freshman before turning 21, I couldnt really experience the full ambiance of a bar in the basement of a student union. With that said, the decor provides little ambiance at all. Its a low-ceilinged, white and light brown tones and is HUGE. enough seating for over 200 people, judging from my last time being there. The food itself is effing awesome, and for the price, you can't go wrong. Patty Melt anyone?! Deep fried cheese curds are also amazing, and if you sit on one side of the bar, you can peer right back into the kitchen (though you may not want to, lol). Clientele? Mostly sausage. Testosterone pumped male students who came to down some beers and watch the game, while eating good food. I can't really complain there, its normally I sight I'd welcome and don't get to see in class. Besides, what's better than sausage? Unfortunately, their female companions who stroll in are usually the ditzy broads who don't know the difference between their hair straightener pamphlet and the business law paper due next week. They also can't see much due to the abundance of eyeliner penciled over their fake orange skin. Yeah, I'd take the sausage too. Beer list is actually decent for a student bar; lots of Lakefront, your standard domestics, and a fair amount of other microbrews. Most are $4 each, but eh, what do you want? Great place to chill out and down a few cold ones while working on that paper you have due the next day at 9 am. Cheers Gasthaus, Cheers!
