Top Things To See in Milwaukee--The Brewery Neighborhood

We modified the Brewery Neighborhood walk from "Walking Milwaukee by Royal Brevvaxling and Molly Snyder" and started at the "Acqua Grylli" on the Riverwalk. It is a public art work by Beth Sahagian that depicts a mythical female figure. It's located on the west side of the Milwaukee River between Wells Street and Kilbourn Avenue.
