It’s a links collection full of good vibrations, from vibrant predictions to vibrant basketball players to vibrating Harley-Davidsons.
- So when you think of Milwaukee, do you think of a city that’s “poised for vibrancy?” Virginia Carlson, research director at the Milwaukee-based Public Policy Forum, says she does. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel profiles the homegrown business leader who recently returned home full time after spending much of her career commuting to high-profile jobs in Chicago.
- Bucks center Larry Sanders let the world know that he was staying in Milwaukee “for the next five years,” and he did it by tweeting an Instagram picture of him signing the contract extension. Fox Sports Wisconsin reports that the deal adds four years onto his existing contract and is worth an extra $44 million, and SB Nation explains why it’s a good deal.
- If you long for the days when basketball was played on a work of art, well, here’s your chance to score some new memories. The MECCA floor, that popular and pragmatic creation of artist Robert Indiana, is coming back to life for a one-night show. The floor is being exhibited Friday night at the U.S. Cellular Arena, and the $10 ticket price benefits the MECCA Exhibition Project. WTMJ-AM 620’s Doug Russell has audio interviews with the organizers, and Jenna Kashou’s milwaukeemag.com story includes photos of the organizers with pieces of the floor.
- Here’s one upcoming meeting that should be one well-planned meeting. The Business Journal reports that starting Thursday, Milwaukee hosts more than 500 meeting planners for their annual Connect Marketplace convention.
- And finally, when in Rome, ride a Harley-Davidson. And when you can’t get to Italy, do it in Rome, Wis. FOX6 has the story of some Harley-Davidson riders getting an early start on the 110th Anniversary party.
