What we’re reading on Friday morning.

A mall development planned for Muskego would top out at 44 feet tall but has run into conflict seeing as the town normally limits buildings to a humbler 35.

Yes it’s a clickbait ranking, but it’s from FiveThirtyEight: Milwaukee fares well as a city “most like America.”

The intense Fox 6 investigation into synthetic marijuana, during which reporters buy some.

The new Bucks arena will also double as a hockey rink, but there are no plans for the Admirals to move in.
