MILWAUKEE, Wis. — Monday marked the final episode of Milwaukee Tonight for 2024.
We're feeling nostalgic, so we’ve compiled a recap of some of the best-hidden gems discovered over the past year by the Milwaukee Tonight team!
January: Health and Fitness at Turner Hall
In January, we highlighted Turner Hall, which makes fitness accessible and fun with its climbing gym in the basement. The venue also features a gymnasium that offers classes for both kids and adults.
March: Turner Hall’s 170-Year History
In March, we returned to Turner Hall to celebrate the building’s 170-year history. We learned about Friedrich Jahn, the father of gymnastics, who invented equipment such as the pommel horse and parallel bars.
The building also played a pivotal role in the progressive movement, hosting a meeting that drew 3,000 attendees.
Spring: Burning Off Winter Energy
The spring season brought opportunities to burn off winter energy, for both us and our furry friends!
April: Speed Weenies
Bay View’s "Speed Weenies"offers a lure course for dogs to chase toys, providing a fun way for pets to stay active.
May: Bust n Stuff
In May, we introduced you to "Bust n Stuff," a rage room that gives visitors the chance to smash objects like glass and furniture with tools such as sledgehammers, offering a unique and guilt-free way to release pent-up energy.
Some of TMJ4's photographers accompanied Cassandra McShepard to test out the room,and they were not disappointed!
June: Brewers 50-50 Raffle
In June, James Groh joined the Brewers' game-day experience at American Family Field, helping with the 50-50 raffle. The Brewers Community Foundation, which has raised about $25 million, uses the proceeds to support youth programs in health, education, and recreation.
2024 Competition Series
This year also saw the debut of a competitive segment on the show between Cassandra McShepard and Shannon Sims, starting with a Pac-Man match in April.
The competition expanded throughout 2024, featuring challenges like kayaking, Halloween costume contests, and holiday centerpiece crafting.
