Two Third Ward updates: liquor and parking

Margarita Paradise, inside the Milwaukee Public Market, got its liquor license today. So, it's official the new eatery can now truly put the margarita into its paradise.

I'm having lunch at MP tomorrow, so a blogged review is on its way. Early reviews (including a tasty breakfast burrito that I scarfed down during its opening weekend) have been very positive. And, my brief interactions with staff there have been great too. It's a fine addition to the Public Market.

In other Third Ward news, 32 new LUKE meters will be installed in the area extending from Water St. east to Milwaukee St., and from St. Paul Ave. south to Erie St. and Menomonee St. Approximately 305 metered spaces will be replaced by LUKE units, bringing the total LUKE-serviced spaces in the Historic Third Ward to 349 when the project is complete by year's end.
