In any city, there are interesting places — one that are typically not open to the public. They’re spaces you pass by and say, “I wonder what happens in there.” Doors Open Milwaukee gives everyone the opportunity to act on that curiosity, with access to more than 160 locations around the city, mostly for free.
It’s an annual celebration of the city’s architecture, history and neighborhoods, and it’s back at the end of September. For this episode, host Kim Shine got the chance to preview one of the most popular tours during Doors Open: Milwaukee City Hall.
