Today on Lake Effect, we look at the new Milwaukee PBS documentary America’s Dairyland at the Crossroads, and the state of the industry in Wisconsin. Then, we learn how a twelve hundred-year-old canoe was found and excavated from the bottom of Lake Mendota. In our Book of the Month series, a Milwaukee Public librarian talks about the magic of a good romance novel. Plus, Bubbler Talk explores the city’s first music store.
