Friday on Lake Effect:
For the last couple years, WUWM has been reaching out to our listeners to ask what questions you have about the Milwaukee-area. Those questions led to answers in the form of our Bubbler Talk series. Today, we’re showcasing our favorite Bubbler Talks from 2017. On today's show, we learn about the origins of Milwaukee neighborhood names, they city’s abolitionist history, and many other stories from the area we call home.
