This month at Metropawlis:
Hopefully this message finds everyone safe and dry considering the bad weather we had in June. Thanks to everyone who came down to the store during the not-so-nice weather days! Summer is officially here, and the store is filled with great new products that will have your pet enjoying the “Dog Days of Summer” (or the "Cat Days of Summer," as the case may be). Make sure to check out the new products noted below. Gallery Weekend: July 25th and 26th
Gallery weekend takes place July 25th and 26th. Come and see what it’s all about--visit Metropawlis and other boutiques and galleries in the neighborhood! Remember that Metropawlis, Anthropologie, and Hot Pop are all dog friendly and welcome well-behaved pooches! The July Gallery Night takes on a street party atmosphere with great shopping, food, music, and, of course, art! Metropawlis will be open until 9 pm on Friday and until 6 pm on Saturday, and we’ll have refreshments available for dogs and their guests! Enter to win our Gallery Night Drawing for a $25 gift card. Hope to see you there! New Products For Your Dog and CatEach and every month we add to our selection so that we can keep a visit to Metropawlis feeling new and fresh. We still have your old Summer favorites (Water Loopies, cooling bandanas and Bowser Beer), of course! But here are some new pet products for your consideration:
Soft Eco Toys: If you have a pet that prefers a soft toy, our new line of eco friendly toys are just the thing! Strong fabric made up of 85% recycled IntelliLoft™ fibers surrounds a squeaker, for an eco-friendly, high-quality dog toy. Dancin’ Man will happily dance his way into your pooch’s heart! Super soft suede combines with a cuddly silk material to give Dancin’ Man an irresistible texture. Add a long-lasting squeaker and recycled polyfill and your precious pup will not want to put him down! Mod Cat and Dog Frames will spruce up your home décor with a picture of your favorite furry friend. Bone-shaped frames come in black, white or lime green. Cat-shaped frames come in white, black and orange. The Rockin’ Mouse is covered in soft, colorful fur, has a weighted bottom that keeps it moving, and has been treated with catnip. Sure to keep your feline friend entertained! Kitty Hoots Springy Worms offer springy technology for cat psychology ('cause kitties love bouncy stuff, you know). They're built to bounce, plus they've thrown in a bit of that wonderful high-test Zoom Around the Room catnip to get things hoppin'. Gill Friends are just the lure your kitty is fishing for. These fish (with a fresh catch of their own) are a-flippin' and a-floppin' & no kitty can resist! We're pretty sure your cat is going to take the bait again and again. Catnip inside.

Is This Your Milwaukee?The Los Angeles Times sent a reporter to Milwaukee to cover the opening of the new Harley-Davidson museum (which is less than a mile west of Metropawlis). If you haven't been down to enjoy everything downtown and the Third Ward has to offer this summer, shame on you! Check out what the Times has to say: "Milwaukee Beer. If that's your first thought after hearing the word 'Milwaukee,' you haven't been here lately. In the last decade, the country's 25th largest city has gone through such a massive revitalization that 'cosmopolitan' is a more apt description than 'blue collar.'" "I wasn't expecting to be... blown away by the city. I'm still fantasizing about moving there." "Coming from L.A., I was surprised by how easy it was to get around. In Los Angeles, it takes at least 30 minutes to get anywhere. In Milwaukee, it's about five." "If I hadn't known I was in Milwaukee, I would have guessed it was Seattle. Milwaukee seemed just as hip, progressive and clean as Seattle... On the sunny days I was here, it had just as many people jogging and bicycling through its parks. It's also smaller and easier to navigate." The secret about Milwaukee is getting out! Getting through the Marquette Interchange & Parking
And parking nearby is plentiful! Here's a tip: Many folks stick to Water and Broadway Streets when seeking parking, but there's a lot more parking to be found just a block or two to the east, on Milwaukee and Jefferson Streets. There are also three lots and structures within a couple blocks:
