Chillin' with Acqua Grylli on Milwaukee's Riverwalk, y'2001

Meet Acqua Grylli, the quirky bronze fella guarding Milwaukee's Riverwalk secrets, crafted by local artist Beth Sahagian

Way back when, in the era when VHS tapes were still giving Betamax a run for its money, Beth Sahagian - a sculptor from the dreamy Cream City - brought Acqua Grylli to life. This cheeky, bronze arch is quite a sight, relaxing by Milwaukee River's west bank, next to Wells Street and Kilbourn Avenue. It seems like he's got his paws on the town's secret cache, but he's just another cool addition to Milwaukee's modern waterfront.
