About The Uptown Observer

Quite succinctly, Kenosha, Wisconsin-based journalist Daniel Thompson, formerly of Kenosha News, created The Uptown Observer, a news media site, in the fall of 2020.

The Observer’s focus is on community news, the Kenosha music scene, photography and what we call “Humanity-Centered Stories” ⏤ pieces focusing on the feelings, thoughts and experiences that we all share as human beings.

“People that are wounded in these ways, just need to know they are important. They need to know that they’re not villains. They need to know they’re loved. They need to know that there is a road back. They need to know they’re still good. Or they can be. That there’s hope.” Merry Christmas. #haveaniceday #christmaseve #thatkenoshajournalist #kenosha #wishyouwell #picoftheday #pictureoftheday KENOSHA ⏤ We need to, as a society, go back to sticking to the Golden Rule in an unflinching and aggressively positive way when it comes to respect. "It's okay to be lonely. It makes the times you don't feel that way all the better." From now on, the Observer will focus on more personal parts of the Kenosha community: its music, its artists, its organizations, its heroes. #ICYMI: If you missed my conversation with Sophie Shulman of Carthage College the first time around, please take time to sit down and learn simple ways that you can go green at home locally. And in the moment, the only thing I could think to say to him was, “Sometimes we have bad days or bad weeks. But tomorrow can be better. And you’re a good kid, buddy. You’re a good kid.” Check out a playlist of this week's "Observer on the Scene" videos at https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCNbFqC_6ub1rVYbquDYmOm7K1Y49Smjy.
