Can ul list be both?

[Olwe]

I'm using a ul list with the li set to display: inline to get a horizontally listing menu. Nothing new. However, I also want the occasional vertical <li> item. Here's an example of my ugly code:

<ul>
    <li>something</li>
    <br />
    <li>something else</li>
    <br /><br />
    <li>town, state</li>
    <li>123.555.1212</li>
    <li>something else</li>
    <br /><br />
    <li>something else below</li>
</ul>

Using the <br /> is a kludge that works, but I can't help but feel there's a better way to mix inline with regular lists. Any suggestions?

PS: It just occurred to me that I could use a separate "sub ul" within a regular vertical ul. Is that the best way. I come from a programming background and having everything inside ul/li seems very elegant.....
