Xavier (“Xav”) Leplae opened his film and equipment rental store on Locust Street in the fall of 1998 after the film co-op associated with UWM’s Film Department folded. Listening to Leplae explain his motives, it’s clear his decision to open the store was less entrepreneurial than a desire to keep alive a creative, collaborative environment for film and video in Milwaukee.

At an age when many women are settling into mid-life activities and looking forward a decade or two to retirement, Ellias decided to apprentice herself to a wood-worker in Milwaukee.

COMPASS: A History in Public Art by Gail Simpson

Well, the part that makes Pipkorn’s memorable was that there was almost never anyone there to take the money. There was a little slot in the side of the building and you shoved your buck or two – whatever the going rate for a bag of sand was – into the hole in the building where, I guess, it fell on the floor or into a box. People loved it, talked about it, and I doubt Pipkorn, whoever he was, lost much money.
