Horning admits to an encyclopedic knowledge of Riverwest bars, taverns and restaurants, but more important to him are social justice and equality. Over the years, he’s done everything from volunteering at Peace Action Wisconsin to working with high school dropouts to dousing neo-Nazis at a civil rights march with sauerkraut.

Inside Story – Jewel
The scene is the Jewel-Osco store on the corner of Humboldt and North — the same store that caused such controversy when it was first proposed back in 1997. Local residents crowded into meetings of the City Zoning Committee and the Common Council to express their opposition to the development, but all to no avail. Jewel-Osco came into Riverwest with promises of providing a quality supermarket that would be an asset to the neighborhood and providing jobs to local residents.

Friendly and Serene Haven
One bows, then enters the downstairs shrine room. Rows of royal blue and lemon yellow cushions are arranged in short rows on the floor. There are simple but striking fresh flower arrangements done in the Japanese Ikebana style perched on windowsills, shrines and tables. The frosted windows diffuse the light and contribute to the room’s atmosphere of quiet, uncluttered serenity.

Outdoor Market Debuts in July
The indoor market, scheduled to open for the fall season, was constructed with a focus on natural light and ventilation as well as other “green building techniques.” The structure will have 21,500 square feet on the ground floor and 13,000 square feet on the second floor. A total of 24 vendors will occupy the main floor. Two fresh produce stands with vegetables, fruits, spices and flowers are planned for the center of the market. In spaces around the edges, shops will offer cheese, bakery goods, fresh meats and seafood, ice cream, soup, and specialty foods from Wisconsin.
