Glorioso’s On Brady
by Catherine Jozwik
Glorioso’s, the Italian grocery store and East Side favorite for 64 years, is planning to expand and move to a different location. Luckily for its loyal patrons, Glorioso’s won’t be leaving Brady Street. Its owners have purchased the building that formerly housed the Brady Street Pharmacy and the new store is projected to open in spring 2010.

Neighbor Spotlight: Marina Lee
Photo and Story by Janice Christensen
“They’re guardians,” Marina Lee explains, referring
to the brightly-colored fiberglass sea monsters,
giraffes and creatures of mystery that inhabit her
back yard and so many Milwaukee playgrounds and
schoolyards. Kids need guardians to watch over them,
and Marina’s sculptures provide them.
