Our Milwaukee: Outpost Natural Foods

by Catherine Jozwik, photos by Jan Christensen 

 What began as the East Kane Street Food Co-op  in 1970, a small store completely owned and staffed  by volunteers, became Outpost Natural Foods,  Milwaukee’s main place to buy local, organic foods and  other goods. With three store locations in Riverwest,  Bay View, and Wauwatosa, Outpost has thrived and  become an important community fixture.

Editorial: Letter From Zagora

Editorial: Letter from Zagora     

ED. NOTE: Every few months the Riverwest Currents receives a mysterious missive that seems to be from the future.

They come with clear instructions about how and when to publish them. The writer often refers to some kind of  cause and effect notion – we need to print the letter now, so that something specific will happen, and the future of  the letter will be the future that comes about. We’ve toyed with the idea that, if we didn’t print a letter, perhaps the  future they come from would wink out of existence, and the letters would cease. We decided not to take that chance.
