Lisa Schelling likes plants, libraries, co-ops. Before she moved to Riverwest in August, 2010, she googled food co-op, and looked for something for rent within walking distance.

Neighbor Spotlight: Denise Crumble
by Sue Blaustein – Photo by Joshua Sutton
Denise Crumble has lived in Riverwest for thirty-two years, and she is not someone who drifts through life taking events as they come. Her decision to move to Riverwest in 1979 was a characteristically considered one, with the aim of living in concert with closely-held principles while meeting her needs as a single mother. She was a student at UWM majoring in secondary education, raising her daughter Fatima, and pregnant with her son Bakeer when she moved into a building at Booth and Burleigh.

It’s a two-pastor household on Humboldt Boulevard. Every Sunday morning Pastor April Berends heads for St. Mark’s Episcopal Church on North Hackett just off Downer Avenue where she is the rector. Husband Drew Bunting heads out to Resurrection Church in Mukwonago where he is the vicar.
