Celebrating Ten Years of “Food for People, Not for Profit”
Riverwest Co-op:
by Erin Christman
They all say the same thing: that ten years ago, they couldn’t even have imagined the Co-op lasting this long.
No matter how many times I ask the founding members of the Riverwest Co-op & Cafe about its tenth anniversary, they’re always in awe of the accomplishment. “Ten years!” they exclaim, wanting to make sure I realize how amazing that is.

Neighbor Spotlight: In Memory • John Okopinski
The beginning of this story was published in December, 2002. I wrote it in November of 2002. Nine years ago.
I walked into the Falcon Bowl and slid onto a bar stool and gave barkeep John Okopinski a nod.
“Hi John, gimme a Klisch.”

Theresa Kenney – Riverwest Neighborhood Association’s 2010 “Neighbor of the Year” – gets up early. Her morning routine includes brewing a cup of green tea and then surfing the listservs of activist organizations in Riverwest. She scans the latest chatter from the Riverwest Co-op, the RNA, and Riverwest Health Initiative, the Victory Garden Initiative, Transition Milwaukee, Milwaukee Urban Gardens and Concordia Gardens.
