Well guys, what can I say? Lovely Assistant giveth and Lovely Assistant taketh away. I followed her to Milwaukee from that mythical land of row houses and narrow streets, the East Coast, and now I’m journeying on to that mythical land of flatness and a football team most people here would gladly rip to shreds with their bare hands if attacking a pro football player wasn’t such a great way to ensure that you’ll be drinking all of your beer through a straw for some time to come, Illinois. I’ll be sad to leave, but hey, let us not bow our heads in sorrow — let us bow them in drunkenness! One more time!

Life as a Brady Street Tree
Because of cutbacks to city budgets, many of the trees on Brady Street go unwatered by anybody but Mother Nature. Therefore it’s vitally important that storeowners take care of the trees in front of their businesses.

Marty Horning
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.

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.
