Update on Pabst Farms

Loyal readers, I apologize on not keeping you up-to-date with the latest in white flight trends… that being the development of Pabst Farms. The last time I reported on Pabst Farms, they (Pabst Farms Development Inc) were announcing that a new developer, Developers Diversified Realty, to create the sprawl mall.

Developers Diversified Realty announced their plans almost two months ago (yes, I’m playing catch up).

What did it include? Nothing special. Everything is focused around the interstate. They’re touting an “attractive entrance” as a giant sign that reads “Pabst Farms Oconomowoc” when you get off the interstate, and some landscaped, unnatural grass.

It’s really a shame that the use of the Pabst name here will taint the image of the real development happening at the old Pabst brewery on the edge of urban Milwaukee.
