It’s really cool to see how disposable contemporary building / architecture is — when was that site developed by WE-Energies parent corp. … in the 1990s?
The multi-use building that stood on this corner from the 1910s may not have been appropriate today with its Prussian-helmeted tower (similar to the Brumder bldg. and the Grohmann Museum – oldmilwaukee.net may have a photo posted in their archive).
That’s not a criticism, even by inference, but it makes me wonder about the real costs of things that can go up and come down so easily (a bogus news story in early summer on WUWM about the obsolescence of the Bradley Center in comparison to the Arena notwithstanding).
Speaking of grocery stores in that area, when I was a footsore meter man for the ‘Lectric Co., once a month I visited the family owned Lena’s Grocery Store a block or two west on North Ave. They were on my serpentine route through that neighborhood. I remember a very friendly staff.
Pete’s Fruit Market will be a great addition to the 6th Ward with a full service deli and wide selection of fresh foods. Dollar Tree was denied a food license, not a liquor license, which made their plans to open a store not financially feasible.
@Paul – Thanks for commenting. You are correct on the license type.
What happened to the $325,000 loan to Khullar? Paid back I suppose.
