Back to blogging, and here’s what I apparently missed …
- Various news outlets are reporting that Caterpillar is closing a plant in Texas — and moving some of that work to South Milwaukee. So a win, but still a loss.
- Of course, the third-seeded South Milwaukee football team topped Messmer-Shorewood in its opening-round WIAA playoff game. Here is coverage from NOW. Next up: second-seeded Waterford at 7 p.m. Friday in Waterford. It’s the first trip to the second round of playoffs for the Rockets since 2010.
- Unfortunately, the Milwaukee Bucks released South Milwaukee’s Trey McKinney Jones over the weekend. I’ll keep you posted when I hear where, and if, he’ll be playing professionally (I assume he will).
- And South Milwaukee firefighters responded to Tuesday’s fire at We Energies. Thankfully, it wasn’t a major blaze.
Also, NOW has published a new police blotter.

see this means that they have confidence in the sm workforce and have no plans to close our plant any time soon.
I just wanted the great people of South Milwaukee to be aware…I just received a call from “PRIVATE CALLER”. The person proceeded to tell me he was with Spot Productions. He told me they will be filming on my street (he never mentioned my street name) and that we should not park on the street from 5 a.,m. to 10 p.m.. He said there would be explosions and tree branches may fall. He told me no one on our street should pull out of our driveways. I was responding things like “really” “oh wow”, etc. until I could not stand it. I finally said, “what if I told you my street has no driveways?” He said< "I have no control" and the air went dead. I believe it is just a prank but I wanted to share.
