With Ikea coming to Oak Creek, the Drexel Avenue corridor is going to boom! Starting on the east end at Pennsylvania Ave & Drexel Ave with the huge apartment complex. maybe it is time to discuss with Oak Creek the possibility of Oak Creek to Annex South Milwaukee to become bigger and development will flourish. Time to think outside the box! Combining City Services has already begun. Why Not??
I would like to see Board Game Barrister upgrade the South Milwaukee store – to more of a robust store and not just a warehouse, It’s a great place to take kids, but inside/outside is not very desirable.
