Skating Away From South Milwaukee To West Allis

Downtown South Milwaukee is losing another business.

FNF Skate Shop, an up-and-coming skateboard shop at 1203 Milwaukee Ave., has closed and will reopen later this month at 7332 W. Becher St. That’s according to a sign on the store’s door and its website.

While you may have never shopped there, this is a blow to downtown.

These are exactly the kind of destination, specialty retailers I’d love to see more of in our city center. In a big box world, it’s businesses like these that will make South Milwaukee competitive — and potentially lead the way in a downtown rebirth.

Now, we do have other businesses like this downtown, but it hurts to lose even one on that list.
