Pizza Man to Open on Downer Avenue this Summer

More than three years after it went up in flames, the popular East Side restaurant will once again serve up slices come June.

More than three years after a four-alarm fire destroyed the East North Avenue mainstay, Pizza Man will make its much-anticipated return to Milwaukee's east side this summer. A few blocks south of the Shorewood border, Mike Amidzich hopes to open the restaurant in June at the corner of North Downer Avenue and East Belleview Place, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Carol Deptolla writes. Pizza Man will fill the first and second floors of the building and include a second-story patio for outdoor dining.  The owner tells Deptolla he is still working out the menu, which will include some old customer favorites and some vegetarian options, but the restaurant will continue to offer his notable, award-winning wine menu.

New Again Resale Shop Sports Upscale Resale Items

The new shop has been so busy, owner Trenice Jackson says the shop will have to wait to take more consignment items until current items move along.

New Again Resale opened its doors in Bradley Place Shopping Center earlier this month and if you drive by on a week day, when the shop is often closed, you can see sprinkles of people peeking in the big front window. Owner Trenice Jackson opened the store April 6 and said it's the positive community that sparked her interest to set up shop in Bradley Place. "I live in Milwaukee, but I picked Fox Point to open my shop because the building owners were so welcoming to my idea and I'm only 10 minutes away," she said. The store is peppered with all kinds of new and consignment items from scarves to sunglasses, jewlery, shoes and clothes. "Resale is a great way to recycle," Glendale resident Carol Curley said.
