The American Dream Isn't Dead...But It's Changing

Starting today, Patch sites nationwide will chronicle the pursuit of the dream - and the obstacles to achieving it - in an ongoing series of stories.

When a Fox Point art dealer opened his shop in 2004, he never anticipated being tossed into the middle of the worst economy since the Great Depression. But Frank Allen Sadler, owner of the Frank Allen Gallery on North Port Washington Drive, opened his doors to host his first exhibition in two years in hopes to bounce back. He's pursuing the American Dream. So are Patty McNichols and Oanh Vu, as they bring new businesses to Audubon Court like The Lift Pilates, and Pho Hai Tuyet II.
