On any given day in Shorewood, you might hear the rhythmic precision of Irish dance in one corner of town and catch the warm, complex aromas of a Pakistani kitchen in another. Our local businesses reflect a remarkable range of cultures, traditions and perspectives. They are more than storefronts — they are invitations. Each one offers a chance to learn something new, to try something unfamiliar or simply to see the world through someone else’s eyes.
Behind every studio, shop and restaurant is a person or family who took a risk and chose to share their heritage with us. That decision takes courage, hard work and a belief that the community will welcome it. As readers, neighbors and customers, we have the opportunity to honor that entrepreneurial spirit. Where you spend your time and money determines what thrives, and it's a reflection of our values.
I invite each of you to step inside a place you’ve never been. Listen to someone’s story. Taste something new. You may find that what feels different at first quickly becomes something you cherish.
The diversity of our business community isn’t just something to note — it’s something to experience, support and celebrate. It’s what makes our village not only more vibrant but more connected. It didn’t happen by accident, and it doesn’t sustain itself without support.

Village Solicits Greenway, Traffic-Calming Plans
BY JENNIFER ANDERSON | PHOTO BY BEN YATES
This spring, Shorewood Trustees gave the go-ahead for the Village to hire Toole Design to develop designs for a neighborhood greenway network and draft a traffic calming program. Toole Design, an engineering and planning firm that focuses on creating communities that are safe for pedestrians, bicyclists and drivers, will also partner with the Wisconsin Bike Fed to design and implement a public engagement strategy that allows residents to learn about the network and give their feedback in fun and accessible ways.
In 2025, the Village adopted its Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan, which included a proposed neighborhood greenways network. Neighborhood greenways are a subset of streets in a community that are designed to lower vehicle speeds, encourage walking and bicycling, and connect key destinations, providing safe routes for pedestrians and bicyclists of all ages and abilities.
Toole Design will use information gleaned from last year’s experimental traffic calming program, community input and industry best practices to recommend improvements for the neighborhood greenway network. Project manager and Shorewood resident Sara Schooley looks forward to engaging with residents to build excitement around the network, as well as better understand problem areas to create streets where residents feel comfortable walking, biking and rolling. She also wants to develop clear lines of communication so residents can easily share their concerns.
This project will be datadriven, and we invite the public to actively engage in the process.
Bart Griepentrog, Village planner
“We look forward to creating a traffic calming request program that’s simple, transparent and predictable to ensure residents know what happens when they submit a request and Village staff know what to do when they receive
it,” says Schooley. “At the same time, we will work to strengthen residents’ understanding of neighborhood greenways and traffic calming as key components of Shorewood’s commitment to walkability and bikeability.”
In addition to conducting public engagement opportunities and gathering traffic data through methods such as speed surveys, field observations and traffic counts, Toole Design will collaborate with Shorewood’s Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety subcommittee to gain feedback and build support. The firm will also schedule and run public meetings and events to elicit input and share information.
“We often receive calls from residents that drivers go too fast down their streets, and we want to respond to those complaints in a thorough and thoughtful way,” says Bart Griepentrog, Village planner. “This project will be data-driven, and we invite the public to actively engage in the process.”

One Man’s Trash is Another Man’s Pastime
BY JENNIFER ANDERSON | PHOTO BY PATRICK MANNING
Longtime Shorewood resident John Wettstein wants to make it clear he doesn’t think he deserves special recognition for his unusual hobby of collecting trash around the Village; it’s just something he started several years ago while walking his dogs. He’d walk by some garbage and think to himself: “Well, that doesn’t look very nice. Hopefully somebody will pick it up.”
There’s an immediate satisfaction that comes from picking up trash.
John Wettstein on his garbage collecting hobby
After a few days, he decided that somebody was him. “Yes, it’s inconsiderate to just toss your trash like that,” says Wettstein, who’s lived in the Village for over 25 years. “But it’s also inconsiderate to walk by it every day and not pick it up.”
Most days, you can catch Wettstein walking or biking around town dressed in his garbage collecting outfit and gloves stopping frequently to gather trash. He likens the task to the “Adopt a Highway” program where groups commit to keeping sections of the road clean, but his section is his own neighborhood.
When he first started, the amount of trash would irritate him and he’d be annoyed that people would be so careless. Over time though, he became less judgmental and achieved what he calls “a higher-level mindset about trash collection.” Now the process induces a zen-like state he finds relaxing.
“There’s an immediate satisfaction that comes from picking up trash,” Wettstein says. He loves that it’s a solitary pursuit he can do whenever he has a break from his job as a sales engineer at Northland Laser. Also, he adds, “When people see you, it becomes sort of contagious and they get inspired to collect trash in their own neighborhoods.”
Plastic single-use water bottles are the most common type of garbage he finds, but Wettstein has also found money, lost earbuds, keys, children’s artwork and lots of gloves. The staggering amount of trash he collects has brought home the idea that “As a society, we are really over-consuming.” He's also found that much of the trash he collects has blown out of open garbage bins, so he urges people to make sure their lids are secure.
For anyone who’d like to follow his example, he recommends that they “start off easy” and not get overly ambitious about the size of the area they try to clean up.
“When you see how much trash there is out there, you can easily feel like ‘why am I even trying?’” says Wettstein. “But don’t give up; it’s a battle you can only fight one day at a time. n
Resident John Wettstein has made it a habit to collect litter when he walks his rescue dogs Billie and Rae.
A Small Village with Global Tastes
BY JENNIFER ANDERSON | PHOTOS BY PATRICK MANNING
Shorewood may encompass only 1.5 square miles, but it offers a world of options to its residents. Looking around, you’ll find unique selections of food and entertainment that span the globe, from Francophiles gathering at Alliance Francaise de Milwaukee to enjoy French culture and conversation to kids learning the skill of Korean paper folding at So Cool Crafts.
Perhaps that’s no surprise for a community with the highest population density of any village in the state. Shorewood also has one of Wisconsin’s highest percentages of foreign-born residents, nearly 10%, and 35 different languages are spoken by our students. The Village also borders the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, which draws students and professors from all over.
"Cosmopolitan communities often form near universities and other institutions, attracting a diverse, educated workforce,” says longtime resident and urban studies PhD Tom Pilarzyk. “Shorewood’s residents seem to value diversity and inclusion while appreciating different cultures, so I'm not surprised that businesses with a specific cultural focus or flavor naturally gravitate to the village."
Shorewood is rich in ethnic options, giving its residents a cornucopia of cultures to sample. There's a place for everyone: soccer fans looking for a friendly spot to watch a match, Eastern Europeans hungry for a taste of home and locals eager to improve their foreign language skills. We have Casa de Corazon, a Spanish-immersion early learning center, the Riverside German beer garden in Hubbard Park and the Milwaukee Irish Dance Studio.
“For a small village, Shorewood is quite globally rich, and I think these business owners know they are welcome and valued here,” says Janet Henning, director of the Shorewood Business Improvement District. “Our residents are adventurous in their tastes and interests, and they will support unique businesses that might not make it elsewhere.”

offers a wide range of ethnic options. Where else can you enjoy Peruvian specialties like pezcado a lo macho and pollo a la brasa at C-Viche one night, French baguettes and croissants from North Shore Boulangerie the next morning, and traditional Indian and Pakistani cuisine like punjabi samosa from Pizza N Curry for lunch? We have egg rolls and fried rice at No. 1 Chinese restaurant, matzo ball soup and pastrami sandwiches at Benji’s deli, and soul food at Nino’s Southern Sides.
No single spot locally has a wider variety of imported goods than European Food & Gifts at 3557 N. Oakland Ave. Owner Nikolay Rogovskiy has cultivated an array of European merchandise that ranges from Latvian smoked sardines to hand-painted Russian matyrushka nesting dolls to Ukrainian vodka sold in a bottle shaped like an AK-47 (free Kalashnikov shot glass included!).
“Local customers come in because they’re curious and just want to look around,” says Rogovskiy. “They try some new things, like our frozen dumplings or European ice cream, and they like them so much they become regulars. Pretty soon, they’re doing nearly all their grocery shopping here.”
Our footprint in Shorewood may be small, but we have appetites that span the globe. n

BlackBear Children’s Boutique Offers Quality over Cutesy
BY JENNIFER ANDERSON | PHOTO BY PATRICK MANNING
Nearly a decade ago, resident Emma Carollo Damico had a problem. She wanted to outfit her niece and nephew but couldn’t find children’s clothes that met her standards. She wanted pieces made from high-quality materials that would hold up. Clothes in soft colors that weren’t bright pink or blue. Clothes that could handle a trip to the park but would work equally well for a family photo shoot.
Damico had been looking for a career change and also possesses a “can-do” attitude, so she solved the problem by opening her own shop, BlackBear Children’s Boutique. It started as an online store that sold the types of pieces she wanted for the children in her life, then expanded into periodic pop-up shops, and in 2019, BlackBear came to rest at 4312 N. Oakland Ave.
“Shorewood is such a family-focused community, and I felt that people would appreciate our quality standards,” says Damico.
Jessie Hoeft, who regularly buys gifts at BlackBear for young family members, raves about the durability of the clothes. “Everything I’ve ever bought over the years is still wearable and in good shape,” she says.
Damico does her research and is committed to suppliers that are transparent about their manufacturing and offer good
working conditions. She tends toward gender-neutral colors so the pieces can be passed on to a younger sibling or cousin when they’re outgrown, and she likes clothes that “aren’t so cutesy.”
I felt that people would appreciate our quality standards.

from machine-washable recycled mesh and designed in Denmark or whimsically patterned organic cotton clothing from Brooklyn-based Winter Water Factory.
BlackBear also carries games, toys and dolls, many of which can be tested by end-users in the store’s play area.
Damico believes in offering excellent customer service. She understands that her location is difficult for some to reach during the Oakland Ave. reconstruction but says customers can call the shop at 414.368.0110 or visit her website, blackbearboutique.com, and she will hand-deliver any purchases within the Village for free. n

Village Recognizes World Migratory Bird Day
BY JENNIFER ANDERSON | PHOTO BY PATRICK MANNING
Village Trustees voted this spring that Shorewood will annually observe World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD).
The Village joins hundreds of other communities around the world that recognize this day, always the second Saturday in May. The day was created by the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center in 1993 to “celebrate and bring attention to one of the most important and spectacular events in the Americas — bird migration.”
The first step toward conserving migratory birds is raising public awareness of the many threats they face.
Chuck Hagner, local bird expert
Shorewood’s resolution recognizes that WMBD “has become a primary vehicle for focusing public atten-
tion on the nearly 350 species that travel between nesting habitats in our communities and throughout North America and their wintering grounds.” The Village commemorated the day in part by holding three free local bird walks led by resident Charles Hagner, author of the American Birding Association Field Guide to Birds of Wisconsin and former editor-in-chief of BirdWatching magazine.
“The first step toward conserving migratory birds is raising public awareness of the many threats they face, the journeys they undertake and the widespread joy their arrival invariably provokes,” says Hagner. “The resolution that Shorewood has adopted is a critical component of raising that awareness. By voting for it, our trustees have signaled that enjoying and caring for birds isn't something done by just a few birdwatchers like me; it's a serious matter worthy of formal consideration by elected officials.” n
Local bird expert Chuck Hagner says the Village’s recognition of World Migratory Bird Day is a “critical component” of conservation efforts.
Mike Marek on the Benefits of Native Plants
BY JENNIFER ANDERSON | PHOTO BY PATRICK MANNING
For Mike Marek, president and landscape ecologist of Marek Landscaping, LLC, restoring the land to its natural state is more than a job; it’s a vocation. Marek started his own landscaping business at 15, was Elm Grove’s assistant forester by 17 and had helped write an ordinance on native lawns that became the template for much of the country by his sophomore year in college. The Village hired his company to stabilize and restore the bluff and beach at Atwater Park following a big storm in 2010, and that work continues this summer. Here are his thoughts on the hows and whys of using native plants in your yard. What are the benefits of landscaping with native plants?
We live on a well-established migratory bird route, and habitats that support these birds are disappearing quickly. Our pollinator populations are in crisis as well. By using native plants, we can create little urban oases that attract pollinators and birds. The more we stitch those habitats back together, the more we can help those populations rebound. We can design and build landscapes that are thoughtful, elegant and play a vital role in ecology. We can't afford another generation of landscapes addicted to poison, creating air pollution, and providing zero nutrition for our birds and wildlife.
How can someone get started using native plants?
You can start small by using container plantings or creating small beds with a few native species, like foxglove, lavender hyssop or black-eyed Susans. Even a small number of native plants will surprise you with how many pollina-
tors they will attract. You can plant native grasses or milkweed at the edge of the lawn or in the backyard to attract monarchs and other butterflies, moths and dragonflies. If you’re going to plant a tree, an oak tree will provide more for biodiversity than any other single thing you can do.
By using native plants, we can create little urban oases that attract pollinators and birds.
Mike Marek on the pros of gardening with local plant species
How do you design a native yard so that it doesn’t look wild or unkempt?
You can develop a native landscape that still looks cared for but is also unique from the ubiquitous green suburban lawns. You don’t have to get rid of turf grass altogether, but you can
minimize it and increase the size of native plant beds and borders. Learn what the mature size of your native plants will be and plant shorter ones at the edges. Stay on top of weeding and get off the fertilizer and weed spray program. It’s a myth that native yards are maintenance free. Nature needs help getting back to nature, and it can take a few years to establish. While it may require as much work as a traditional lawn, you’ll be rewarded with healthier soil, plants that bloom longer and a yard that supports vital ecological relationships with native pollinators along with a healthy connection to the planet. n

Village Approves Ordinance to Allow for Native Planting
BY JENNIFER ANDERSON
After three years of research and working with Village staff, the Conservation Committee has gained approval from Village Trustees for residents to grow native gardens in their front yards without needing special permission, provided the plantings do not obstruct sidewalks. They can also grow native turf grass alternatives in the parkway, although other plantings in that space would require approval. This revision makes it easier for residents to cultivate native gardens in their yard.
“There's been increasing interest among Village resi dents in growing native plants to provide habitat for birds and insects whose populations have been declining at an alarming rate,” says Conservation Committee member Joey Sprague. “Native plants help support these beings, which are vital for our food supply and bring joy to our lives. It is heartening that the Village Board has removed a significant barrier to this effort.” n

Keeping Tradition Alive, Pin by Pin

This year, the Shorewood Recreation and Community Services Department was grateful to receive a grant from the Shorewood Foundation to renovate the bowling alley located at Shorewood High School. While many may not realize it, this facility is a rare asset for a public school and an important part of Shorewood’s history.
Over the years, the bowling alley has been used for physical education classes, high school athletics, community leagues and youth programs. Now, in a typical week, the lanes are used for physical education classes, after-school youth programming, birthday parties and community gatherings.
The bowling alley is one of the few located within a public school still in use, and it is a wonderful reflection of what makes Shorewood special: shared facilities, strong community connections and opportunities for people of all ages to participate.
While the bowling alley renovation is a major highlight this year, the Shorewood Foundation’s impact reaches far beyond this single project. Their generosity has supported a wide range of Recreation and Community Services programs, including Camp Shorewood, youth lacrosse, the First Ride and Bike Rodeo, the Summer Sounds concert series, and youth t-ball.
Programs like these would not be possible without the continued support of organizations like the Shorewood Foundation. Their commitment to the community helps the Recreation and Community Services Department continue creating opportunities for residents of all ages. n
The bowling alley at SHS is one of the only active bowling alleys in a public high school in the U.S.
Jamerson Named 2026 National Assistant Principal of the Year
Shorewood High School Associate Principal Amanda Jamerson was named the 2026 National High School Assistant Principal of the Year, an honor presented by the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP). Jamerson was one of three finalists chosen from among state winners. The award celebrates exceptional school leaders whose impact extends beyond their school buildings.
“Every day, we have the opportunity to live out Shorewood's promise through a shared commitment to students first and collaboration always,” says Jamerson. “For that I am both honored and humbled to be recognized." n
Students Write Winning Essays
The District was well-represented at the Wisconsin Society of Science Teachers (WSST) 2026 Writing Contest, with awards going to students from both the high school and intermediate school. The competition stresses critical thinking skills and understanding the scientific process and connects scientific understanding with persuasive writing skills. Shorewood students wrote essays in response to the contest's prompt: Scientists say the earth is in trouble. What is the biggest threat to our planet? What solutions would you propose?
Junior Ira Blackmore won the statewide writing contest with his essay, “The Thermohaline Crisis.” SIS eighth-grade student Margaret Ernst took first at the middle school level with her essay, “How Cattle Ranching Causes Global Warming,” and seventh-grader Eleanor Hegstrom-McLain placed second with her essay, “Rising Sea Levels.” More than 20 SIS students submitted essays, and four advanced to the state competition.
Tackling these essays reflects the aims of the District’s 2025-2030 strategic plan, which stresses that science education should equip every student with the critical thinking, scientific literacy, and inquiry skills they need to navigate a world increasingly shaped by scientific and technological change. n
Educators Honored
SHS English teacher Eric Gietzen was selected by the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) to join its ELA AI Framework Project. The project aims to create scalable frameworks and best practices for AI use in the classroom. Gietzen will attend the NCTE Convention later this year.
Additionally, SHS physical education teacher Sam Keller was honored by the Metropolitan Milwaukee Alliance of Black School Educators (MMABSE) at their 24th annual Recognition Gala. The MMABSE is a professional organization that represents teachers, administrators and other educators. n

A Science Toolkit for Every Student
BY CARRIE WETTSTEIN | PHOTO BY GINA SCHINDEL
Science is one of the most powerful ways we can bring our strategic plan to life.
Mike Joynt, director of Teaching and Learning
Areview of the District’s science curriculum was launched this year to ensure that it reflects students’ needs and the increasingly critical role of science knowledge and skills in education.
The work began with a faculty review of the Wisconsin Standards for Science and current District curriculum resources. The faculty interviewed staff and students to better understand needs and generate ideas for how to integrate multidisciplinary collaborations, engineering practices and technology applications into instruction.
Additionally, science faculty and staff are studying how to best deliver a student-centered approach to science education that lets students investigate real-world problems to make learning relevant and effective.
To do that, elementary students develop observational skills, ask testable questions, form simple hypotheses and follow scientific procedures. Middle school students learn the structure of a formal experiment, understand cause and effect by changing variables, and how to interpret data and form conclusions. High school students study how to apply the scientific method not just in science but all subjects and real-world scenarios, which prepares them for college-level research and career problem-solving.
The rapidly changing information landscape requires data competency as well, and students learn how to interpret graphs, analyze trends, break down problems and recognize statistical significance.
To meet the needs of the changing environment of scientific education, the SEED Foundation pledged important financial
support for the initiative, and its contributions will help pay for lab equipment and teaching resources.
Mike Joynt, director of Teaching and Learning, says that “Science is one of the most powerful ways we can bring our strategic plan to life. We want our science curriculum to be grounded in inquiry and engage students in real-world problem-solving opportunities.
“This curriculum work helps ensure our students will leave Shorewood with the competencies outlined in our student profile and prepares them for whatever future they choose.” n

Hi, Neighbor A Local Toxicologist with a Fondness for Fungus
BY JENNIFER ANDERSON | PHOTO BY PATRICK MANNING
Dr. Ryan Feldman is a Shorewood resident who wears many hats. There’s his husband and father of two toddlers hat. There’s the hat he wears as an emergency medicine pharmacist for Froedtert Health, the one he wears as an associate professor for the Medical College of Wisconsin School of Pharmacy and Division of Medical Toxicology, and there’s also his hat as a clinical toxicologist at Wisconsin’s only poison center.
He also has a mushroom hat, but more on that later.
In the hospital, Feldman assists other doctors in determining the best possible drug for each patient’s condition. He also consults on poisonings — both accidental and malicious — and has over a dozen years' experience handling rare and bizarre situations, like the time he had 20 vials of anti-venom rushed in from the Ohio zoo to treat a patient who had been bitten by a Blue Indonesian Pit Viper.
Feldman has also spent untold hours answering calls to the state’s poison hotline, calming parents whose children ate ant poisoning or helping callers who mistook their husband’s heart medication for a Tic Tac. “We spend a lot of time saying ’You ate what?!’” says Feldman. “And every day in the warmer months, we get calls from all over the state from people who have eaten wild mushrooms.”
Dr. Ryan Feldman used his expertise as a clinical toxicologist to pen a children’s book on mushrooms.
We spend a lot of time saying ’You ate what?!’
Mushrooms are one of Feldman’s big passions. “Because of Wisconsin’s many forested areas, the state is one of the most biodiverse in terms of mushrooms,” he says. “There are 150,000 known mushroom species, but only about 200-400 are poisonous. Despite that, there are forager deaths every year.”

Dr. Ryan Feldman on calls coming into the Wisconsin Poison Center hotline
“Amatoxin is the number one cause of mushroom poisoning deaths worldwide,” he says. “It’s sneaky because the symptoms don’t show up right away, but when they do, they can cause liver and kidney failure.”
Unlike other poisonous species of plants or venomous animals, mushrooms offer no warning signs, and many safe ones look nearly identical to those that are toxic, like the edible Smooth Parasol and its close twin, the aptly named Destroying Angel. “Don’t eat wild mushrooms without a positive identification by an expert,” warns Feldman.
Feldman is devoted to teaching the public about mushrooms through myriad of ways: a rhyming children’s book titled Poisonous Fungus Amongus (dedicated to his support-
“Most mushroom poisonings are treatable if we catch them early enough,” adds Feldman. “But often we don’t see patients until it’s two days too late and by then it’s a train wreck.”
Even the most sought-after mushrooms, like the prized morel, can be deadly if not cooked correctly, and the fungi are experiencing a burst of popularity on menus these days.
“Mushrooms are having a moment,” says Feldman. “And it’s important to have a healthy respect for them.”
The Wisconsin’s Poison Center’s hotline 1.800.222.1222 is staffed with experts to respond to questions or concerns any time of the day or night. n

Shark Tank Makes a Big Splash
BY JENNIFER ANDERSON | PHOTO BY ALEX WALZAK
It was standing room only at the Shorewood Foundation Shark Tank event in February, where the crowd at Camp Bar watched as nine presentations were made by their neighbors. The annual event, where locals pitch potential projects for the Foundation to fund, ultimately resulted in over $11,000 worth of grants for five winning ideas. Here are those winning projects:
and how to remove them. It also paid for signage to be placed in public native gardens such as the planters along Capitol Dr. These signs will alert passers-by that the gardens contain native plants that provide support for birds and pollinators.
We believe in having fun, motivating people and building a supportive community.
The Village of Shorewood Conservation Committee was awarded $2,300 to help educate residents on the importance of native plants and the dangers of invasive species. The grant paid for the insert in this magazine on invasive plants

The Shorewood Booster Club received a $2,500 grant aimed at increasing attendance at District sporting events through the identification of “superfans.” Supporters can win superfan t-shirts to wear to games, driving a greater sense of community and engagement as more people wear the shirts to athletic competitions.
Camp Bar hosted a packed house for this year’s Shorewood Foundation Shark Tank, where judges were entertained by nine community pitches.
Compost Crusader and the Shorewood Farmers Market were given $3,240 to provide composting services at the market, as well as a staffed table where residents can learn about how they can compost food scraps. Compost Crusader will supply two 64-gallon carts at the market, one for vendors to dispose of any organic waste they may have and one as a self-drop for residents.
Compassion Camp, a community-based summer camp held at the North Shore Presbyterian Church, received a Foundation grant of $2,000 to expand its programming. The camp provides a two-week non-religious day camp in August prior to the start of school. Aimed at students from K5 – fifth grade, campers are taught about compassion and how to practice it in daily life. It also features local “Compassion Heroes” who serve the community in exceptional ways.
Move More Yoga and Thrive Fitness were awarded $1,500 to host eight weeks of free yoga and strength training this summer at Shorewood’s lakefront. The grant will pay for instructors and some equipment, allowing anyone who wants to join to easily participate. “We believe in having fun, motivating people and building a supportive community that uplifts and inspires,” says Move More Yoga owner Kat Just. “We’re thrilled that the Foundation has chosen to fund a free activity that does just that.” n
The Gentlemen of Shorewood Will Be Parade Marshals
The Shorewood Foundation has named the fun-loving and ingeniously civic-minded Gentlemen of Shorewood as the marshals of this summer’s 4th of July parade. In selecting it, the Foundation Board of Directors cited the group’s efforts to build community and support local businesses and worthy charities.
The Gentlemen are the brains behind the New Year’s Day Polar Plunge, the Shorewood 12 Bike Race and last summer’s old timey 1900 Golf event, all of which have encouraged patronizing local businesses and raised funds for local nonprofits.
The Gents started as a group of Shorewood dads who liked to get together, said Matt Caton, one of the founders along with Vince Vogelsang, Jason Rosenberg, Miguel Salas and the late Derek Chappell. It expanded during the pandemic as they brainstormed ways to gather safely and serve the wider community.
“We like to say we’re a group of guys who decided to do stuff — and then we did stuff,” said Caton. “And we love doing it." n

SRC Gets New Home
Following some remodeling next year, the Shorewood Senior Resource Center will move down the hall into the former offices of the North Shore Health Department in the Village Center. “We’re thrilled that the SRC has received the green light from the Village Board to move forward with plans to renovate the former health department space into a welcoming hub for older adults — the Benjamin Center,” says Elizabeth Price, director of Senior Services.
The new space will bring SRC staff offices together and add dedicated programming space to expand opportunities for connection and engagement. Renovation of the offices are made possible thanks to the support of Bill Benjamin, who made a generous bequest to the SRC in 2002. n

Shorewood A Look Back
A Charming Corner for Over a Century
We continue our review of North Oakland Ave. over the years with a look at the Mediterranean-style building on the northwest corner of Oakland Ave. and Lake Bluff Blvd. It was constructed in 1922 by George Zagel and designed by Herbert Tullgren, who later designed the Art Deco bank building on the corner of Oakland Ave. and Capitol Dr. The building was intended to contain five to seven small businesses, depending on configuration.
Note in the 1922 construction picture that the road in front of the building appears to be in need of repair, just as it is today. Also note that most of the storefronts are still “for rent” except for a small Piggly Wiggly grocery store in the middle. Over the years, the building’s occupants have included Rajski’s Lake Bluff Pharmacy in 1932, Tabukar Garment Hangers in 1944, Jorgensen’s Candies in 1967 and Family Town Hobby Center in 1983, among many others.
The front of this charming building is once again slightly marred by orange cones and construction signage, but the shops are open for business and looking forward to the time when customers can once again stroll the sidewalk without dust and noise and enjoy this unique architecture. n
Built in 1922, the Mediterranean-style building has been home to dozens of businesses.
Today the building is home to North Shore Boulangerie, Oak + Linen, Zen the Salon, House of Engraving and the Shorewood Coin Shop.
