A special thank you to Muneer Bahauddeen, Al Patterson and Family, Ammar Nsoroma, Amaranth Bakery, OnFyah's drummers and dancers, and other friends and family for bringing a food for everyone.
Fete Ghede is the Haitian Vodou Celebration honoring death, life & rebirth that corresponds to All Saints Day. It is a time to acknowledge the Ancestors through feasts and festivities.
Red Bike & Green-Milwaukee ended its season paying tribute to those who have gone before, those yet living, and those yet to be born. They rode throughout the neighborhood visiting memorials and paying tribute with bundles of flowers.
This event was sponsored by the Washington Park Partners Arts & Cultures Committee & the Washington Park NID and hosted by Red Bike & Green-Milwaukee.

Just a glimpse of the first hour of Washington Park's BIG 125th birthday!!! We saw neighbors from all sides of the park and citywide give it huge wraparound support. 300-500 people strong; all in one night of fun. All for community.
This cat has been stuck on the balcony for what neighbors claim to be about five days. Unsure of what to do, no one had called it in. Thanks to Milwaukee Police District Three PO Dolan for finding a ladder and taking it down and for MADACC for showing up on the spot to pick up. Great things will happen during Washington Park Neighborhood Aldermanic Walks. First one for the year. Certainly not the last.

When was the last time you can remember a full line of produce available in walking distance? Here's an exclusive 5 second preview of a new 4500 sq ft Washington Park Neighborhood grocery store "Boulevard Commons Supermarket" Operator/owner Salas says, "I've been in this business since 1985. I'm interested in serving all the moms with a broad range of services including fresh produce and meats. This is not the place to get alcohol and beer. I won't do that. I also won't do single sales cigarettes or swisher sweets." Salas anticipates to open shop 7 days a week from 8am-8pm for the neighborhood by the end of this first quarter.
