On Sunday October 2, Ross Bigley left the Brady Street Pharmacy at 7:30 pm. He had already walked halfway across Brady Street and was waiting for the westbound motorist to stop to let him cross the rest of the way when he was hit from behind by an eastbound motorist. The blow knocked him to the ground, and the rear tire of the vehicle drove over his ankle, breaking it in two places. The driver did not stop. The following day, a boy on a bicycle was struck by a motorist at the same intersection. This is the same corner where Mary Glorioso was killed a year and a half ago.

When Annette French, owner of Dragonfly (1117 E. Brady St.), and her niece Jessica St. John heard stories of abandoned and starving animals in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, they were determined to do something to help. They are both animal lovers, and Annette had animal rescue work experience from her work at the Humane Society. “The HSUS (Humane Society of the United States) was on TV asking for volunteers. They were in need of people with training that I had, so I pretty much had to go,” Annette reasoned.

The East Side of Milwaukee is home to ethnic grocers and delis that are among the best in the city. Depending on your taste and mood, you can find a number of specialties within a few blocks of Brady Street that you can take home and make yourself or have made for you at the deli counter.

Mazen Muna had already been paying rent at 1433 East Brady Street for a couple months before he knew what kind of restaurant he wanted to open. What he did know was how important location is to the success of a new business.

Because of cutbacks to city budgets, many of the trees on Brady Street go unwatered by anybody but Mother Nature. Therefore it’s vitally important that storeowners take care of the trees in front of their businesses.
