Who doesn’t love a parade? One of the biggest and best 4th of July parades in the area is the Wauwatosa one. Starting at 9 am at 104th & North, the parade only runs 2 miles east to 80th Street, but features over 100 participants! This year’s theme is Wauwatosa Salutes America.
Stop by Hart Park for games, animal rides, and live entertainment from 12:30-4:00. Free ice cream also, to all who participate in the decorated bikes, buggies, & wagons contest.
And what 4th of July would be complete without fireworks? Always also at Hart Park, scheduled to start at 9:15 pm this year. I hope you all have a wonderful, safe 4th of July. I also want to send out a huge THANK YOU to all the troops that keep America safe. We SO appreciate all you do for us!! God bless the USA!

You will be able to tour seven private gardens, plus the beautiful garden at the Kneeland-Walker House, the starting point of the tour, located on 74th and Hillcrest.
Master gardeners will be at the Kneeland-Walker garden, selling plants & garden related items, and answering your gardening questions. The homeowner/gardener and volunteers are available to answer your questions also at each of the 7 private gardens. This is the 2nd year I will be volunteering and I hope to see you on the tour.

If you are looking for a vibrant community in an extremely convenient location, you must look at East Town Tosa. Located at the far NE section of Wauwatosa, this neighborhood is bordered by 60th Street to the East, 76th Street to the West, North Avenue to the South, and Center Street to the North (except for those few blocks where Wauwatosa runs North of Center for a half block or so - 73rd St, 74th St, and 75th St.).
Residents love the walkability of the neighborhood. On any given day or night you will see people out walking, usually with a dog or a stroller or both! You can walk to City Hall and the library, conveniently located on 76th & North Avenue, plus you can
walk to schools, parks, and all the great shops and restaurants along North Avenue. Some of the best known restaurants are Il Mito, Ted’s, the Rosebud (a cinema drafthouse) and Cranky Al’s. Juniper 61 recently opened on the corner of 61st & North and is fast becoming a neighborhood favorite also.
Many of the homes in the neighborhood were built in the 1920’s and have lots of Old World Charm. You will find many bungalows, along with cape cods and colonials. Artificial fireplaces, built-in buffets or china cabinets, leaded glass, gleaming hardwood floors, coved ceilings and arched doorways are the norm. Here are interior pictures of a couple homes in the neighborhood that I have had the pleasure of selling.

Wauwatosa is a city of volunteers. One of my favorite volunteer groups is the Wauwatosa Beautification committee (WBC). This is a group dedicated to maintaining the beauty of our city by planting and maintaining shrubs & flower beds throughout the City of Wauwatosa. When budget cuts threatened to eliminate most of the beautiful flower beds in the medians and in the planters along North Avenue, the WBC stepped in. For the last few years I have helped by volunteering as a “gardening angel”, planting and maintaining the flower bed in the median in front of my office on 117th and North Avenue.
This organization is 100% volunteer staffed and funded, and depends upon the donations of individuals and corporations, such as Hawk’s Nursery.
The WBC also raises money through the annual Garden tour and this year is trying something new, a wine tasting. The first annual tasting with be held at Hawk’s Garden Center, 12217 Watertown Plank Rd, next Thursday, April 23rd, from 5:30-8:00 pm. For more information, along with locations to purchase advance tickets, please Click Here, or visit their web site:

One of Wauwatosa’s strengths is it’s neighborhoods. I am fortunate to live in the Olde Hillcrest neighborhood, an area just west of the Washington Highlands. The neighborhood runs from 68th Street west to 76th Street and from Milwaukee Avenue south to Lloyd (except for a little section west of 73rd Street, there the Olde Hillcrest northern boundry is Garfield Avenue).
The neighborhood has many assets, one of which is the Kneeland Walker house, which is pictured here. Owned by the Wauwatosa Historical Society, it is open for tours of groups of 10 or more, and is the site of the Olde Hillcrest neighborhood’s Christmas party, Easter egg hunt, and the neighborhood’s summer picnic.
The neighborhood association is very active and offers many chances for neighbors to get together and have some fun. In addition to the activities mentioned above, we also have an annual neighborhood rummage sale and numerous clubs. I belong to the dining out, restoration and wine clubs.
There is also a movie club, a book club, a senior’s club, a volunteer club, a helping hands club, and a walking club, along with a bunco group.
Please visit OHNA’s web site for even more information, www.OldeHillCrest.org.
Living in Olde Hillcrest you will never be lonely or bored!
