This Just In ...

Kevin Fischer is a veteran broadcaster, the recipient of over 150 major journalism awards from the Milwaukee Press Club, the Wisconsin Associated Press, the Northwest Broadcast News Association, the Wisconsin Bar Association, and others. He has been seen and heard on Milwaukee TV and radio stations for over three decades. A longtime aide to state Senate Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature, Kevin can be seen offering his views on the news on the public affairs program, "InterCHANGE," on Milwaukee Public Television Channel 10, and heard filling in on Newstalk 1130 WISN. He lives with his wife, Jennifer, and their lovely baby daughter, Kyla Audrey, in Franklin.

How about a Fountains of Franklin update?


The most magnanimous economic development project in the history of SE Wisconsin!…….ummmm, Milwaukee County!……….uhhh, Franklin!……..hmmm, Rawson Avenue!……………..The Fountains of Franklin, after months and months and months and months and months and months of……..some activity have exuberantly announced that the site will have:

1) A DQ Chill and Grill. Or is it a DQ Grill and Chill? Anyway, cue the studio audience;

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh!

2) An Azana Spa and Salon.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Yeh, yeh, yeh, super, that’s all fine and swell.

Now, is it too much to ask when the groundbreaking will actually be for these, AHEM, projects that all of Franklin is on pins and needles anxiously awaiting?

Or do we have to wait months and months and months and months for that, too?

And if you’re keeping score at home, fans:

UPDATE ON 6/1 @ 10:00 PM:

Let's not forget CVS Pharmacy, Serenity Tan and Snap Fitness. Are they going to open, and if so, on schedule?

Late last month, Greg Kowalski reported that discussion at a Common Council meeting was that the development was not headed in an upscale direction and certain permits were denied. So again, what in the world is going on there, if anything, and how long will it be before something substantial starts operating?
