Secrets, secrets, are no fun ... that's why the rumor patrol at OMC is here to straighten out some of the gossip about a bunch of Milwaukee's newest business happenings.
True: Milwaukee Public Market official opening day appears to be set for July 15. There will be exclusive shopping previews, cooking demonstrations, live music and activities scheduled for July 13-17.
True: Bosley on Brady, 815 E. Brady St., is now open. Replacing the sushi of Konohana, the new restaurant features American cuisine with a Key West twist. It's open until 10 p.m. on weekdays, 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and is closed on Sundays.
False: Passporte, a bar/restaurant featuring international food and drinks, is not opening at 525 E. Menomonee, as had been promised for months. Rather, a new Italian restaurant will open in its Third Ward spot.
True: Luckystar Studio is moving, but not very far. Milwaukee's home of the avant-garde, is moving to the lobby level of the Marshall building, 207 E. Buffalo Ave., the very same building that has housed the group for the past three years. Grand Re-Opening party is scheduled for Friday, June 3, 6-10 p.m. As part of the event, Luckystar will host the Luxury Rehab Launch Party, featuring one-of-a-kind clothing, T-shirts, and accessories by a new Milwaukee fashion label, Luxury Rehab.
True: Rock Steady, a new barbershop at 1743 N. Martin Luther King Dr. opened its doors on Monday, May 16. Owner Aaron Blathers says his shop offers a new line of hair styles in a comfortable, pleasant atmosphere.
True: The new VP Gallery, devoted exclusively to the art of photography, is now open at 320 E. Buffalo St.
True: Clara's New Bronzeville Cafe and Coffee Shop is opening soon at the former Bean Head location, 1839 N. Martin Luther King Dr.
True: Earth & Water, 240 N. Milwaukee St., has closed and a business called Pieces: the Dialogue of Design, is opening in its place. It has the same owner, just a different focus. Pieces features retail décor, contemporary furniture and eclectic pieces for the home.
True: The Grand Gourmet, 151 N. Water St., is now closed, and Urban Kitchenware has taken its place.
False: The Grand Gourmet in Brookfield is not affiliated with the former Third Ward business. The Bluemound Road location in Brookfield is independently owned, but features many of the same products and services.
True: The Third Ward's newest yoga facility, Yama Yoga in the Ward, opened on May 9 at 231 E. Buffalo St.
True: Word on the street is that new custard and burger joint, similar in style and size to Bella's Fat Cat, is scouting locations in the Third Ward.

Former Milwaukeean said: DG – Norquist vacated his position because A) he didn’t want to run again, B) he had a very public affair with a woman that wasn’t his wife and wanted to escape that debacle and most importantly, C) because he was offered a job by the Congress for new Urbanisim. Norquist was far too advanced for this city. His ideas, including tearing the Park East freeway down was inspired his vision and his belief that a city thrives when it gives something back to it’s citizens. It although thrives when it builds mixed use neighbourhoods. Downtown Milwaukee is so underdeveloped when it comes to retail it’s not even funny. I live very close to downtown and I welcome each new store at the Grand Avenue and I try to shop there as often as I can. I agree that Chicago OBVIOUSLY offers more of a shopping experience but my point was that downtown Milwaukee COULD have an equally nice shopping experience if more effort was put into getting better shops downtown. Downtown is and should be the centerpiece of a city. It’s where the cool stores should be with additional outlets spread throughout the city. Chicago, New York, Minneapolis and the list goes on of cities that understand that having a mixed-use downtown makes for a much more vibrant city. Milwaukee is almost there, I hope they don’t lose momentum!

DG said: I'll pay $20 for shopping in downtown Milwaukee if I went there and got as much for my money (store/cultural attractions/variety) as I did for that in Chicago. As for talking to the Mayor(remember, our EX vacated Miwlaukee to head to greener workspace in Chicago)! It's also the STORES that don't WANT to move here. The city of Milwaukee offered Marshall Fields MILLIONS to stay and rehab the building a few years back...but Fields must have thought it was a loosing cause/cause they didn't think they could make it in downtown Milwaukee, even WITH the handout, and closed the store.

Harry said: Nah, I'm pretty sure that's a rumor. IKEA had talked about moving out there but those two stores won't be located out there. If you really wanted to know, you could contact Mid-America, they are in charge of the retail leasing for the project.

QueenB said: So I just heard that a Nordstrom and Saks 5th Ave. are going into the Pabst Farms in Oconomowoc. Anyone else know anything about this? I find the idea kind of far fetched.
