The Third Ward is one of Milwaukee's fasting evolving neighborhoods, so much so that sometimes it's hard to keep up with who's moving in, who's opening up and who's doing what.

In addition to Jing's, the new Chinese restaurant in the Marshall Building at 207 E. Buffalo St., there's a lot going on. Here's a short list of some of the latest Third Ward haps.

Jamie Wilke Interiors, the upscale interior design and furnishings shop with a signature location at 803 Genesee St. in Delafield, is scheduled for a soft opening at 311 E. Chicago St. on Monday, Oct. 15 with a grand opening on Friday, Oct. 26.

Fanatics Sports Central, a new sports bar at 185 N. Jefferson St., is now open just in time for prime Packers watching. Apparently, it's a sports fan's dream, with plasma screens galore -- including individual screens at private booths -- stadium seating, a game room, and an X-Box tournament room. Go team.

Hinterland Erie Street Gastropub, an upscale brewpub at 222 E. Erie St., has its sights set on the '70s. Since opening in late August, the brewpub has dedicated its back lounge to spinning '70s vinyl all night long. Dig it. Have you been to Hinterland in Green Bay? Similar to it original location, the Third Ward spot features a menu loaded with fresh ocean fish, shell fish, sushi, wild game and Kobe beef, and, of course, handcrafted beer and a world-wide wine selection.
