Steve Peters has just about everything he needs to publish and print a 160-page history photo book depicting Greendale’s 75-year history.

Co-owner Jim Birmingham, who is now managing the shop, says there is no intention to close the popular cafe.
Broad Street Coffee Company co-owner Jim Birmingham insists a short item in the shop’s May electronic newsletter is not a precursor to something more drastic happening down the road. The newsletter says Birmingham, also a Village Trustee, is now managing the shop. Birmingham told Greendale Patch late last week that is all that is happening. “We did do some reorganizational things,” Birmingham said. “My manager, who has been with me for a long time, that position has been eliminated. It was just some internal changes. "We have no intention of closing. We plan on being around. We’re excited to be here this summer with all the changes coming to downtown and the birthday celebration.” In 2006, Birmingham and Dave Houston purchased the coffee …

After filing chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, Reader's Digest Association might have found a buyer for their building located at 5400 South 60th St.
While no final decisions have been made, Goodwill Industries may be looking at buying the Reader's Digest Association (RDA) building, which is located at 5400 S. 60th St., according to a story in the Journal Sentinel. The parent company of Reader's Digest filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in February for the second time in less than four years, according to the Associated Press. RDA Holding Co. says it will keep publishing the magazine during the bankruptcy and aims to be out of Chapter 11 within six months. The New York company said it needs to cut its debt so it can keep restructuring. RDA owns the former Reiman Publications in Greendale and announced at the end of 2011 it was cutting 30 employees there, leaving the location …

The stretch from 51st Street just north of Greendale nearly to 27th Street is slated for improvements in 2020, or earlier.
While City of Greenfield officials lobby the county to reconstruct a section of Layton Avenue sooner rather than later, another state-owned highway is getting a preliminary look by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. A 2.6-mile segment of Loomis Road, or WIS 36, from just north of Greendale at South 51st Street to West Fardale Avenue in Milwaukee is in the preliminary design phase for reconstruction, according to WisDot. Pavement and curb and gutters will be replaced and missing sidewalks will be added on both sides of the roadway. Intersection improvements would include lengthening turn lanes and traffic signal upgrades designed to improve traffic flow. In addition, the current parking lane is expected to be converted to a bicycle…
Attention online shoppers: You might have to pony up more cash for those online shopping sprees, if federal sales tax legislation becomes law.
Online shoppers, who enjoyed avoiding paying sales tax for their out-of-state purchases, probably won't be happy if a bill pending in Congress becomes law. The Marketplace Fairness Act, which passed 69-27 in the U.S. Senate on Tuesday, allows states the authority, and option, of collecting taxes on Internet and catalog sales. The act does not create a new tax. But it does allow states the option of collecting the taxes, which they are already owed. However, the legislation does exempt small businesses that make less than $1 million from collecting the tax. U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) voted for the bill, but Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) did not. “Today, I joined a bipartisan majority of the U.S. Senate in support of the Marketplace Fairness …

Broad Street has been an anchor for Greendale and now it's seeing an economic rebirth over the last few years, according to a story in the Journal Sentinel.
A chapter in Greendale's economic rebirth would be incomplete if you didn't include Broad Street and more specifically the Greendale Village Center, according to a story in the Journal Sentinel. The story highlights the work of Roy Reiman, who sold the Greendale-based company in 1998. But then turned his attention to real estate and started building up the Village Center, which he had purchased in 1996. Reiman's Grandhaven LLC has been able to bring a number of businesses including Ferch's Malt Shoppe & Grille, They Grow Like Weeds and the Panther Pub. Read more about Greendale's Broad St. is broadening its appeal in the Journal Sentinel.
