SHOPPING
If you like to combine shopping with sight seeing, then make
the short drive to Waukesha, Wisconsin and the Genesee Woolen
Mill, S40 W28178 Hwy. 59, call for tour information, 262-521-2121.
Here you'll see how the wool that keeps a sheep warm is turned
into wonderful hand-tie comforters and spinning yarns. They also
offer other wool products and spinning supplies.
You'll find more neat shopping in historical settings as you
head to the Cedar Creek Settlement, N70 W6340 Bridge Rd., Cedarburg,
WI, 262-377-8020; East Town, downtown Milwaukee east of the river,
414-271-1416; the Historic Third Ward, 219 N Milwaukee St., 414-
273-1173; Old World Third Street, between W Wells and Juneau
Ave, and Stonewood Village, 17700 W Capitol Dr., Brookfield,
WI, 262-781-9703.
While in town, you'll also want to wander down the Grand Avenue,
275 W Wisconsin Ave, covering four blocks in downtown, 414-224-9720,
where you'll find 120+ specialty stores, and 15 eateries and
restaurants to revive you if your tummy starts growling.
If you'd rather do your browsing in a mall setting, you'll
enjoy strolling through the Bay Shore Mall, 5900 N Port Washington
Rd., 414-963-8780; Brookfield Square Shopping Center, 95 N Moorland
Rd, Brookfield, WI, 262-797-7245; the Northridge Shopping Center,
7700 W Brown Deer Rd., 414- 354-1804; and the area's largest--Southridge
Mall, 5300 S 76th St., Greendale, WI, 414-421-1102.
Outlet mall shoppers can also have a ball in the Milwaukee
area. You'll find bargains at the Original Outlet Centre, 7700-120th
Ave, Kenosha, WI, 262-857-7961, with 100+ stores; the Lakeside
Marketplace Outlet, 11211-120th Ave, Kenosha, WI, 800-969-3767,
with 75+ designer stores; and the Gurnee Mills Outlet Mall, I-94
and Rte. 132, Gurnee, IL, 800-YES-SHOP, which bills itself as
the "World's Largest Outlet Mall" with nearly 2 miles
of great places to shop.
If you've been looking for a fine leather briefcase, portfolio,
handbag, or piece of luggage, you'll want to drop by the Mitchell
Leather Goods Outlet, 226 N Water St., 414-272-5942. Since they
manufacture most of the good right here in their factory, they
can afford to offer them direct at 30 to 60% off regular retail
price.
Always wanted a little something from Germany without the
hassle of going over seas? Then visit German Glass & Gift
Imports, W200 N10290 Lannon Rd., Germantown, WI, 262-253-0226.
As you wander through their 4,000 square foot store, you'll be
enchanted by the Hummels, and beautiful pewter, crystal, beer
steins, Christmas ornaments, cuckoo clocks, and nutcrackers direct
from Germany.
If you just need some goodies to fill up your fridge and pantry,
you'll want to grab your shopping list and head to Kohl's Food
Stores, 8340 W Appleton Ave, 414-463-2905; or Open Pantry Food
Marts, 8530 W Greenfield Ave, 414-774-1030. Or to head to a local
market, stop by the Milwaukee
Public Market, 400 N Water St, 414-289-3108, where you'll
find not only area foods at shops like Kehr's Candies, Cedarburg
Coffee Roastery, and West Allis Cheese & Sausage Shoppe but
also artisan and ethnic products. And during the summer months
they also feature locally grown produce and artist creations
available at their outdoor market from 8:00am-2:00pm on Saturdays.
