Hip, funky Mojofuco Restaurants would open its first suburban location, a second BelAir Cantina, at 68th and North with assistance of CDBG funds.
One of Milwaukee’s hottest, hippest restaurant groups wants to come to a key location on North Avenue, in what would be its first foray into any suburb — but it needs help from the city to make it work. Mojofuco Restaurants, owners of the Hi-Hat Lounge, The Garage, Fuel Café, Balzac, Palomino and BelAir Cantina, would like to open a second BelAir on the southwest corner of West North Avenue and North 68th Street. “We’re optimistic that we can put this project together,” said Kristian Sydow, vice president of Grubb & Ellis Apex Commercial in Brookfield, who is the commercial real estate broker for the group. “But that’s dependent on some public financing assistance.” Mojofuco owners Kristin St. Dennis, Leslie Montemurro and Scott Johnson …

City seeks public comment on $82 million plan.
A vision to redevelop Wauwatosa’s village center outlines short- and long-term projects that combined could total nearly $82 million in public and private investment.
