In case you haven’t walked or driven down Downer Avenue in the past few days, I’m here to tell you that a bit of legendary East Side design has returned to the city in the form of the well recognized, if not finely designed, Pizza Man sign.
Say what you will about its shape, but this thing is (warning here comes a massively overused word) an iconic Milwaukee sign.
Pizza Man’s development is coming along nicely. Mid-to-late July is the new target grand reopening range. You can follow it on Facebook.

Early in his career, Sherman was one of youngest members of the Greater Milwaukee Committee, and currently is involved in numerous civic and community groups - including board positions at The Wisconsin Center District, Wisconsin Club and Marcus Center for the Performing Arts.

He also thinks you should read OnMilwaukee each and every day.
