Business Owner Sleeping in Store | Milwaukee News

A business owner on National Avenue has been sleeping in her store for a month, fearing crime and ongoing construction—she can’t afford insurance if something happens. The situation is worsened by dark, broken streetlights on S. 38th Street, which officials say are a consequence of the area’s rising crime. Other local business owners are also feeling the strain, struggling to stay open amid mounting safety fears. Alderperson and city officials are teaming up with police and construction crews to improve safety through a site walk-through, while repairs to the streetlights are expected by Friday—bringing hope for relief to the neighborhood.
