Journal Sentinel reporter Guy Boulton What I saw was a community that had the potential to tell its own stories The Greentree-Teutonia Community Learning Center reminded me of community centers that I attended as a child growing up in the 1970s in northeast Washington My Greentree was Benning Stoddert Recreation Center It was less than a mile from our apartment but it still required a ride from my mother It was a safe place where children could learn and explore a wide range of arts and crafts Benning was where my love of photography began The class was taught by a man whom I only knew as Bubba His constant encouragement and smile made me want to photograph everything around me I was seated behind a toddler in a furry hoodie I spent 15 months capturing life at Greentree a low-income housing complex that sits on 14 acres on Milwaukee's north side and is home to more than 700 residents I was assisted by Marquette students Isabel Bonebrake and Megan Woolard I’ve had the privilege of gathering stories of heartache and triumph from a community that is often overlooked and misunderstood I spent time at Greentree nearly every day What people don't realize is that as a photographer You have to be in the moment when life really unfolds I wanted to capture life as it happened — nothing fancy about it Throughout the project I kept a journal to chronicle important moments I've shared a number of the passages in the stories but I wrote things down when there was something that moved me They allowed me to tell their stories and were open and honest Greentree brought me back

care building an expensive car space for every new unit isn’t the future There is a 7 story 5 over 1 going up next to the Lynbrook train station but the first two floors are a parking garage holding 200 spots 1 parking spot per home is a shift in the right direction for Younkers where most families already have more than 1 car Transit there still isn’t to the level necessary for most families to live comfortably car-free hopefully this developer is looking to the future and building a garage that is capable of being repurposed if parking demand decreases And the richer get richer & the poorly get more poorly but these apartments are a big step forward for Yonkers Glad to see the city take advantage of its transit-connections ga('send', 'event', 'beautyofblock', 'Impression',

(Cover photo credit: Churchill Downs/Coady Media) Trump denies plan to stay in office after current term expires.. Trending Westchester problems with the gas station at the corner of North Teutonia and West Roosevelt streets began decades ago when ownership changed hands to someone outside the community It was sometime after that when the staff gradually became rude to customers, she and other residents have said. Panhandlers and drug dealers were allowed to loiter outside the doors. Inside, shelves were stocked with expensive options, few of them healthy It was sometime later she learned that gunshot killed her son Law enforcement said the trigger was pulled by a worker at the station the incident has stirred up Milwaukee’s Garden Homes neighborhood and the gas station has not reopened More than 20 members of the public spoke at a September hearing urging officials to pull the business’ license Easter Allen and her family have camped outside the gas station collecting more than 4,000 signatures to shutter the business The full Common Council is expected to revoke the license at its Tuesday meeting The incident has exposed a dynamic common in urban America and Milwaukee specifically a product of racial segregation and the neglect of communities of color a professor of history and urban studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee In the fight to close Teutonia Gas and Food residents have vented frustrations over convenience stores in their neighborhoods who they say are only there to make money without thinking about the communities they serve “Our lives are not valued at all in the community that we spend our money (in),” Easter Allen said at the September meeting We make it able for them to have a living off of us It was just this past April when owner Gurinder Nagra needed to renew his licenses for Teutonia Gas and Food safety was the main concern for Common Council members on the Licenses Committee who were evaluating his application The property had been designated by the Milwaukee Police Department as a nuisance after a shooting and an armed robbery there the previous February and November It was the latest in a string of incidents since 2021: another shooting two reports of armed robbery and three reports of battery one of which involved store employees assaulting a coworker accused of stealing The nuisance designation only required the business to draft a plan that would prevent problems from recurring during a 45-day monitoring period the business would have to pay for any police responses to the property The plan Nagra drafted didn't include having a security guard Nagra said the gas station would be staffed with a uniformed security guard stationed in a vehicle even though that wasn't reflected in the written plan of operations he submitted for his license renewal with council members making it clear they expected security to be present during all hours of operation emphasized that Nagra needed to avoid incidents involving guns “We have got to be better as a community,” he said “What’s going on in our community with firearms is outrageous It’s imperative that all of us do our parts.” there was no security guard fitting the description Nagra provided He would say later he wasn’t even sure if there was signage that prohibited guns on the property had been going to the gas station for years A clerk there used to call him “Buddy,” according to Allen’s uncle “Everybody in the neighborhood was cool with Isaiah,” he said Family described him as a jokester and a considerate person said she had her first set of twins when she was 16 and one of them came home on a breathing monitor She still had to go to school but couldn’t sleep out of fear her son would stop breathing in the night Even though Isaiah Allen had school himself Isaiah Allen was preparing to leave Milwaukee for Kentucky to receive help for mental health issues His sister said he made the decision to better provide for his own children grabbed a box of snack cakes and left with it Paris Allen said everyone who worked there knew her brother and knew his mother had a tab open at the store The business could have added the expense to that account Instead, 56-year-old William Pinkin, who appeared to be acting as security, rose from a chair, followed Allen from behind and shot him in the head, according to the criminal complaint at another meeting with the city’s Licenses Committee about revoking the gas station’s permits Nagra admitted he never performed a background check before hiring Pinkin he would have known Pinkin was convicted of first-degree reckless homicide in 1989 after he shot a store clerk in the head during a robbery Nagra said he hired Pinkin as an independent contractor in the summer denied Pinkin was to act as armed security He said Pinkin’s duties were to clean and “monitor outside.” who said they understood him to be security “He was very erratic,” said Monashay Howard who ran a food stand outside the gas station and said she once had a physical altercation with Pinkin who declined an interview request through his attorney for this story lives in Franklin and owns five gas stations in Milwaukee residents spoke in support of removing the business’ license arguing Nagra’s negligence and lack of consideration for residents made him “the poster child for people outside of our community who do business with people in our community.” Several said they were tired of convenience stores operating that way “These stores are a detriment to our community,” resident Vincent Toney said “We need to consider the people in the community first and not the businesses.” the professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee said that kind of tension is a product of racial segregation and neglected He explained residents of such neighborhoods often lack the capital to establish businesses themselves Big chain grocery stores don’t want to move in so entrepreneurs who are frequently immigrants lacking a financial cushion start a business “just to survive.” Conflict develops over time because the business owners don’t know the history of America’s racial politics, Sen said, and community members know nothing about the owners. The stores charge high prices for unhealthy products because fresh foods have a shorter shelf life “(They) are coming in as a buffer between the state or the city who have pretty much given up on these neighborhoods,” Sen said “The neighborhoods themselves are trying but there are a lot of problems they have to deal with.” Nagra’s attorney defended his client by touching on segregation and “socioeconomic factors” that impact his business The committee voted unanimously to recommend the Common Council revoke the license who in April warned Nagra about guns at the business said he preferred to “bulldoze” the property It matched the sentiments of Allen’s family who have said they don’t want anyone making money there again The revocation hearing lasted more than three hours and at no point did Nagra or his attorney lay out a plan to improve the business’ operations who has been on the Licenses Committee since 2008 There are obviously businesses in Milwaukee "who get it right" and serve their community well who come prepared with proposed changes to prevent future problems “I think all business owners should know that It is about the lives of the people you serve.” Contact Elliot Hughes at elliot.hughes@jrn.com or 414-704-8958.
