Welcome to WauwatosaNow.com This Web site combines the efforts of the Journal Sentinel and Community Newspapers newsrooms to bring you the latest news and information about Wauwatosa. But mostly, we want this Web site to be about you - the people who live in Wauwatosa. Right now, this is a "Beta" Web site, which means we're still developing it, seeing what works and what doesn't, getting out into the community to find out what you'd like it to be. In time, we plan to introduce an area of the Web site for you to post your own stories, calendar events, celebrations, photos, opinions, and more about Wauwatosa. We want it to become a gathering place online for you and your neighbors. Even in "Beta," though, we hope we've got plenty to offer you. Here's what: NEWS "CommunityWatch" is an extension of JSOnline's NewsWatch. In it, we'll bring you a quick take on the latest news and information just about Wauwatosa - from what's happening in government and the schools, to new businesses and developments coming to town, to the daily buzz of such things as traffic, crime, and big news about your neighbors. We want "CommunityWatch" to be really current, so if you know of some news in Wauwatosa please let us know. In addition, we'll provide an archive of news stories about Wauwatosa that have appeared in either the Wauwatosa News-Times or the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. And we'll post weekly police blotters and home sale prices. THE BASICS Check out the Community Guide for the staples of information about Wauwatosa. You'll find names and phone numbers of elected officials, lots of school information, population and demographic trends, links to area organizations and businesses, restaurant reviews, and much more. Frankly, there's so much about a community that residents may want to know that we surely don't have it all. So, again, let us know if you have any ideas. YOUR PHOTOS This is only the beginning, as we mentioned, of what we hope is a gathering place for the community. Right now, go ahead and post your photos - the ones that show us and everyone else who you are and what you care about. As long as they don't cross the line - and you'll probably know if they do - we'll post them. CALENDARS Garden tours, pancake breakfasts, art exhibits, charity walks and runs, candidate forums - this is the place to find out what events are happening in Wauwatosa. Soon, we'll open it up to allow you to post your group's calendar events. BUSINESS LISTINGS AND CLASSIFIEDS This is another area that we want to develop over time to bring you business listings and classified advertising with a distinctly local flavor. *** We know that to make this Web site a place people want to visit regularly, we'll need your help. So, Wauwatosa, we want to hear from you. Call NOW editor Mark Maley at (262) 446-6630 or use our "Got a Tip" form to let us know what's happening and what you think. |

Spring is here and that means garage sale season is in full swing. Wauwatosa NOW
reporter Janice Kayser and photojournalist Mary Catanese took a recent spin around
town to see what treasures they could find.
An estimated 3,000 children, parents and school staff members were at the
Milwaukee County Zoo on May 10 to take part in the Education Foundation of Wauwatosa's
annual Walk/Run. WauwatosaNOW.com, a sponsor of the event, was there and captured images
of some the festivities.
Wauwatosa East High School was the stage of a battle of the bands competition
called Launchpad, in which 16 bands from area high school competed.
After more than six hours of music, three bands walked away with top honors
in the regional competition and advance to the state contest in Madison.
The sports season is in full swing at Wauwatosa East and West high schools and, if you're a prep sports fan, we've got you covered. Track, soccer and more … this is your place for expanded coverage
of the Tosa prep sports scene.
