Janet, a Town of Brookfield resident, has lived in the Elmbrook area for nearly 40 years and is an avid gardener and volunteer. Her blog focuses on the city and town of Brookfield – past, present and future.
I asked some people what they liked best about Brookfield. 99% hesitated. A common retort was, ‘ask what we don’t like’. So I did.
Although this was a non-scientific poll, traffic on North Avenue, Calhoun and Bluemound Roads topped the list of things liked the least. It seems many people have difficulty getting out of their subdivisions onto the highways.
So on to what they liked best in Brookfield or what attracted them to Brookfield...
Proximity to family, feeling safe, convenience of shops / stores, the school system and the farmer’s market were among their choices. Another person chose the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center.
The Wilson Center offers fine entertainment nearly year-round. Parking is free. There’s no need to drive downtown.
If you haven’t been there, the Wilson Center is located on Mitchell Park Drive (between Barker and Brookfield Roads) just south of Capitol Drive. See what you’re missing at www.wilson-center.com.
