Tosans assemble—for a summer of blockbuster movies that are out of this world! With the mega success of both Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War, this summer’s success stories
will surely belong to superhero and action flicks once again.

Dennis McBride has left the building – in a manner of speaking. The Wauwatosa native son who for the past decade spent countless hours at city hall as 4th District alderman, ended his current term early. He offers insight into this and other aspects of Tosa life.

Public art has blossomed in Hart Park. Three metal sculptures of distinct shapes and themes now line the paved walkway along a portion of 19-acre Hart Park. Local leaders hope the first year of The Hartwork Project will not only be an aesthetic feast but also attract more people to enjoy what the city has to offer.

Wauwatosa east and west four years ago joined high schools from across the state in competitive shooting. Much like the formation of any high school athletic endeavor, the team now wants to grow so that it can be more successful in competition.

Tosa cares. These two simple words not only capture the spirit of our great city, they make up the name of the charity that has been putting that spirit into action for the past decade. Since 2008, Tosa Cares, Inc. has been providing food and assistance to families in need.

At a time when Wauwatosa residents deliberate the rate and type of development in their hometown, veteran and vice boutique studio owners continue to provide a service that attracts customers of all stripes. In part two of our fitness series, meet three small business owners with three different approaches to yoga and wellness.

Summer’s imminent onset may seem as if it is a fallacy this year given the weather we have had this spring. One sign of the coming warmth in Tosa will help assuage your doubts, the Tosa Tonight 2018 Concert Series.

The Wauwatosa Neighborhood Association Council (NAC) supports Tosa’s 30 local neighborhood associations with information, mentoring and training. Their mission is to create a stronger, safer and more vibrant community by helping neighbors connect to people, places and resources.

Warm weather has finally arrived and schools are closing for the summer. Make the most of your summer by enjoying all the outdoor activities, parks and fun events that make Tosa come alive.

I’m happy to share with you this edition of Tosa Connection. From our Summer Blockbuster Movie preview cover story to the spotlight on the terrific work that our volunteers do at Tosa Cares, I’m proud of the coverage we provide in this issue. Dig in!

MidTown Tosa, the premier destination in central Wauwatosa promoting service, wellness and a sense of community along North Avenue, is delighted to report the approval of its Strategic Master Plan. See all the details inside!

We have an exciting Summer of events to look forward to in the Village. Construction on the Pocket Park and Root Common areas is progressing on schedule and will be complete near the end of June. We plan to utilize the space right away with a new event series.
