Maple & Main

Curt is Chicago native – but don’t hold that against him. After stops in Madison and California, he and his wife moved to Waukesha in 2004 to open their own downtown business.

New Neighbors

It became apparent again today that Downtown Waukesha is really changing.

While out walking the dog this morning, I noticed this through the trees.

 

 

It’s the Ogden Condo project- and this is the first, four-story unit. It will be situated along the Fox River near the west end of Main.

The development is said to occur in three phases, the first of which will include 11 units facing the river, and 10 row-houses facing St. Paul Avenue.

I am going to have a lot of new neighbors here soon.

However, I have a concern. Phase one of this project is being built on the property of the former Pic-a Bac bookstore, which has since been razed.

I heard rumor that the bookstore was haunted. Do ghosts relocate after their former homes are destroyed? Or do they sit dormant until the current construction is complete, and then return to haunt the new digs?

If the ghost returns, I think it's going to enjoy a substantial upgrade- from haunting the Pic-a-Bac store’s musty basement to haunting a sweet pad with marble countertops, 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a 2 car garage, in-unit laundry, ample living and dining space, and river views. 

 

What does a brand new, haunted condominium go for these days?

 

Check Ogden’s website for more information.
