Regent Street, the bustling but worn corridor between Camp Randall and the Kohl Center, may get a face-lift, more shops, tall buildings and a parking garage.

After nearly a year's effort, a special committee is nearly done with first-ever streetscape and design guidelines for the Regent street corridor and neighborhood to the north, a 160-acre mishmash of small shops, chain stores, houses, offices and surface parking lots.  read more »

Just recently Kipps Down Home Cookin’ located at 1614 Monroe street has been experiencing some vandalism. This favorite eating place for many, appears to have been targeted but they can’t seem to get any attention from our local media.

This is another large nearby condominium project in the planning stages, with retail and offices planned for its first two floors. It would replace the building on the South corner of Regent and Monroe Street that has recently housed Urban Pizza, a Badger paraphernalia shop, and The Grid. Mickie’s Dairy Bar building and shops to the south would remain. It is located in the Vilas Neighborhood, but adjacent to DMNA and Regent, so all three neighborhoods have been involved in the discussions.  read more »
