A longtime Shorewood staple has bid adieu.
William Ho's, a restaurant which served Chinese fare at 3524 N. Oakland Ave. in Shorewood for over 30 years has closed.
After finding the restaurant's ordering platform down and the restaurant's phone number disconnected, we reached out to Steph Salvia, executive director for the Shorewood Business Improvement District.
She was able to confirm that, after persisting through many months of the COVID-19 pandemic, the owners recently decided to close the restaurant and retire.
The restaurant, long known for both the decorative facade on its building (which sports large sea creatures, including a lobster), its worn-yet-opulant decor and menu of Chinese staples, served up countless dishes to neighborhood residents and hungry UW-Milwaukee students over the course of three decades.
What fortune lies for someone new in the iconic restaurant space? Only time will tell.
In a bright note, Shorewood cats are now allowed outside ...
There has to be stats somewhere that lists closed businesses, bankruptcy’s, lost jobs, foreclosures, etc., due to the mismanagement of dictatorial Dem governors and mayors.
All that will be left of the US economy will be massive, state-supported companies who tow the fascist party line.

Does the White House need a new chef? Or have they already got a Ho there?
I’m looking for them.
I’ve been trying to find something on them with no luck.

Fauci says we need to continue the lockdown until fall. Who can wait that long?
He should have been fired a long time ago.
One year ago today:
After the Chinese city of Wuhan halted outbound flights, trains, buses and ferries in an effort to stop the spread of a deadly new virus, 12 other cities in the province followed suit, bringing more than 36 million people under lockdown.

Health officials in Chicago said a woman in her 60s had become the second U.S. patient diagnosed with the new virus; she’d returned from China in mid-January.

I was listening to Conservative morning AM radio in Chicago this morning and a guest talked about his group of resisters against the Illinois Governor’s lock down of Illinois restaurants. His group is ‘REBEL DINERS’.
Each week, more and more diners join his group and have dinners at restaurants that are struggling with all of the restrictions. 👍 🇺🇸 He is encouraging people to form similar groups nationwide.
ABOUT
REBEL DINERS
The Illinois Governor announced on October 20th, 2020 that a new round of stronger restrictions going into place that Friday. All six counties surrounding Chicago will not allow indoor dining.
Immediately a number of restaurants took to social media saying they can’t afford to do that and will defy the order.
That Friday Chuck, Matt and Tom met at a pizza place defying the order and discussed a way forward. “If these independent small businesses will defy the order for their livelihood, then we too must defy and support them”, and Rebel Diners was born. That weekend they began to reach out to their network and scheduled the 1st Rebel Diner lunch at one of the 1st restaurants to come out in defiance that following Tuesday.
12 diners joined together for a delicious meal and toasted the owner and his son. The owner was in tears thanking the Rebel Diners for their support. In addition, the diners left a tip for the server in excess of $400, and he too so humbly and graciously thanked each diner for their support.
The following week 21 Rebel Diners descended upon an establishment and positively impacted the owner and their staff.
The Rebel Diners have grown to 48 participants and continue weekly missions to help support the small business restaurateur.
