When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade - and that’s precisely what the businesses along Milwaukee Avenue are doing in the face of the ongoing construction. Rather than dwell on the challenges, we’ve chosen to embrace a spirit of resilience and community, partnering together to host a “Lemonade Sip & Shop” on July 27th from 11am - 6pm.
Each participating business will be offering their own unique twist on the classic summertime drink, whether it’s a tart and tangy traditional recipe, a sweet little snack, or a cocktail version. You’ll be able to pick up a map at Pixie and the Boy, Vintage Frills or Sipping Turtle Cafe to see all who are included!
But the Lemonade Walk is about more than just quenching thirst - it’s an opportunity to foster community spirit, bringing neighbors together to embrace the challenges head-on and find the sweetness in even the sourest of situations. By transforming a construction zone into a lively, promenade (spoiler alert - @environmentalencroachment will be parading the blocks beginning at 2pm) we’re ensuring that the disruption doesn’t dampen energy, but rather galvanizes it, reminding everyone that with a little creativity and collaboration, you can always make lemonade out of lemons. 🍋
