Welcome to BrownDeerNOW This Web site combines the efforts of Community Newspapers and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel newsrooms to bring you the latest news and information about Brown Deer. But mostly, we want this Web site to be about you - the people who live in the community. We want it to become a gathering place online for you and your neighbors. Right now, this is a "Beta" Web site, which means we're still developing it, seeing what works and what doesn't, getting out into the community to find out what you'd like it to be. Even in "Beta," though, we still have plenty to offer you. Here's what: NEWS "CommunityWatch" is an extension of JSOnline's NewsWatch. In it, we'll bring you a quick take on the latest news and information just about Brown Deer - from what's happening in government and the schools, to new businesses and developments coming to town, to the daily buzz of such things as traffic, crime, and big news about your neighbors. We want "CommunityWatch" to be really current, so if you know of some news in Brown Deer, please let us know. In addition, we'll provide an archive of news, sports and feature stories about Brown Deer that have appeared in the Community Newspapers and the Journal Sentinel. And we'll post weekly police blotters and home sale prices. THE BASICS Check out the Community Guide for the staples of information about Brown Deer. You'll find names and phone numbers of elected officials, lots of school information, demographic information, crime statistics, links to area organizations and businesses, restaurant reviews, and much more.
