MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee residents at Sherman Park Grocery Store say they like snow, but not snowstorms. They are keeping positive attitudes as they prepare to hunker down during the heavy snow.
"I'm shopping for Christmas dinner, some things to have before the blizzard," Cashay Harris said. "It's supposed to be really bad Thursday and Friday."
These shoppers are stocking up for the polar plunge.
"I just want to pick up a couple of things," Patricia Copeland said.
Though former State Senator Lena Taylor showed up to collect signatures to run for municipal judge, the big snow was also on her mind.
Taylor admits, "I had to go get some salt today and call my cousin to help me shovel the snow when it comes because I don't want to shovel." She laughs heartily.
Yvette Watkins is a Sherman Park Grocery employee who loves her job.
She recites questions customers keep asking, "Do we got shovels? Yes, we do! Do we have antifreeze for your car? Yes, we do!"
Loyal patrons of Sherman Park Grocery Store appreciate a well-stocked store with a friendly vibe close to where they live.
