It has been a great week for Martin Drive Neighborhood.

Adam Carr, producer at Radio Milwaukee, has been interviewing many residents as part of the Neighborhood Project Series – Love Where You Live! I was lucky to tag along with Adam and enjoyed talking with many of you. Adam makes you comfortable and makes you want to spill your story of why and how you came to Martin Drive and why you love it so much. We interviewed business owners, homeowners and renters and learned all the things that make Martin Drive a special to live in … for instance:

It’s affordable living.
We are centrally located.
There are great businesses.
There are great neighbors.
We love our gardens.
We are diverse in many ways.
We are next to a beautiful Olmsted Park.
We have an active neighborhood association.
It is clear that we have fun here.
Neighbors get along and work together to make this a nice place to live.
We are proud of the neighborhood.

Keep tuned to Radio Milwaukee this week to hear what Adam Carr and the other residents have to say.

Martin Drive In the News!

In the News!

On October 22, 2007, Pat Mueller was interviewed by Channel 6 News, about the Martin Drive Neighborhoods’ long standing and active block watch and neighborhood organization. A brief clip of our Steering Committee in action was televised depicting an example of an active resident neighborhood group working on neighborhood issues.

Martin Drive Neighborhood association members strongly believe in community policing, and generally getting to know your neighbors and supporting them by watching out for them and reporting crime and suspicious activities. We believe in creating an environment that is safe and not conducive to crime. This can be done in many ways including, keeping up with the maintenance of our homes giving the appearance that the neighborhood is cared for, keeping shrubs trimmed low so they do not block view and offer a place for intruders to hide
keeping porch lights on, participating in neighborhood walks and many more.

Because of this active neighborhood, we be happy that we have a low crime rate and are not experiencing some of the serious crime issues of other neighborhoods. And we are happy to be in the news in a positive light!

Let’s keep up the good work.
