Possible Land Deal, Taste of Muskego Top the Week Ahead

Tuesday

City may buy BP land: After months of debate and discussion, the Common Council is expected to make a decision on whether to purchase the former BP gas station on Janesville Road and Lannon Drive from Waukesha County. The council is divided on whether purchasing the land for $2,500 for possible redevelopment is in the best interests of the city. Alderman are expected to take up the matter at the meeting that starts at 7 p.m. at City Hall.

Goth sock puppets? This isn't your ordinary kids craft project. Youngsters will get the chance to transform ordinary socks into funky goth sock puppets at a program that begins at 3 p.m. At the Muskego Public Library. Particpants can decorate their socks with crazy neon hair, safety pins and — of course — nose rings. Call the library at (262) 971-2100 to register.
