Welcome to WestAllisNOW.com This Web site combines the efforts of Community Newspapers and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel newsrooms to bring you the latest news and information about West Allis and West Milwaukee. 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 hope we've got 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 West Allis - 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 West Allis, please let us know. In addition, we'll provide an archive of news stories about West Allis and West Milwaukee that have appeared in the Community Newspapers and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
