What ever happened to Ninos restaurants and it’s owners?

Peter Berka was my my Great Grandmother's step brother.


WOW!

Berka`s Tavern was very unique!  I was very sorry to see it go. Places like that are just about instinct!

When I used to stop there It was like being in a tavern on The Streets of Old Milwaukee.

Small world!

Keep in mind there was a major street renaming in 1930 or 1931. So

Boy, I just have recollection of that Shoe Store.

I remember going to Kinney`s and Thom Mcan .

There was a little shoe store on 13th st. just north of Oklahoma ave. It had a Polish name. Bartinski`s or something like that. I bought a couple pairs of "hood" shoes there back around 1965.

In high school I went to Johnnie Walkers on Mitchell St.  And I think I remember a place called Hardy`s.

Part of the River Bend Shopping Center on 76th & Oklahoma Ave for many years until Gawlitta's moved in. Was a real rite of passage when our dad first took me and my brothers to get shoes there in the Sixties. The men's shoes were on the lower level. They had a big buffalo head mounted on the wall opposite the carpeted stairs as you went down. I remember a very tall silver-haired salesman working the men's department. I don't think I ever knew his name but he was always very polite and helpful. Was he one of the owners?

Skinner,

The photo is from my personal collection. The man second from left was my father. My mother was also at Muirdale for about four years (exact same time as my dad, though they didn't start dating until a year after they'd both been discharged, and only then because of a chance meeting on a city bus). I have photos of her too, at Muirdale, taken by one of my aunts (whose hobby was photography at that time).

Up until a few years ago, you could still just walk into Muirdale and look around (now the doors are kept locked and require card-access for security purposes). I went there in 2012 one Sunday afternoon and took a lot of exterior shots of the remaining buildings and then went inside, just to see how it had changed since the time my parents were there from 1944-48. Clearly they made some updates (carpeting, acoustic-tile drop ceilings, etc.) but in some areas the floor pattern looked identical to what they had in the 1940s. I could tell by comparing my photos with ones my aunt took back then) The hot water radiators looked original and so did the walls in those two semicircular "airing" rooms on either side of the main building. Many of the exterior window frames also looked pretty vintage.

I did find a bit of info on John C. Rittman. His father, Raymond, is buried at Mt. Olivet Cemetery but I have no idea of where John might be buried or even when he died. I suspect he may have died while still at Muirdale because I couldn't find anything on him beyond when that photo was taken. He had enlisted in the army in 1940 or '41 and served in Panama. I'm guessing he may have contracted TB while there and was discharged and sent home to Milwaukee. He would have been about 26 years old in the picture.

Hi Orpheus and Nectarsis, I wonder if either of you could tell me where you found that photo? I'm working on an archaeological paper about Muirdale and I can't find record of this photo anywhere online besides on this website and I would be so grateful for any help you can provide!

I`ve been eating Maria`s since they`ve been on Greenfield ave. , and still have it quite often from their Forest Home ave. restaurant. They are still going strong!

I also have Ned`s a few times a year.

I don`t think Dino`s was on 16th and Greenfield?

I used to go to Pepi`s on 16th and Greenfield.

There was a Dino`s on Howell ave a couple of blocks south of Howard that was popular back in the 60`s and early 70`s.

Besides Maria's on 7th & greenfield, Dino"s on 16th & greenfield, Pulo"s off of 11th & Mitchell,Tony Kazuth's on 92nd and Beloit ,and we still go to Ned"s off of  27th & Oklahoma
