The Fox Bay Cinema Grill mixes the old with something new.
For more than 30 years, films shown at Fox Bay Cinema Grill have been projected by one man, 68-year-old Don Holt. Holt, who started as a film projectionist in California during the 1960's, has been projecting films at the theater since 1972, his first film being the French Connection. “Back then we only had one booth, two projectors and only one theater,” Holt said when showing the old projectors that sit in the lobby. “The two projectors were used to switch between the multiple reels for just one film then.” The business underwent a $750,000 renovation in 1991, which included a new bar and kitchen, the theater room split into three, and a switch from film to all digital projectors.

Whitefish Bay's favorite pet store has moved across the street to the space formerly occupied by Gallery 505.
Over the past 5 1/2 years, dogs around Whitefish Bay have been psychologically trained to pant heavily, bark excitedly and drag their owner into Hounds Around Town on Silver Spring Drive. Now that the pet supply store has moved to a new storefront at 505 E. Silver Spring Drive, store owner Lisa Peterson has placed a bowl of dog treats at the front door with the hopes that local dogs — and their owners — will follow them to their new location. "Dogs are more than welcome to come in, and the treats are handed out freely," Peterson said. Peterson said she decided to move from 330 E. Silver Spring Dr. to 505 E. Silver Spring Dr. due to lower rent and the increased visibility from being across the street from Sendik's. The current location was …
