Bringing a taste of the south to MKE

Watermelons mean big business for the Baylor Family. "My parents purchased this lot in 1979 and this is a special corner for me, because I was born in '79 as well," said Keith Baylor. I met Keith Baylor at the corner of Sherman and Capitol. That's where he runs the family business that dates back 60 years. "My parents moved here like many other African Americans in Milwaukee, Chicago or the Midwest. They migrated from Mississippi in the 60's, 1960's," said Baylor. His Dad, MacArthur Baylor, spent several years in construction. And later decided to implement what he learned about watermelons in the south.
