So, after who-knows-how-long, one of the vacant storefront spaces at 1952 N. Farwell Ave. is finally taking shape as something. The eye-catching signage tells us that Patty Burger is coming soon and that, apparently, "Patty wants to meet you."

The burger and shakes joint -- which already seems to be a hit on East Adams Street in Chicago -- promises to be open in Milwaukee before Christmas.

The good news? They've got burgers of all kinds, including vegetarian style, that are served as either single-, double- or (lookout!) triple-layered. Milwaukee's still predominantly a burger and fries kind of town -- this should go over well.

The questionable news? It's directly across the street from the almighty Comet Café.

Stay tuned to OMC for more info on Patty Burger as it becomes available.
