Our Martin Luther King Drive branch marked its 20th anniversary on October 24 with a public ceremony that included the unearthing of a time capsule from when the branch first opened.
At the ceremony, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett proclaimed the day “North Shore Bank Day” throughout the city.
The MLK Drive branch was among the first banks to move into the city’s Harambee neighborhood. The time capsule was placed behind the building’s cornerstone in 1996. Its contents included newspapers and artwork from local students. As part of the ceremony, the old time capsule was replaced with a new one from this year.
The event received a lot of good local news coverage. You can see stories from The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Fox 6, CBS 58, and elsewhere on TV and the radio. •••

North Shore Shape Up: Skip ovarian cancer screenings
Here’s something a little unusual: The FDA advises women not to get routinely tested for ovarian cancer. According to Berkeley Wellness, “[i]n a safety communication, the agency warned women about the risks of ovarian cancer screening tests, citing the fact that none are sensitive enough to reliably screen for ovarian cancer without a high number of inaccurate results.” This reaffirms a recommendation issued in 2012 because “the potential harms outweigh the benefits.”
Right now, there is no safe and reliable test for ovarian cancer. “Symptoms that could indicate ovarian cancer include bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, difficulty eating, and frequent or urgent urination that persist for more than two weeks,” Berkeley Wellness notes. “Women with such symptoms should see their doctor promptly.” •••
