West Brown Deer Rd, Brown Deer

West Brown Deer Road (Highway 100) from I-43 to N. Green Bay Road (Hwy 57) is fairly calm and a good drive, due to three lanes of traffic moving in each direction. The main things to watch out for on that portion of the road are the huge potholes that swallow cars every spring and the 35 mph speedlimit in Fox Point (about a two-mile stretch from I-43 to the west.) Once you enter the area west of Highway 57, the road bustles with businesses and factories. You will find a Cousins Subs, a liquor store, Target, Wal-Mart and many more on this stretch of the road. Even when it's not prime time drive time, you need to watch for cars darting into the road from the numerous driveways.

Brown Deer Rd is very difficult to get to during high traffic times (morning and afternoons and anytime there is a major event going on or if there is construction). I have had to go to Brown Deer Road several times since I have moved up here and every time I have gone up there it has seemed, well, blah. Between the Interstate and the Lowe's it doesn't really seem dirty it just seems boring and drab. There doesn't appear to be much to do and there are very few place to stop and grab a bite to eat.

Brown Deer is not a street I would travel to if I didn't have to. As a matter of fact, as soon as I found out that there was a Lowe's closer to my house, I stopped going up to Brown Deer.
