Default Black Bear spotted in Milwaukee area

It was actually just a mile from where I work. And although Wauwatosa is a suburb of Milwaukee, it's really not what you'd picture the suburbs to be. It is pretty heavily populated with businesses all around and is only10 minutes from downtown Milwaukee. The only real "woods" in the areais a thin strip that's off the highway. It's maybe 1/3 mile wideby 1 mile long. On the edge of this is where the bear was spotted. I've seen deer in there so I don't doubt it can sustain a black bear. Here's the link:

Anythings possible! I made a post yesterday of a bear 1/8 mile from my house in Central Minnesota. We don't normally have bear here either, there a good 2 hours north of me but I got pics to prove it.

WOW, I didn't hear about that yet! Thats more of a neighborhood than anything else, I can't imagine a bear roaming around there!
