MILWAUKEE — A lot that once represented Joe Kiesner's dream has become a painful reminder of devastating losses after recent flooding destroyed his towing business in Milwaukee's Miller Valley.

"To be honest with you, I hate coming back every day, but I have to. I have no other choice. I have to come back, but it hurts," said Joe Kiesner, owner of All Around Towing.
