One of the casualties of the August flood was the gym at the Daniels Mardak Boys & Girls Club here on Milwaukee's North Side, which is used by more than 200 kids each day.

it also had one of the largest public transportation systems in the US, the least amount of public debt, significant economic growth, extraordinary population growth, high homeownership rates, and & other achievements

plenty of challenges too, but overall quite impressive

friendly reminder that socialist mayors governed Milwaukee for nearly half a century from 1910-1960

during this time Milwaukee achieved milestones such as being the healthiest, safest, and best-governed city in America

So cool! I love the postcards of the park from the Zoo era. I’ve heard from neighbors who were kids at the time that they could hear the lion roaring and other sounds from homes alongside and nearby the park.
