So now we walk unfamiliar sidewalks on the eastside of Milwaukee. Our new apartment is four blocks from Lake Michigan and around the corner from a wonderful independent bookstore, two coffee shops, a grocery store, movie theater and pharmacy plus several restaurants. If we walk in another direction I can get to my doctors' offices, more restaurants, another movie theater and Whole Foods.....plus more.
The neighborhood is filled with block after block of lovely historic homes (some mansions!) and brick apartment buildings. Mature shade trees line each sidewalk. Fenway is having a terrific time christening "his" city territory. And I amuse myself by sometimes looking down at the sidewalk blocks. The dates they were put in place varies from the early 1900's to 2020. Different mixtures of concrete make each stretch slightly individual and it's just interesting (to me) to notice the companies involved with Milwaukee's infastructure. I used to do the same thing when we lived in Bay View.
Coming back into the building last week I noticed one of the sewer drains right in front of the entryway along the circular driveway.
A classy reminder that what goes in here leads to our precious lake!
