Except for the corner building, these are truly unremarkable and add little to the overall fabric of the area. The other thing about successful historic preservation is that the buildings need to be saved before they are threatened. HP efforts will fail 99 percent of the time when initiated at the last minute.TosaGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520232078421382322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1408773708645609793.post-14790595511789845482010-11-10T13:42:57.213-08:002010-11-10T13:42:57.213-08:00It's simply incredible to think of the top-not...It's simply incredible to think of the top-notch freeway system we'd have right now had we actually FINISHED the freeways that were proposed and/or already being built. Folks could get to jobs all over the area via car/bus in short order thus making Milwaukee even more attractive to businesses looking to relocate. But oh no, we certainly can't have progress in our fair city!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02946065107291103210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1408773708645609793.post-13523084663839157972010-11-09T05:24:42.030-08:002010-11-09T05:24:42.030-08:00Just heard about this on Jay Weber's show and ...Just heard about this on Jay Weber's show and wow!

There were a lot of tsks and head-shaking.Phelony Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08833127666883397581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1408773708645609793.post-5689364214773280582010-11-07T16:07:39.802-08:002010-11-07T16:07:39.802-08:00You've convinced me.

So now someone actually wants to invest money in it rather than living with a crumbling building and this genius challenges it.
