Wires

The folks at Cafe Hollander are into bikes, and have integrated them into the decor. This wheel is against a metal screen on the second floor of the Downer Street location, and the spokes of the wheel against the mesh make an eye-catching pattern.

Diagram

Over at Best Place, the banquet room has paintings around the top of the room that illustrate the brewing process, as well as the area around the old Pabst brewery. This panel, painted in the 1940's, shows the grain elevators, malting rooms, drying kilns, and start of the combination of ingredients and water.

Bridge Light

On the bridges over the river, the piers have warning lights on them to warn boats of their location in the darkness.

Trolley Pass

Last summer, I found this trolley pass and holder at a flea market, and had to have it. The pass was valid for the twenty-second week of 1945 (May 27 - June 2) and the pass was for the The Milwaukee Electric Railway & Transit Company, from the abbreviation at the bottom. The holder is a bit of a mystery, as a quick search didn't bring up any results for Waldheim Brothers. Someone had also scratched off the years of membership, but I think I'll be able to figure them out with a little work.

Snow Light

It's been a while since we've seen a heavy snow. The forecast has some showers coming over the next week. Perhaps we'll get a chance to "enjoy" winter once or twice more before it's over.

McKinley Marina

The boats are currently all ashore, but in the summer, the berths at McKinley Marina will be full, and the boats will be sailing both inside and outside of the breakwater.

Foreclosed

The minarets of the Oriental Theatre will remain, but the owner may soon change. The current owners are facing a foreclosure action to seize the building and two others.
