    N. Humboldt is one of the prettiest streets in the city in my humble opinion. Also, I used to live on the corner of N. Humboldt and Pleasant St. so that Mrs. Donahue story hits home.

    Thanks for the history lesson!

    The village of Williamsburg Heights was just west of Humbolt where the Port Washington Road met the Greenbay Post road. Lots of poor northern german truck farmers inhabited the village.
