    FYI – 27th Street in the Burnham Park neighborhood is known as Layton Boulevard.

  2. Quite so, Mr. Adams. And 27th Street is called Range Line Road where I come from originally.

    What is the point of this column? Seriously, I want to understand. I’m usually pretty quick on the uptake, so to speak.
    After reading this one, I looked at past profiles/articles and don’t see the point of any of them. Can’t I just look up this info on line?

    Mr. Horne: The Route #10 bus runs east and west considerably further north from Mr. Donovan’s home. If Mr. Donovan were to use the #10 to get to work, he would probably opt for Route 27 for the first couple of miles. Then the 10. But at that point he’s a walk – yes a short walk – to his office. Better if he took the 54 eastbound to KK Avenue, then the GreenLine directly to City Hall. Simple living quarters, I believe, are interesting. It’s comforting to know that many people who serve us live nearby.

  5. Jeramey Jannene says:

    @Bill Sell – You are most certainly right. That should read 10 bus routes run nearby.

  6. GT says:

    “Some errands, like running around the corner to grab a pack of smokes, can be accomplished on foot. Schulist’s Bar is just .12 miles away.”

    !!!

    Should the need arise (and it should arise often), here’s a link to Milwaukee County’s bus routes.
