Excellent article. I enjoy local history. Our city sure has an interesting one. Thank you for this contribution.
Although I do not live in mMilwaukee, I, too, teal enjoy the flavor of this city. Many from my parents’ family, siblings and their children have made this their home and I spent a lot of the summertimes here. The skyline contiinues to be more beautiful and the improvements downtown are great. The architectural diversity is super. Thank you for your coverage.
Excellent article. I’ve heard of the wealthy called Blue Bloods but never Bluebellies? Some internet dictionaries indicate it as a slang for Union soldiers in the Civil War. Any other thoughts on this?
