Had my first job out of high school on Chicago St., HC Miller, a book and record binding business that is no longer there. Like many of the businesses that made up that area in the 60s and 70s. This area saw the decline of Milwaukee’s industrial age and in the 90s a transformation of the 3rd Ward began to take place that some people thought crazy at the time.
Thanks for some city history and memories.
