Lincoln. It was near the double RR tracks. I was onlly 3 at the time. I think there is a factory on that site now. The apartment complex was actually two large brick? buildings 3 or 4 stories high. Is there a website that has photos going back that far?<br /><br />-PMSPMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11313306919180529642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31045845.post-69021387294676272332011-01-01T13:20:10.226-06:002011-01-01T13:20:10.226-06:00It really is true that you can't go home again...It really is true that you can't go home again. How sad. <br /> Now that I am widowed, and could live where ever I wanted, I thought about seeing if my old 1951 built home in a neighborhood that Mequon didn't want to claim back in the early to mid '90's. (The mayor at the time was even quoted as saying of the area, "Well, that's not really Mequon.")<br /> I was shocked to discover the home we had trouble selling for $140,000 is now worth over $350,000, even after the big floods.<br /> Our house was built on a high spot, and the crafty owner had two sump pumps in the basement. That place would never flood.<br /> My own beloved "Rock House" is now beyond my reach.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31045845.post-71257026629271909482010-06-29T00:41:54.102-05:002010-06-29T00:41:54.102-05:00Wow...Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos of...Wow...Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos of industrial West Milwaukee.

Judging from the fact they have been looking for more help for quite a while now, it looks like they may ride out the wave of industry that has left. <BR/><BR/>I believe Hotpoint has a presense behind the old Hotpoint complex (aka Pick and Save / Menards)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31045845.post-36598115666271919142008-04-06T11:02:00.000-05:002008-04-06T11:02:00.000-05:00I have a photo from the area of an abandoned grain...I have a photo from the area of an abandoned grain loader tipped on its side.
