I grew up in Milwaukee. All of my Uncles were Cops or Firefighters or worked for Miller Brewing. My Dad and both of my Grandpas (and my Mom) worked at Allis-Chalmers and P&H through the years.
It truly WAS an awesome place to grow up...and it was a great place to ‘be from’ by 1970. ;)
I thank my Dad often for working so hard, bettering our lives and getting us the H#ll OUT of there! :)
And Milwaukee hasn't been a good place "to visit" since the 1980, a safe place "drive through" since 1990, nor a good place to "be near" since 2000!
