Recalled Place,.. Person,.. Situation 04/03/07

- On one of my treks I walked for two hours down third street, starting at Martin Luther King Drive and Locust, continuing down pass the old factories and breweries, pass Old Third World street all the way to the Grand Avenue Mall. What struck me was the massive construction going on up and down the block. It's a similar thing I've been seeing throughout the city, with many new condo's being built and roads being repaired. What I found really interesting though was the fact that you could still parts of the old city co-existing with parts of the new city. Not only could you see but it hear it also. The sounds of construction intersected and mingled with the sound of people and old music. Having lived in Milwaukee all of my life it provoked within me a sense of nostaglia. So the question I pose is: Does the old city still exist, despite this violent and rapid reconstruction going on?
