Sweeping Milwaukee photo thread...two years in the making

[Jesus in a Geo]

Hey guys. This is my first of what I hope is many posts. Without humorous commentary or other fanfare, here is an assortment of photos I've taken around Milwaukee over the past two years.

Nice photos and welcome. Also, do you have any photos of City Hall? It's quite an interesting building in my opinion.

[OfCourse]

Very nice stuff.

Btw, what's this place?

[Top Of The Park]

....good job

[BigKidD]

^sure do. unfortunately, it's been covered by scafolding over the past few years, as it is in the process of being refurbished.

I see, thanks. How long will the refurbishment last?

[Austinlee]

Very cool! You make Milwaukee look great. Nice shots!

Might I ask, in the first picture what is that to the right? Looks like a mural of a tall building actually painted on a tall building? Any other pictures of that?

[Lakelander]

very impressive looking city.

[Wheelingman04]

Those pictures are refreshing.

[Complex01]

I have never really seen up close pics before of Milwaukee, i have always heard great things about it. It is nice, very kewl...

:yes:

[flar]

Nice architecture

[boden]

Post more streetscapes...we do not see nearly enough of this town here on the forum! Good post!

[CGII]

Awesome photos, great to see some more MKE always.

I see, thanks. How long will the refurbishment last?

I think it will be finished in 2008.

That is a trompe d'oeil on the blank face of the Grande Theatre, you can tell it's dated because buildings reflected in the windows are long demolished:

So close to Chicago geographically yet so different in so many ways. Great pictures.

[Chelsea Spy]

some fine buildings - very interesting !

[ColDayMan]

Beautiful!

[Jesus in a Geo]

Thanks for all the positive cooments, guys. As you can see, the picture quality here varies greatly. This is mainly due to the fact that I got a new camera somewhere in that two year period.

[LSyd]

great compilation thanks. congrats on your new camera. east side kind of reminds me of Richmond.
