i know cities all across america always get negative press all the time, remember the dayz when american cities thrived and were powerhouses of industry and commerce and any thing a human needed they could find, any and all services a resident needed it was always there weather a person was poor weathy or in the middle all the residents had resources available to help in times of crises.
being born and raised here there were hard times and goodtimes, my life in milwaukee has been good. all i can say is i love my country my place of birth my city of milwaukee. its a big american city , with the small town feel.
I’m from Chicago and I want to see all of these pics. I am amazed at the frozen in time element here. This is like a companion piece to the physical exhibits at the Milwaukee Public Museum.
I am 36 and have lived in Milwaukee all my life and it sucks they didn't have much as far as video cameras in the old days. Would have liked to see Milwaukee from the 1800s with each decade to the present including all of the suburbs. Be so fascinating
Yeah, we still had the plugged-into-the-wall phones with dials like they show in old black and white movies and some of us still had party-lines on those phones.
Relating to the photo of 3rd and Wisconsin from the 1970s, I used to wait at the bus stop on that corner to catch the No. 19 bus to the South Side when I was going to college and working downtown part-time as a messenger for Chicago Title Insurance Company. It’s a great personal historical memory. Also amazing how things have changed there, too.
I grew up on 35th & Clyburn now the Marquette high school parking lot. In 1980 The Army station Me in Monterey California when I saw the Monterey Bay I said I'm never going back to Milwaukee. I've made Monterey my home. But Milwaukee is where I will always be from. These pictures are my memories of my hometown.
@@FATMAN162x When I moved out of Milwaukee many years ago the winters were the main reason I knew I wouldn't move back. That was before crime was bad. Now Milwaukee is one of the most crime infested cities in the U.S (which is really sad to me) yet another reason not to move back. Although I still look back fondly to my childhood years there.
i was born in milwaukee i remember 1970 to present day . the people here are great. my city.
The city off Dahmer
@@UA-cam_Globetrotter i delivered the Milwaukee journal in that apartment building and you know what? You are
A Dunkuff that's German for Stupid.
Milwaukee is still a beautiful city with a proud history and prouder future regardless of the negative comments in the video

I moved out of Milwaukee with my family in 1977. So that's the only Milwaukee I know. Apparently it completely changed? That's why I never visit.
I remember that Walgreen's back then... Wow forgot all about that corner... Talk about going back in time

I'm getting old. I grew up in the 70s and these people are talking about them like it was Little House on the Prairie.
lolololol!!! why back in your day of the 70s, you didn't have all this fancy technology and buildings
Yeah, we still had the plugged-into-the-wall phones with dials like they show in old black and white movies and some of us still had party-lines on those phones.
I was born in Milwaukee my favorite hometown ever I love Milwaukee alot its amazing city even back then too
Where can we see all the pictures?

The Army station

Those old photos would be great published in a book.
¡ Yo viví, al frente de ése Walgreen's , que recuerdos !
¡Hace muchísimos años!
Nunca más he regresado a milwaukee, pero tengo gratos recuerdos.
Mentira
AMAZING......
The smell of Frank Balistrieri, Al McGuire, Samson, and some other '60s and '70s Milwaukee icons waft off those photos.
On 3rd I used to buy comics on the corner by Wall greens
Wow that was before my time wow
There are millions of pictures of Milwaukee going back over a century.
Those were the days when Milwaukee was a decent city to live in
Was that before or after they put i-43 directly in the black community
I do love the photos and history of Milwaukee, do not get me wrong. A lot of things play into why Milwaukee is what it is
it wasnt there then
After...So stop stooing..
@@davidkoehler136I-43 was built in the 60's
This is really shocking that old photos would be found in an antique store....oh wait...
milwaukee is one of those towns u move away from and never move back
Most definitely lol once I move goodbye. Not a day goes by I don’t hear someone shooting or witness someone getting jumped.
