They're still in snow season... NFW you'd want to use your "oil dry shovel" for it's originally intended purpose.

Sorry, up here the shovel serves a dual purpose...this time of the year I keep it in my trunk in case I end up in the ditch. It was just removed this week to stand by status in the garage.

This is a 1902 tavern in the ghetto. I have high hopes for this place.

Lots of money and love went into refurbishing that building.
Just to be clear since I do not know much about the demographics in Milwaukee, was it in the ghetto in the 1902 era or now, or both? If you have high hopes, I assume it was ghetto back at the turn of the century but now it is in a better area?
In 1902, this was part of the affluent part of the city. The demographics started to change at the end of WWII and people started to migrate to the suburbs. I remember in the late 1950's and early 1960's going window shopping with my parents in this neighborhood when the stores still had huge bay windows with fantastic displays. The north side started to deteriorate rapidly and all hell broke lose in the mid 1960's riots. A lot of places burned and were destroyed forever. Some buildings, like this one, survived and somebody made a hell of an effort to restore it. In the last decade or two there has been great effort by many to bring back the glory of yesteryear. Either restoring or repurposing buildings and warehouses. I'm just optimistic that these neighborhoods will continue in this direction and have ownership and pride in their own homes and businesses.

Another beautiful building in the ghetto on Martin Luther King Drive going to be restored and repurposed. This is one of the stores my parents would take me to in the 1950's and early 1960's. Built in 1907 and just look at the beauty under that gawdy siding!
