John Gurda is a well known Milwaukee historian and has written numerous books about the history of Milwaukee. I highly recommend reading any and all books written by John Gurda.
Rogano's is my family hangout bar within walking distance of my parents house on the east side of Milwaukee. This bar opened originally as a Pabst tied bar in 1890.
I went to Boy's Tech and Trade High School a few blocks away from Guadalupe from 1969-1973. The school is called something else now. It was the best high school in the state during that time.
