Summer Streetcar Ride
I love the Kenosha streetcar. It is one of the best ways to avoid parking crowds at the Harbor Market on Saturdays. These restored streetcars are just a lovely ride through the harbor. Last time I was on it, I saw some new spaces and murals that I hadn’t seen before. (Kenosha, Wisconsin, 2026)
Sun, Scooter, Street, Enjoy
I was in Kenosha for some meetings and spent some time downtown shooting photos of the new developments (there are a lot!). This guy was just great. He was enjoying the day and the sunshine in all the best ways. I enjoyed meeting him. (Kenosha, Wisconsin, 2026)
The Gremlin is Iconic
In the 1970s AMC was putting out some innovative autos. One of my favorites was the Gremlin. It was nice to see it as a big mural. (Kenosha, Wisconsin, 2026)
I've Been Thinking About Pizza Lately
I’ve also been thinking of the great places I’ve had great pizza. Like this one on my first full day in Argentina. I knew the pizza would be good since so many Italian immigrants came to the country at the same time they came to the United States. (Buenos Aries, Argentina, 2025)
Thumbs Up Milwaukee
The statue has its fans and detractors, but I like it combined with the Milwaukee mural across the river. (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 2026)
Twice as Nice
If your first married home is a residence hall, why not the 2nd one. We lived in Baker Hall in 1986-87 at Ohio State. It is a sprawling low building that is impossible to get a good photo of. I was on campus for a conference when I got this one (Columbus, Ohio, 2019)
Time Flies When You Are Having Fun
It was just 40 years ago today on a sunny Saturday afternoon that Kathleen and I were married here. St. Patrick’s was the first English speaking parish on the south side of Milwaukee. This building has been on the corner of 7th and Washington since 1893. (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 2023)
Turn Around to See the Mural Behind You
This alley is the full package, murals, colorful lanterns, and next to a coffee shop. It’s the type of space that you would marvel at if you were a tourist. (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 2025)
The Next Mural Down
Along the same wall as yesterday there is another mural honoring labor, work, and workers. (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 2025)
Staying in the Alley
After coffee at at The Daily Bird be sure to go back in the alley to check out the murals. They are some of the best in Riverwest. (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 2025)
Alley Color
I love it when I travel and I come across an alley full of murals and color. I stop, appreciate it, and perhaps take a photo. In this case this alley is about a mile from my home and I can walk over and appreciate it. After I walk over I can grab a cup of coffee and baked goods at The Daily Bird. (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 2025)
The Dog Loved The Poolside
One of the most surprising things about the Arizona sabbatical was how much Rob the Hound Dog loved to lay by the pool (he never went in). We would have to force him inside so he didn’t overheat. (Tempe, Arizona, 2004)
All Aboard
I’m a great fan of train travel and I use trains whenever I can. When I was in college it was the easiest and cheapest way for me to get back home. I was meeting someone for coffee in Tosa and the Empire Builder buzzed by me. I thought that it has been too long since I’ve taken the train west. (Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, 2024)
Home History
Been away for a month. You would think it would have been travel–but you would be wrong. We moved and we have been working on the new place. A friend of mine noted that he has been in all but one of our homes. When we counted there were 14. This was the first, The next 14 weeks are “Moving Mondays” as we walk through our homes. We came home from our wedding in 1986 to live in Schroeder Hall at…
Milwaukee Cruise Season Starts Today
The first of over 60 cruise ships expected this summer arrived in Milwaukee Harbor today. Great Lakes cruising is becoming a thing and Milwaukee is one of the prime stops. With a city full of activities visitors will have 5)o trouble finding things to do. (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 2026)
Three Rivers
Lake Michigan is so dominant on the Milwaukee landscape that the rivers that run through the city are often overlooked. The Milwaukee, Menominee, and Kinnickinnic rivers are being rehabbed for public use and the Riverwalk is particularly nice for walking and summer dining, (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 2017)
High Line View
I love the High Line. It’s a great variation on the rails to trails concept but takes it further by developing the rail platform as a 1.5 mile linear park. I’ve walked it several times and some of my favorite photos of the city are along the line, (New York, New York, 2019)
