http://www.renewthevalley.org/projects/project.html?a=show&pid=3 This article gives a history. I seem to remember 'they' used to say the 6th St. Viaduct connected the Polish with the Germans:-) I was born into the German culture and married a Polish guy. I grew up on the North side of Milwaukee and moved to the South side after marriage so I guess that's a true statement :-) Jean

This was the saying when my Mom was born on 12th and Locust on the "North side" in 1924 to a mother from Pomerania, Germany and a father from Yorkshire, England. When I lived on the "South side" of Milwaukee in the 1970s and early 1980s, 'they' said "the 6th St. Viaduct was the longest bridge in the world!" - it connected Mexico and Africa. Not very politically correct even then! Gail in Appleton, WI <SNIP> > http://www.renewthevalley.org/projects/project.html?a=show&pid=3 > This article gives a history.
