Was this the man who also collected tin foil and (I think) rubber bands? I remember him vividly and thought I was the only one! 10th and Concordia circa 1953. I remember the "ice man" bringing those huge blocks of ice too..that was earlier...1948-49 I was a toddler. I remember the thrill of riding the street car with my father to go see "Peter Pan" when it was first released..he let me pull the cord and I felt so grown up...I remember button buzzers...either on street cars or buses. One of my most vivid memories is when my father had to drop something off at City Hall. We parked right by the entry and that building and it's odd triangular shape totally fascinated me. Seeing photos of it always gives me a thrill. Question...I remember at least two huge statues...one (at least) was a man on a horse. It was either in the middle of an intersection or on a corner. Does anyone know what they were and where they were? and the dear Milwaukee lingo..."bubblers....bubblers...bubblers" Oh, how I'd love to "go home"....just for a while... So many memories..even after nearly 54 years.........dianne >------------------------------ > >Message: 2 >Date: Wed, 24 Jan 2007 22:35:44 -0600 >From: Maxine Capezza <mcapezza@earthlink.net> >Subject: [WIMILWAU] Milwaukee memories >To: wimilwau@rootsweb.com >Message-ID: <7.0.1.0.0.20070124223403.0276d310@earthlink.net> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed > >While we are going down memory lane.....I remember the rag man with a >horse pulling a wagon to collect rags.
