OLD MILWAUKEE REVISITED
Diving through the intersecton of 76th & Wisconsin today, I was compelled to do an instiant u-turn. Where the billboard at the corner liquor store once stood, extolling the virtures of Newports Lights, there was now an ancient discorvery unveiled for less jaded travelers to see...
"Rooms $4.00 and Up" the signage now modestly exclaimed.
I understand that the economy is faltering, but at prices like this (not to mention the private baths) wants a there not to love about a 1950's bargain like this. Welcome to the post-war boom economy!
In the end, it's comforting to witness advertising from a less skeptical time, before it's brushed away for the next malt liquor ad. Check it out while it's still there.

I came back from my portland trip to find that one of the sets I shot went on MR!!! How keen is that?
