Milwaukee Avenue




Milwaukee Avenue runs a strange course diagonally through the city.  It plays host to an eclectic bunch of shops in a wide spectrum of prosperity and despair. One of my ongoing curiosities is the state of the storefronts that line its sidewalks. Some sell an outrageous splash of tchotchkies. Some are under development. More than a few are simply boarded up or papered over, awaiting some new purpose and occupants. It's a constant mix of things on the way out, new ideas on the way in, and some things (like the tchotchkies) that will just never change.
