What a sweet recollection. Yes, I felt an instant bond too, a bond that's only getting stronger as I read your thoughts and memories. 'Lucky' huh? LOL I know you were a cute boy-- One day I was walking from my aunt's house on 15th and Hadley to go up to Teutonia to the grocery store. Remember that white bank on the corner of Teutonia and Hadley and right across the street on the south/west corner was a grocery store--then across the street was the Milwaukee Movie Theater.

That's where me and my cousins would be gong to the show with the money from Uncle Charles..ha ha ha..<br />

anyway, I was walking up the street with my cousin and saw some 'green' folded 'something' up ahead. I ran up and looked and lo and behold it was a folded up $10 bill!<br />

I know what life was like in the 50's living in the projects as well. My paternal grandparents lived in the projects on Federal St. I don't remember any problems such as Cabrini later experienced in the 60's on..and it's frightening to read about---chilling!<br />

When my grandparents lived in the projects, I remember good times (pun intended)..Grannie had one of those old time washing machines with the roller things that squeezed the clothes' water out.…<div style="text-align:right;"><img src="http://www.retrovintagecollectibles.com/washing-machine.jpg"></img></div>

Funny you should say you were sad about coming north to the goudamelt belt, Thirty. We used to come back and forth on the train and that was so much fun coming to Milwaukee. In fact, when my husband left me with 4 small children in the 70's, I moved us to Milwaukee because I felt it was a better choice for raising them than the projects. But then, Milwaukee 'was' better back then.
