Thursday Mugs #1



"This is my Streets of Old Milwaukee mug. I keep it on my desk, here in Austin, Texas, because it reminds me of home. The Streets are an exhibit depicting life in Milwaukee just before WWI. The exhibit is located inside the Milwaukee Public Museum where I worked for five years while I earned a Master's in Museum Studies and Anthropology. I have many, many fond memories of my grandparents taking me there as a child and explaining how things were in their day. The museum has changed very little over the years and I feel it is part of my old neighborhood in my heart, since I basically grew up there." Wendy W. - Austin, TX
