Buildings, a close small little neighborhood,
conversations heard doors down
A blast from the past
memories come alive
Old, but surreal
to think of what was
The journey, starting on a track
as the clickity clack is being heard
Birds chirping, morning is approaching
as the cool brisk winds brushes the face
Ding, the bakery products are pulled out of the oven
the warm gentle scent of yeast
Candy shop, the most popular area
full of goodies for all ages
A non existing tour guide
guiding through the scenes
Family, more than one definition
the feeling of closeness
Business, not just about money
but making Milwaukeeans happy
