I take the bus to get around my home city of Milwaukee, and Oakland Avenue is one of the streets I find myself on the most. It’s everything you could want in a city street - beautiful houses, small boutiques, restaurants as far as the eye can see, running through a prime part of the city just a few blocks from gorgeous Lake Michigan. I can’t help but be inspired by it.
