Urban Hike: The River Walk, Milwaukee

 Basing my opinion solely on old Laverne and Shirley reruns, I thought Milwaukee was going to be a dank, industrial beer town. More depressing than St. Louis because of cold weather. I didn't envision the progressive, aesthetically pleasing, artistically developed city we found.  The Riverwalk through the Third Ward was yet another walkable, bikable route that takes one past shops and restaurants, many who have quaint balconies overlooking The Milwaukee River.
