Each word reverberates:

[font size=6] Zeidler Union Park[/font]

Frank Zeidler was Milwaukee's last socialist mayor, leaving office in 1960.

The Zeidler-style "Sewer Socialists" were staunchly pro-union, of course.

And they built Milwaukee's once-magnificent park system, a wonderful example of the government working for the benefit of the people.

So--Zeidler. Union. Park.

It's enough to send chills down your spine to remember what Milwaukee once stood for.
