Highway 41 Streetview trek sees more sights in the Milwaukee burbs

 

As promised, a couple of more sights just off Highway 41 in the Milwaukee environs.

Second sight (after the zoo) is the Wisconsin State Fairgrounds. It has a racetrack, this is the view from the north end of the racetrack.

Third sight is the Pettit National Ice Center, for a long time the only large speed skating oval in the United States, and it was outdoors, which meant variable ice conditions. It's indoors now, which means the ice is better and lasts longer (global warming, you know -- seriously).



Google Maps/StreetView didn't have a good look at the oval, so here's one. I didn't know until now that it has two hockey rinks inside the oval and a running track outside it.

Passing the Milwaukee Regional Medical Center, at least according to the water tower.



The building to the left is part of Wauwatosa West High School. WWHS won the Wisconsin State High School swimming championship in 1971. No really notable alumni.

There will be more outside Milwaukee before we get into the true country.
