The Highway 41 Streetview trek heads into Appleton, WI

 

In the previous Highway 41 end-to-end Streetview trek post, the route went around Appleton, Wisconsin.  Now, the somewhat more interesting trip through this midsize Wisconsin city.

Back to College Avenue. This time the trek took the exit, and first, provides a view of the commercial strip outside the main city.

Over the train tracks

Just off College Avenue, this is the world's first hydroelectrically powered home.

Crossing Badger Avenue, official border of downtown Appleton. Badger was a moniker for Wisconsonians at one time, but now I think "cheeseheads" is in the fore. Brewers -- that's a baseball team.

It's a long avenue. This is by the Appleton Beer Factory. Remember those Brewers?

By the City Center Plaza, downtown mall, and the Zuelke Building, the latter one of Appleton's tallest. (Hey, it's Appleton, not Chicago.)

A couple of blocks off the main avenue, the Appleton YMCA.
