‘West ALLIS’ as in Allis-Chalmers, makers of tractors and other machinery. Sparkplugs, too, back in the day. My Dad, Mom (Payroll) and both Grandpas were machinists for AC.

Company town. I grew up there. It was an awesome place to be a kid, especially at Christmastime.

Now, it’s just another day in ‘The People’s Republik of Milwaukeestan!’ We left in 1970.
