Building Milwaukee City Hall - Dennis Pajot - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

Building Milwaukee City Hall - Dennis Pajot - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

Milwaukee''s City Hall on East Wells and North Water streets is a landmark. Not only officially, but as part of Milwaukee''s identity, from the city''s flag to the Laverne and Shirley sit-com in the 1970s. The site for this familiar building was not easily chosen. The final location was not the first choice for most of Milwaukee''s movers and shakers, and after it was finally settled upon, the difficulties only became bigger. Battles over designs and the bidding process became politically heated and personal in nature. Cost overruns in the construction, although common at the time, grew to gigantic proportions. The completed building was, however, structurally sound and pleasing to the eye. Still standing 115 years later, it is a monument to the Milwaukee government officials, architect and builder.

The Incomparable Hildegarde - Monica Storme Gallamore - Bog - McFarland & Co Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Incomparable Hildegarde (1906-2005) began her career as a pianist in Milwaukee''s silent movie theaters, which led to the Vaudeville stage. By the 1930s, she was singing in the cabarets of Paris and London, rubbing elbows with royalty, White Russians and Josephine Baker. She then became a darling of the New York supper club scene and her name became synonymous with high-class entertainment at venues like the Plaza Hotel''s Persian Room. She started fashion trends, had her own signature Revlon nail and lip color, and was the first to have song hits in the World War II era. This first biography of Hildegarde Sill covers her 70-year career, including her intimate relationship with her manager, Anna Sosenko, and emphasizes her importance in 20th-century American popular culture.
