and an entire nation, but that happened to Milwaukee and the United States. Milwaukee’s “first” baseball game played in 1859, ended after three innings with a score of 40-35 (Mishler 1). Yet, that was only the beginning of Milwaukee’s love affair with baseball. Fans have cheered for Bears, Brewers and Braves, among others.

A survivor is someone who can take the pressure of the hardship they may go through in life. Can push their limits and do things they may not want to do. A survivor is someone who stays strong and positive in a time of doubt, or to have hope when the situation seems hopeless. Someone who does not give up no matter how much they want to.

The world is full of many places and over time those places begin to change. Sometimes it is for the better and others it is for the worse but people don’t realize the effect that place has on other things, or how it relates to the future. Throughout this paper I will discuss the historical findings about my place, Honey Creek Park in West Allis, WI, and the reasoning behind why I think that if we don’t fix the way we view environmental places, whether it is a park, city, building, forest, etc that

The quote states “One man can be a crucial ingredient on a team, but one man cannot make a team.” The 1970’s had a lot of magically talented athletes in a variety of different sports, and held sight too many tragic/horrific accidents such as the Kent State shooting and Apollo 13. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar one of the world’s most talented basketball players, wasn’t just born with the unique name of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

The Women’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) and the Anti-Saloon League (ASL) were the primary groups leading the prohibition movement. Both groups represented large non-partisan voting blocks and were founded in deep religious beliefs that blamed alcohol for much of society’s problems. They specialized in high pressure tactics and effectively ousted politicians who didn’t vote accordingly. In fact, the
In 1873, Adolph Coors opened The Golden Brewery in Colorado after immigrating to the United States. Aside from his expertise and experience as a brewer, he only provided $2,000 to the start-up of the brewery. His partner, Jacob Schueler, provided $18,000. A few years later in 1880, Coors bought out Schueler in order to become the sole owner of the brewery. Production at that time was only about 3,500 barrels a year, but just 10 years later in 1890, Coors was producing 17,600 barrels of beer a
