Milwaukee historian and writer John Gurda presented on his book Milwaukee: City of Neighborhoods, recently published by Historic Milwaukee. Based on a popular series of posters published by the City of Milwaukee in the 1980s, the book features both historical chronicles and contemporary portraits of 37 neighborhoods that emerged before World War II, an ensemble that defines the historic heart of the city. The book also features 11 new neighborhood posters by artist Jan Kotowicz, who created the original series.
