Growing up in Wisconsin, and in Wauwatosa in particular, I lived on 92nd and Wright, just down the street from Hoyt Park.
During the summer, we go swimming there almost everyday and that is where I learned to swim. afterwards, we either go up to the train tracks and throw rocks at the trains (back where trains were real trains, with cabooses)or we would play in the Menomonee River and look for crayfish.
Then Hoyt pool began leaking and they closed it down in 2003. But it seems like they are going to rebuild the pool because private citizens came through and raised $7.7 million dollars.
Now this is a great combination of private citizens and government working together to get this done and improve the community.
Congratulations to all involved.
