Milwaukee Sketch Club outside Estacion Restaurant, Waukesha, Thursday morning 7/9/15

 The nice pictures are John's. The washed out ones are mine.

Originally we planned to meet in the Student Union parking lot of Carroll University. However no parking was available there so we drove down the hill to the parking lot near the used bookstore. Then drove over to Estacion restaurant neighborhood.




We walked around to figure out where we wanted to paint and got to meet Butch, an 88 year old barber who cuts hair in the Caboose next to Estacion. I believe that he is open Tuesday - Saturday mornings. Estacion opened up at 11am.
 
Estacion Restaurant was originally a railway depot

.The 400 club where Les Paul played guitar is across the street along with the Spur Bar, possibly an old rooming house, and a hair cutting salon.


Very scenic neighborhood. Interesting buildings.
