Sydney Hih will soon become a memory..

The City of Milwaukee will purchase the Sydney High building and will be demolishing it once the asbestos has been cleared.

The Sydney Hih building had been spruced up and several of the areas had been cleaned out and served as a gallery for art and photography during August, 2009. I have included a gallery of interior photographs from that time, as well as others from before and after the IN:SITE event.

I had a post regarding Sydney Hih during the IN:SITE Public Art Project in August of 2009.

Monches Farm, Colgate, Wisconsin

Charming, rustic, lots of chickens running around and a delightful gift shop for home decor. For March... it was a beautiful summer day!

Monches Farm is a nursery featuring more than 2,000 varieties of hardy field grown perennials. “We specialize in rare and unusual perennials and annuals, including native prairie plants and a collector’s selection of daylilies,” says horticulturist ZannahCrowe. “It’s well worth the trip when the daylily garden blooms in July,” she says. Visitors can also purchase locally grown pumpkins and heirloom squash in autumn, hand-made dried floral wreaths and arrangements, and one-of-a-kind garden art created by local artists. Free and open to the public March to December, the farm is closed Monday, but open 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 10 a.m.-4p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
