{"product_id":"milwaukee-avenue-community-renewal-in-minneapolis-9781540209948","title":"Milwaukee Avenue: Community Renewal in Minneapolis","description":"In the 1970s, a politically savvy and hardworking neighborhood organization, the Seward West Project Area Committee (PAC), outmaneuvered a public agency's renewal plan to demolish approximately 70 percent of a historic neighborhood in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Demolition would have included all the houses on Milwaukee Avenue, a half-hidden, very narrow two-block-long street flanked by small brick houses. Built in the 1880s, many of these houses were the very first homes in Minneapolis. \"Milwaukee Avenue\" offers a unique presentation of determined citizens saving their neighborhood in a decade that changed history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRoscoe, Robert:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Robert Roscoe has over thirty-five years of architectural office experience.
