The documentary KEEPERS OF THE LIGHT captures this modern-day race against time to move the structure away from the rapidly receding cliffside, and recounts the more than 200-year-old history of the iconic landmark. In 2015, a community rallied to save the famous Gay Head Lighthouse on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts from destruction by erosion. That's just how we felt in the Garden District. Do you know what's in that art deco-looking water tower that you see while driving on I-43 near the Plainfield curve? Have you ever seen a grave marker or monument being made? Have you been invited onto a military base and into the simulator of a military refueling plane? Do you know where you can get the best Italian beef sandwich you'll ever have? You're in for a treat. But we found tons of unexpected experiences in this under-celebrated area. With a name like the Garden District, you probably guessed, as we did, that this is a very environmentally conscious and eco-friendly community. Well, add an international airport and 40,000 people and that's just what the 13th aldermanic district on the south side of Milwaukee is.
The name sounds like this community should be in a pleasant little village where neighbors know each other and gather in community gardens. Around The Corner with John McGivern Milwaukee's Garden District Duration: 0:26:46
