Milwaukee Study Calls for Tearing Down 117-Year-Old Venue Amid Live Nation Expansion
I got sucked down a little rabbit hole: Speed limits on tertiary highways in #OpenStreetMap. People for Bikes just made a change on how they calculate bike level of traffic stress on those roads, and it relies on an assumed speed limits. This warranted some investigation of the data in #MadisonWI and #Milwaukee. And a lot of mapping activity, adding explicit `maxspeed=*` tags.

Today in Labor History February 3, 1910: Mary Harris "Mother" Jones addressed Milwaukee brewery workers during a two-month stint working alongside women bottle-washers while on leave from the United Mine Workers:
"Condemned to slave daily in the wash-room in wet shoes and wet clothes, surrounded with foul-mouthed, brutal foremen . . . the poor girls work in the vile smell of sour beer, lifting cases of empty and full bottles weighing from 100 to 150 pounds, in their wet shoes and rags, for they cannot buy clothes on the pittance doled out to them. . . . Rheumatism is one of the chronic ailments and is closely followed by consumption . . . An illustration of what these girls must submit to, one about to become a mother told me with tears in her eyes that every other day a depraved specimen of mankind took delight in measuring her girth & passing comments."
