The early 1980s was a time noted for decay of infrastructure and social fabric in many American cities. But in these B&W photos of Milwaukee from 1981 you see people and patterns that reflect a much earlier time and sensibility; when people dressed up or proudly wore their work clothes downtown to shop.
The color photos of 2013 return to the same locations.
