From City Hall to the Pabst Theater, reminders of the past are part of the fabric of Milwaukee. Yet many historic treasures have been lost to time. An overgrown stretch of the Milwaukee River was once a famous beer garden. Blocks of homes and apartments replaced the Wonderland Amusement Park. A quiet bike path now stretches where some of fastest trains in the world previously thundered. Today's Estabrook Park was a vast mining operation, and Marquette University covers the old fairgrounds where Abraham Lincoln spoke. Author Carl Swanson recounts these stories and other tales of bygone days.

This coloring book depicts a central intersection in Madison Wisconsin from multiple points of view. Artist Doug E. L. Haynes drew locations on and around State Street in a way that will capture the hearts of University of Wisconsin alumni and other fans of this energetic place. The book finds great variety within a small geographic area. The art conveys Madison's weather and the mood of different times and seasons. State Street is a cultural and social hub that connects the UW-Madison campus to the State Capitol, for that reason it has also been the stage for a variety of protests and gatherings. Haynes' sketches show several of the temporary works of art that appeared briefly after George Floyd's murder. The book includes such iconic buildings as the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, the Orpheum theatre, the Triangle mart and the State Capitol. Drawings of Madison's past and future offer chances to reflect as the reader adds color to the scenes. In addition to the 35 original drawings, the book contains poetry and essays about State Street. Featured writers include the poet Fabu and Art Paul Schlosser. Readers will enjoy solving the Overture maze, scavenger hunt and Madison themed word search.
