I will be in Milwukee in April for a week for training for work, thinking about making a short trip to West Allis and seeing what is left of the old plant. Is the old plant on the corner of S 70th Street and Madison, just a few block over from the Milwaukee mile and State Fair park?

Yes. East side of the State Fair Park is 77th St. There is a shopping center at northeast corner of 70th and National (a couple blocks south of Madison) that is on ground that was part of the plant. There are still some buildings from the plant around it.

Sorry--I said 70th and National, meant 70th and Greenfield.
