Cream City Brick

I took Greenfield and National from Highway 100 to 1st street the other day, and drove by La Perla on 5th. I've never eaten there, but I must have driven by it before, right? Maybe not. I was struck by the nice cream city brick the place was, and the black trim they used to accent it. Just gorgeous. Then I got to thinking about how nice of a color palette that makes. I'd like to try and emulate it in some of my pieces, but I guess I'll just have to wait until I have the right ones to do it with :D What could be more Milwaukee than white brick, right?

PS- I love love LOVE the Joseph & Vera Zilber Building (Hillel Center)- absolutely breathtaking in person.
