My grandfather [[b. 1891 and baptized at St. John-St. Luke) lived on Hastings St. between [today's] Monroe and Lafayette. His father was Irish and his mother was German. The neighborhood was German; his best friend's dad owned a bar on Lafayette. As a young boy, he used to hang out at the Dodge Brothers garage at the corner of Hastings and Monroe!! The family moved east over near Water Works Park sometime in the 1910s.
