All of these were recorded on the Beer-line trail between 3 and 4 PM on Sunday, March 11.  My drift strategy was to random throw the google street view guy on Milwaukee and walk to that place from my dorm, which ended up in front of Riverwest Film and Video.  I chose to walk some of the way there along the Beer-line trail because I didn't want the same path there and back.
I learned that sometimes to get the best recordings you just need to record because your brain filters out certain sounds.   Sometimes you are surprised by what sounds you find, for example I didn't realized that I recorded the beeping sound of a truck backing up.  Sometimes you and just happen to walk up on a sound you want, like I found a cardnal, so you shouldn't expect that you can just find the sound you want by going to someplace.
