My parents, Mario & Jennie Monno Ranelli, are in this film twice, at about the six minute point. Mario was born here on January 18, 1922. His birth certificate read #24 Phalen Creek. Salvatore, his father, arrived in 1911, then joined the Army for WW I. Then he went to Italy of find Concettina Di Nino & bring her in 1920 to Swede Hollow. No running water, no electricity & tar paper shacks & outhouses over the creek for sewage. Over 1,000 people. Mario took his parents to Italy to visit their big families in Corfinio & Abruzzo. Jennie's father was from Santa Lucia Del Mela, Sicily. The Monno's had 15 children in Cumberland, Wisconsin, w/ no running water or electricity until 1938. Jennie is 97. Salvatore & Concettina both lived 96 years & had moved up to 693 Bedford Street where their son lived until 2004.
I can't stop watching the kids on the tree at 7:10 :) Swede Hollow was way different when I hung out there in the 1980's - all the houses were gone. There were still train tracks though. We'd hop trains to get back and forth between Swede Hollow and Mounds Park.
I grew up on the 80s/90s going there. As kids it was a hang out spot away from adults. My dad and i would bike ride, stop and run down and up the stairs. Good memories.
My dad, Matthew Manocchio, grew up in Swede Hollow with his 5 sisters. The family moved up on the street and lived next door to the Sanchelli's. Fond memories!
A partner of Hamm's, His name was Keller, Originally built the brewery over artesian springs, Keller built it from a loan he got from Hamm. When Keller died, Hamm got the brewery, Hired Jacob Schmidt as his master brewer, and Hamm's Beer went on to become a big success. In the 1880's Schmidt had a falling out with the Hamm's Family, and went on to his own success with Schmidt's Brewing Company. Both brands are still being brewed today.

It's funny how you can sing the commercials you saw as a kid- and nostalgic too!
