Greenbush Day had to have plenty of food: crisp sesame biscotti, savory hush puppies, spicy egg rolls – to represent the Italian, African-American and Asian communities who live there. There was music, too, at the celebration of the storied neighborhood hosted Tuesday by UW-Madison.
….A prominent presence, too, at the celebration was the university, whose expansion has been a second transformation of a neighborhood first remade by urban renewal projects of the 1960s.
Today UW is working partnerships with community organizations to make the â??Bush a learning laboratory that benefits both students and other residents.
