Really enjoyed getting to know these #Kenosha neighbors with opposed political signs who still manage to get along. latimes.com/world-nation/s…

2/ They even have dueling lawn animals #Kenosha

3/ Their houses were built in 1910, all are #Kenosha natives who told me stories about growing up in farm and working families.

4/ Mary Morgan grew up Catholic, one of seven kids in #kenosha put herself through night school while raising her own children. Her ex husband and son were both police officers.

5/ Susan and Richard Hannes have been married nearly 55 years. They met when he was bartending and winked at her. “He said ‘What can I get you?’,” she said. “And my heart just went ‘poof’.”

6/ Susan Hannes feels compelled by the words of #JohnLewis to speak out, but unsure what to say. “I just don’t know how to talk to people with such opposing views,” she said. So she and her neighbor rely on their #kenosha yard signs.
