Let's explore the music of everyday life in Riverwest, where within earshot you can hear everything from punk to opera — which underscores the incredible diversity of the neighborhood. We go beyond the music scene and into the soundscape by considering the bells of St. Casimir. The church's vibrating-boom of bronze is omnipresent, which proved to be a haunting sound 100 years ago during the Spanish flu. And we hear from the man with the sweetest song of all, mailman Mike, who is without a doubt one of the most well-known and well-liked humans in the neighborhood.
